With the summer in full swing your social calendar is probably packed with showers, BBQ’s and other fun parties. I was always taught to never show up empty handed to someone’s house – regardless of if its a game night or formal get together! These gifts don’t have to break the bank and are just really your way of thanking the host for inviting you to their home or party! Some of these require a little more forethought and planning and other’s can be picked up the day of the party!
For the Girls Night: Stemless Wine Glasses; Votive Candles; Pretty Stationary
For the more formal dinner party: Some macaroons from a local bakery; Fresh flowers from the farmers market; another take on cards against humanity
For the BBQ or Foodie in your life: A variety of olive oils; a monogrammed cheese board; some quirky BBQ sauces
As most of you know TJ Maxx & Marshalls have a fantastic home goods sections and you can always pick little things up for a fraction of store prices! If you haven’t checked out their stationary – run don’t walk there NOW!! When in doubt a nice bottle of wine enclosed in a cute bag will always be a welcome party gift!
What’s your go to gift for the host?
Linking up with these lovely ladies: Zelle, Katie, Kristina & Amanda for #TrendingTuesday.
xo,
LOVE these ideas! Marshalls does have a great selection. I always get the bus drivers and teachers little gifts each year. Those wine glasses are so pretty and summery. XO
Love all of these!
I am all about a good hostess gift. It's funny how few women [especially younger ladies] don't understand the concept of a hostess gift. I'm usually a flower, candle or wine girl, but I love the other ideas here. Great post lady.
I'm a fan of sweet and thoughtful hostess gifts as well — it sounds like your mama raised you right! 😉
ooh i love tabletopics!
Such great ideas! I love TJMaxx and Marshall's selections! They are the best!

I love putting together hostess gifts! Completely agree with you on TJMaxx/Homegoods- they're my go to!

Those stemless glasses would go perfectly with my blue kitchen decor! Hostess gifts are so fun and you can be so creative too!
Love these ideas! Where I'm from people don't really do hostess gifts unless it's a bottle of wine or something like that. Love the sentiment though. I always bring a bottle of wine, but I might have to mix it up!
Loving all of these! Pretty stationery really is the best! xo
A girl can never have too much wine.. or candles! Great picks 🙂
These are great suggestions! I always find that a nice bottle of wine and some cocktail napkins do the trick.
I'm with you! It's always nice to show up with something– even if it's small. And I have a little bit of a hoarding problem with stationary and greeting cards– but they always have the best designs that are so inexpensive at Home Goods like you said!
I completely agree nothing like showing up ended handed or not leaving a blog comment on a linkup…..just saying 😉
A nice bottle of wine is always my go to!
Love your picks. I am especially loving the wine glasses and pretty stationary!
I completely agree with the hostess gift!! Even if it's just a bottle of wine or a festive mixed cocktail to contribute to the party, it's alway important to show up with something!
Love all these ideas! I usually always bring food but something that lasts a little longer is probably a better idea!
Love those wine glasses!! I am definitely the same way with "never show up empty handed"
Ahhh I love that stationary! So pretty!
Love these ideas! Especially the macaroons!! Yummy 🙂
All such great ideas! I think it's always so thoughtful to bring a hostess gift, even if it's something small 🙂
Love finding great hostess gifts and you're so right about TJ Maxx and Marshall's having great selections!
Wine or Champagne have always been my standard hostess gift. But I really like the idea of bringing macarons, since they are my fav and they are just so beautiful!
These are such great hostess gifts! I can never find the perfect gift and I think these are it! 🙂

I usually end up bringing wine, but flowers and candles are a good go to. Monogrammed napkins are cute too.
Great post! I always end up bringing wine – BAWWWRING! I need to keep some of these things on hand!
All such great ideas! I would love any of these if I was hosting! So thoughtful!
if i am hosting you better bring me macarons thats all im saying and don't be surprised if i eat the entire box by the time the party is finished
I love this!! Thanks for the tips and ideas!!
I love the one with the variety of oils and BBQ's for a backyard BBQ!!
I also like the idea of bringing someone some fresh flowers, so easy and simple to do!!
Great ideas! I need to start brainstorming what to get my sister's for hosting my baby shower!
Love those glasses! Even 2 as a gift would be so cute (and equal another gift for later ha). You can come over whenevs thanks to your great hostess-loving ability 😉
The glasses would be my pick! … though I love all of them.
I love putting gifts together for people, but ahhh I need that leopard stationary for myself!!
Love the glasses! All such great ideas, though!
These are all such great ideas and really love the thought of bringing fresh, special baked goods as a little gift. Thanks for all the great ideas 🙂

SOO thoughtful of you! i love the little bbq set!! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
Such great ideas!!! I don't always bring a gift but I should 🙂 I just love buying them for other people!
Home Goods notes/stationary section gets me every time!! So much goodness there! And how have I never heard of Table Topics before?! This would be fun to have, even just for Nick and I!
I feel like I want to have a party just so I can buy MYSELF some macaroons now! hahah 😛
i keep hoping i[ll receive gifts like this when i host things at my house, hasn't happened yet
Excellent gift ideas! I'd love to get some macarons… 🙂

What great ideas! Love this! Marshall's is my go-to for stationery too 🙂
Excellent ideas Biana! I don't go to home parties nearly enough but I will certainly be keeping these ideas in mind the next time that I do! 🙂
