holiday gift guide 2025 | hostess with the mostest

Uncategorized

December 3, 2025

Who says the hostess with the most can’t be spoiled a little, too? 😉 Whether you’re showing up as a guest or hosting your own holiday soiree this season, having a thoughtful hostess gift in tow is such a sweet way to say “thank you for the perfectly put together party+ all the holly jolly fun.” A little extra happy is always appreciated… especially when everyone is busy busy busy and the host still finds the time to throw an extra social event on their already full plate.

You know me… I don’t like boring + basic so I’ve rounded up my favorite holiday-ready hostess gifts: from festive candles to luxe hostessing essentials, cute serving pieces to extra-pretty kitchen goodies — all things that feel warm, welcoming and just the right amount of holiday magic. So grab a little inspiration (or treat yourself while you’re at it) — a perfect hostess gift is just a click away.

And because every good hostess needs a festive look of her own, I had to share this head-to-toe Anthropologie moment. The red Halsey Slim Button-Front Vest [wearing XS/runs TTS] and Colette Full-Length Velvet Pants [runs TTS/wearing size 24] are such a showstopper for holiday parties, and I paired it with the Maeve Velvet Studded Clutch for a little edgy touch. Add the Maeve Platform Gold Heels [I’ve been wearing on repeat!!] and you’re set for anything from cocktail hour to Christmas dinner … chic, comfy and totally celebration-ready!! And of course the Confetti Wine Glasses [just $32 for a pair] also make an extra festive + fun hostess gift option as well.

This year’s hostess roundup is full of those charming little happies that make arriving at any gathering feel extra thoughtful. Think festive treats, pretty drinkware and playful party pieces that add instant cheer = from holiday cocktail books and peppermint crunch to colorful coupes and that adorable “Better Not Pout” pillow. I added a few elevated kitchen staples and monogrammed touches (always a yes for gifting!), plus cute ornaments, match sets, and tabletop goodies that any hostess will actually use long after the party’s over. Whether you’re headed to a cookie swap, Christmas Eve dinner, or a laid-back girls’ night in, these finds are sweet, stylish, and guaranteed to earn you an invite back.

And as always… don’t forget to check out my full holiday hub of all the gift guides your heart desires!! For everyone on your list [and maybe a few little happies for yourself] this Christmas season OXOX
