Show up with anyone of these amazing Christmas gifts for the hostess and it will guarantee a future invite.
1. A Great Wine Chiller
The festive season is fast approaching and that means it’s time to break out the bubbly or a bottle of wine. This stainless steel wine chiller from Nordstrom is the perfect solution for keeping adult beverages cool. It’s available in a variety of pastel shades (and white) – the vacuum technology is not only effective but the design is also eye-catching. Just unscrew the lid, insert the bottle and wait for the company to arrive.
2. Cake Stand
Looking for gifts for hostess who likes to bake cakes or share recipes on her personal blog? Afternoon tea or that special occasion is simply not complete without that special cake. Make sure that the cake she bakes is the center of attention with a stoneware cake stand from H&M. Variegated coloring, timeless and minimalist design and an asymmetric rim means that this beige stand will simply never go out of style. It’s 3 inches in height with a diameter of 10.5 inches making it suitable for just about any cake creation. If the hostess in your life is a baker, this will make an excellent gift.

They are made using only the best grade of silicon, meaning they are incredibly flexible and heat resistant up to 650 degrees. Magnets and loops mean that there are multiple hanging options.

Pot holders have a hole in the back that allows a hand to be slipped inside for added convenience of use and extra control. One of my favorite Christmas gifts for the hostess!
