Traveling to visit family & friends and backyard summer parties are two of my favorite things about summer! And both mean being prepared with hostess gifts – I try to stay stocked up on them so that when a trip comes up or a party invite arrives, instead of making a frantic last minute run to find a hostess gift, I have a stash of gifts that are ready to roll! And they’re a lot more thoughtful and unique than a gift you grab on the go. Ready to snag a few of my ideas? (post includes some affiliate links):
Some of my favorite hostess gifts involve pairing a small gift with a cute tea towel. And let me tell you, there are some seriously adorable tea towels out there like {this Boston terrier tea towel} or {this Persian cat towel} that’s perfect for a pet lover,
{this watercolor floral tea towel} that’s so beautiful that your host could even frame it as art,
or (if you have time to order something personalized), one of {these beautiful monogrammed tea towels}:
These are a few other favorites (images are clickable):
Depending on the event, a beautifully wrapped tea towel may be enough of a gift but if you’d like to give a little more, a few of my go-to ideas are to wrap a tea towel (I used {this one} in the pic below) around a bottle of wine or sparkling cider and tie it with a ribbon:

or include a favorite treat! It can be anything from a bottle of gourmet syrup (I bundled mine with {this towel}):
to a jar of local honey:
HomeGoods is my go-to place for stocking up on these unique little treats at a reasonable price – if you’ve always walked by their food aisle check it out next time you’re there!
Some other hostess gift ideas include a special candle like {this “Home Sweet Home” soy candle} that comes with an adorable linen drawstring bag,
