It’s the holiday season, full of joy and celebrations galore! There are so many events to attend, and I love ensuring the person responsible for opening their home and hosting an event feels appreciated. And while a verbal “thank you” is always great, I love going the extra mile with a written note and gift I know the hostess will enjoy.

There are so many fun gift categories to choose from. You can spoil your hostess with something edible, functional, or beautiful this holiday season. There are great hostess gift ideas for every budget, from under $10 to $50. You could add a few of these ideas to make a curated basket for your hostess. Don’t forget to consider the interests and tastes of your hostess.
