A few days ago, I told you about the Personalized Initially Your Hostess Gift Set which included cocktail napkins. Here is another hostess gift idea that would go great with the cocktail napkins or even given alone with a bottle of wine.

It’s always extra special when you give a gift that is personalized. A friend of mine just received a beautiful fleece blanket with her initials on it and she just loves it.
