Holiday Gift Guide 2010: For the Hostess

This gift guide was so much fun to put together.  I love giving hostess gifts just as much as I love getting them.  They are very personal and special, and you don't have to spend a lot to find a unique hostess gift.  Here are a few gift ideas that will sure to impress any hostess.

These cupcake pedestals are ridiculously cute.

Pick from an array of colors and patterns to make it unique, fun, and personal.

I just love these handwritten stamps.  Yes, it's a stamp!  This one is on my list for sure.

My all-time favorite candle is the Capri Blue candle.  All of the fragrances smell divine.  You can't go wrong with any of them.  This candle makes me happy and I can promise you any hostess would be pleased to receive one.

What hostess doesn't need an apron?  How about a darling, retro, I Love Lucy apron?

These personalized coasters make a great hostess gift.

How fun are these monogrammed soaps from Pottery Barn?

Marye-Kellye offers a variety of picture frames, waste baskets, tissue box covers, and much more.  You can choose from many patterns, and have them personalized.  This mail holder makes a good gift for just about anyone on your list.

The countdown to Christmas has begun.  Only 24 days left!  Oh the hustle and bustle!  It's definitely feeling a lot like Christmas.  We built our first fire of the season last night.  Coziness.  I have also come to learn every. single. word. to The Grinch movie.  It's Grayson's favorite movie right now, and he has to watch it about 10 times in one day.  No exaggeration.  Oh well, at least it's a darling Christmas movie.

Happy Wednesday!
