Sure, entertaining is great, but you know what’s even better? Being a guest. All you have to do is accept the invitation, show up and enjoy the hospitality of your incredible host who’s most certainly done the most. So what can you bring when you’re told not to bring a thing? An extremely thoughtful and chic hostess gift, of course!
Etiquette dictates that invitees should never arrive empty handed, and don’t get us wrong, a crisp bottle of French Champagne will always be appreciated, but if you really want to make someone feel special, then a truly thoughtful hostess gift is a guaranteed path to guest of honour status.
From chic tableware essentials to unexpected little luxuries, these are the best editor-approved hostess gifts worth giving.
