Holiday Gift Ideas - For the Hostess

I had these grand plans of doing all of these amazing in-depth gift guides for all of you.  I even planned everything out while I was in Hawaii in October.  Well, life happened and I never had a chance to do it...but I am going to try and do some shortened, quick guides for you!

First up gift ideas for the hostess...or anyone who loves to host! 

#1 - Stemless Wine Glasses - If you follow me on the blog's FB page or Instgram account than you have definitely seen these American Atelier wine glasses.  They are by far my FAVORITE stemless wine glasses...heavy duty glass, fun speckle pattern (also comes in other options if this isn't for you) and overall a great glass. I have two sets at home and I give at least one or two of these to folks each year.  Highly recommend, they are a great gift...especially for someone who has everything. 

#2 - Candles - I know it's seems like a stereotypical gift but I don't tend to buy super nice candles for the house so I love when people give them to me as gifts.  Here are some of my favorites: 

• Nest (great holiday scent) - http://shopstyle.it/l/p21M
• Voluspa (buy the set and break up for individual gifts) - http://shopstyle.it/l/p21x
• Jo Malone - http://shopstyle.it/l/p2Zw
• Simpatico - http://shopstyle.it/l/p20I

#3 - Mugs - Another stereotypical gift but again not something that I usually buy for myself but it makes for a great gift.  Again, another gift idea especially for teachers, co-workers, etc.  I usually put a gift card or pair of studs in the mug and give together as a gift.  Here are some of my favorites this season -

• Monogram - http://shopstyle.it/l/p22h
• More affordable monogram - http://shopstyle.it/l/p23Q 
• Pretty print set (buy the set and break it up for individual gifts) - http://shopstyle.it/l/p24r

#4 - Blankets - I'm OBSESSED with the Barefoot Dreams brand..and I LOVE to give their blankets as gifts.  Nordstrom Rack always has them discounted.  They are sooo soft and make for a great gift because most people won't buy them.  Here are some of my favorites - chevron print, trimmed, and vertical stripe. 

#5 - Diffuser - This is my new obsession so I don't have a candle burning all day long.  I picked up one on Amazon for my office and a more decorative one at Nordstrom for our home.  Make for a great gift because it can be turned into whatever scent you want.  Here are a few options in a variety of price points -

• Basic white at Amazon - http://amzn.to/2kplTwB 
• Serene at Nordstrom - http://shopstyle.it/l/p3nE 
• Serene at Nordstrom - http://shopstyle.it/l/p3o4
• Bamboo at Amazon - http://amzn.to/2BKadbT
