If you’ve ever been inside a grocery store the week before Turkey Day, then you know how lucky you are NOT to be hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year. Be sure and show your gratitude to the person who’s willing to do all that work– so you don’t have to, with a token of your appreciation.
Here’s 10 gift ideas to bring your wonderful Hostess with the Mostess this holiday season.
Bring a pie in a beautiful pie basket like this one from Peterboro Basket Company which can flawlessly transport two pies.
You might also want to check out ebay for some great vintage pie carriers like this one listed for less than $10 at the moment.
Don’t feel bad about cracking open that bottle of wine you brought if you’re pouring it into a gorgeous wine carafe like this one from UncommonGoods.com.
Or cap it with one of these spirited silver-plated bottle stoppers from Pottery Barn.
Help your hostess keep the conversation flowing by bringing conversation cards from Table Topics with you. With more than 17 editions to choose from, you’re bound to find one that will meet your needs. Some of our favorites include: the Not Your Mom’s Dinner Party edition and the Right or Wrong edition. In our experience, they work famously when paired generously with alcohol.
Got the art of small talk mastered? Then bring some sweets to the table in these adorable ‘unsealed’ glass bowls.
If balancing your pig-in-a-blanket with your Dom Perignon all while making scintillating conversation is a problem you anticipate, the SpoonSisters have the answer in these handy little FINGERFOOD plates.
If you’re really looking to make a good impression or you’re attending a more formal affair, these colorful wobble glasses from the MoMA store or this two tier serving tray from Cambria Cove will leave even the pickiest in awe.
Leave behind the sweet smell of the pumpkin pie or hot apple strudel you helped scarf down with one of these handmade soybean candles from blisscandles.
Or be the topic of future conversation by leaving your hostess with these soap leaves from wrapables.com, sure to thrill future guests.
Yours Truly,
Lady Lex
