Holiday Gift Guide – Gifts for the Hostess

Hey y’all! Back again with another gift guide. This time it’s a Holiday Gift Guide – Gifts for the Hostess! We probably all have that one friend that loves hosting or at least loves the look of a bar cart in her living room (a.k.a. me). These gifts are the perfect option for any hostess in your life!

As with my previous gift guides,ย Gifts for Men Under $50 and Cozy Gifts Under $50, I wanted to keep this gift guide UNDER $50 as well! It just makes it that much more affordable and helpful for anyone shopping for lots of people! I even was able to find a multiple bar carts for UNDER $50 which is basically impossible. I hope you guys enjoy!

Can we also talk about the colors in this because I’m loving all the blush pinks and golds. Be sure to shop all the items I have in the photo below and read more to see all the other cute items I rounded up like these! There are over 60 items to shop from in this post which means over 60 items to make your friend’s holiday great!


Cappuccinoย Mug Sets: This is more of a “coffee bar” option, but the saying is “it’s coffee o’clock til wine o’clock” right? Plus, why can’t we have both! This mug set is a Lilly Pulitzer mug set that I love and actually have a similar pink version! This is their newest one and I found it for under $50 which I was really happy about. I think the idea of getting cappuccino sets is so cute and perfect for any hostess in your life. Shop my favorite coffee mug sets below:

Bottle Openers: I mean you can’t have drinks without the bottles being opened am I right? These are a quick, easy, and affordable gift for any hostess! They can be so cute and chic like the ones pictured above. I figured I’d link both wine openers and bottle openers because different people prefer different drinks! I rounded up some options for you guys to shop below:

Mule Mugs: Mules are a classic drink for any bar cart in my opinion. First of all, the color of them is extremely chic. Second, they are super easy to make and your guests are sure to love them! I figured I’d also find a link to a super easy recipe which is (here rel=โ€nofollowโ€). It only includes three simple ingredients: ginger beer, lime juice, and vodka! It would be such a cute idea to do a mule mug kit as a gift! So I’ll link some mule mugs sets as well as ingredients to make the perfect mule mug mix below:

Serving Tray: Whether your hostess just appreciates breakfast in bed or she loves to serve coffee after a meal, a serving tray is the perfect gift! I personally have a white marble tray that I just love. I rounded up six of my top favorites that I think will be perfect for any hostess in your life and I hope you agree! Shop my choices below:

Stemless Wine Glass: Stemless wine glasses are easily the best gift to get any hostess out there. They’re affordable, sometimes punny, and easy to grab last minute! The one I linked above I thought was just adorable and says “Brunch is Always a Good Idea” which is so true. I also thought I would add a bunch of other cute stemless wine glass options below! Some even have lids which is great if you’re having people over and don’t want anything messed up. Check them out below:

Chic Coasters: Coasters are another affordable but cute option for any hostess in your life. They can be matched to any room or to any bar cart they have! The ones I chose match both the bar cart and the serving tray in the photo above, so together it’s such a cohesive idea. I also love the gold design they have! It’s very unique. I rounded up some of my other coaster favorites below:

Books about Drinks: For the aspiring mixologist, this gift option is PERFECT. They’ll be able to learn how to mix drinks like the best of them and not even have to leave the comfort of their own home! This Rose All Day book was super popular last year but I’m sure it’ll be just as popular again this holiday season! Below I rounded up some other affordable books about drink mixing that are sure to make any hostess excited:

Ice Bucket: You can’t have a bar cart without ice! What would you put in the drinks? There are so many cute and affordable ice buckets out there and the one I added in the photo above is under $50 and also comes with four gold flute glasses as well! It’s a two-in-one gift and it’s a great option for the hostess in your life. I also linked a few other options below in case gold isn’t you, or your gift receiver’s, forte. Check them out:

Bar Cart: The last item that is the best gift idea for the hostess in your life is a literal bar cart! The one pictured above is UNDER $50 which I couldn’t even believe! It’s too chic and will look great in any space. I also found some other great bar cart ideas that are under $50. If someone in your life has been wanting one or asking for one, definitely be sure to check out the options below:


I hope you guys enjoyed this Holiday Gift Guide – Gifts for the Hostessย and that it inspired you to get some cute new gifts for the hostess in your life. Be sure to check out my first two gift guides: Gifts for Men Under $50 and Cozy Gifts Under $50. These might give you some inspo too!

Tonight I was heating up sausage on the stove and my fire alarm started going off. I walked outside because I thought it was a drill (???) and it was JUST MY APARTMENT BEEPING. โฃ

Please make me feel better and tell me in the comments if youโ€™ve set off the fire alarm before while cooking and what food it was that you were heating up. ๐Ÿ•

I rarely have cash and when I do itโ€™s like $20 bills. I will actually just hand a $20 to someone asking for help and not bat an eyelash. โฃIts honestly why I canโ€™t live in NYC.

I didnโ€™t realize how much I wanted to โ€œfit inโ€ with the European beauty standards that I couldnโ€™t seem to replicate until much later on in life.โฃ

Obviously I have NOT experienced this as much as women who are darker skinned with potentially kinkier hair, and I acknowledge that privilege, but it was still really hard for me! โฃ
