Gifting 101: Host & Hostess Gift Ideas

With Thanksgiving and the holiday season just around the corner, now is a good time to brush up on your host/hostess gift etiquette. At Black Bow Gift Co., we believe it’s always a kind (and welcome!) gesture to bring something for the entertainer. Large or small, a gift will express your appreciation for the invitation and all the hard work they put into planning a special soiree.

Below are some thoughtful product ideas for the perfect host or hostess gift:

Beverages & Barware
Consider giving something that can be used to toast a special occasion. Indulgent drinks such as a nice bottle of wine, whiskey or an unique cocktail mix can all act as a fun addition to their bar collection. Additionally gifting items such as cocktail glasses, a shaker, or bottle opener are a perfect and practical combination.

Savories & Sweets
Indulgent treats are always a great idea for someone that loves to celebrate. We love to choose products made with quality ingredients and unique flavours that can be used as a personal reward for the entertainer after a long day of prepping and planning. Or they may choose to be save them to wow their guests at the next event they host!

Serveware
If you have a friend that loves to throw parties, chances are they also love to have the latest and greatest serveware to entertain with style. Why not give a gift that adds some flair to their collection? We love pieces such as a hand-crafted cutting board, cheese knife, or unique coasters.

Notebook & Pen
For the ultimate party planner, a trendy notebook and pen and a thoughtful gift will come in handy for jotting down ideas, new recipes, to-do lists, guest lists and so much more!

Games
Games are a great gift that can be enjoyed by all for many nights to come. Consider giving a classy set of playing cards, a box of trivia questions, a collection of jokes appropriate for the occasion, or a board game.
