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.

The wine glasses pictured here are the Personalized Initially Yours Wine Glass Set. Here’s a description:

Choose from 10 Monogram colors! A toast to your good taste and individual style! Make a perfectly impressive statement to party guests with crystal clear wine glasses, artfully personalized with your single, scrolled initial. Specify any initial and preview the monogram below. Sold as a Set of 4 (same initial appears on all 4 glasses). Measures approximately 6 3/4″ in height and holds 8 1/2 oz. Available in your choice of 10 monogram colors, to coordinate beautifully with any decor.

If you know that your hostess drinks wine, then this would make a beautiful hostess gift that she could definitely get some use out of and enjoy.

Personalized Initially Yours Hostess Gift Set

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. It made her feel wonderful to know that someone took the time and thought of a gift idea for her way in advance. Giving a gift that is personalized shows the person you are giving it to, that you were thinking of them and not at the last minute.

The gift pictured here is the Personalized Initially Yours Hostess Gift Set. This is a set of cocktail napkins that you can have personalized with the hostess single initial. They come in rich burgundy and evergreen colors and the initial is done in your choice of gold or silver. There are 50 of each color and they come in a beautiful box that is tied with a satin ribbon.

Imagine the look on the hostess face when you arrive at a party with this gift in hand. This is something that is sure to make your hostess smile and feel appreciated.

Hostess Gift – Hostess Helper Cheese Gift Tray

Julie Bonner — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:25:33 +0000

I really like this Hostess Helper Cheese Gift Tray and know that I would enjoy receiving it as a gift. Not only can you re-use the tin that it comes in, but it also has a stable shelf life of 12 months. This is something the hostess will not have to use right away and after she does use it, she’ll have a lovely tin to remind her of you.

The tin comes with four different cheeses: a 3.75-oz. box of Camembert and a 3.75-oz. box of Brie pasteurized process cheeses, a 4-oz. triangle of Wisconsin Hot Pepper pasteurized process cheese and a 4-oz. triangle of Wisconsin Cheddar pasteurized process cheese. It also comes with a serving spreader knife, which the hostess can also use over and over again.

If you don’t know your hostess very well, this is a good moderate gift to give that almost anyone could use and enjoy.

Hostess Gift – Five Fabulous Things You Can’t Live Without

Julie Bonner — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 17:07:09 +0000

With Christmas right around the corner and New Year’s on its way, most likely you have or will be invited to a party or two. I always think it’s a good idea to bring the host/hostess of the party a gift. The gift is just your way of telling them thank you for inviting you and showing them that you appreciate them.

Over the next few weeks, I’ll give you some great hostess gift ideas. Some you can make yourself and some are a little more extravagant.

I love this first hostess gift idea and I got this idea from the book Make It Memorable: An A-Z Guide to Making Any Event, Gift or Occasion…Dazzling!, which is just a fabulous book that I highly recommend.

Five Fabulous Things…You Can’t Live Without

This is as much fun to give a hostess entertaining you as it is to buy: Think of five of your favorite things, the most fabulous things you love, enjoy, andjust couldn’t live without. For one person, that’s a certain magazine, and for another, it’s a gadget. It can be anything that you just adore. Fill a box, or basket, or bag with these items, and a note that says, “Here are six fabulous things I can’t live without. You already know you’re the first!”

I just love this idea and have so many ideas spinning around in my head. When I think of some of the things I can’t live without I think of my favorite wine, a good book, some luxurious lotion, my favorite chocolate and my wine preserver. What are five fabulous things you can’t live without?
