I’ve got a great gift guide for the foodie and host(ess) in your life! I’ve rounded up some of my personal favorites as well as some things on my own Santa List. There are gifts in all price ranges, too!

The Ultimate Summer Gift Guide for the Host or Hostess @jacarandaliving

Summer is upon us and there is no better way to spend your weekends than on a beach with your friends. If you are planning to visit a friend’s beach house this summer for a dinner party or a long weekend, be sure to bring a few nautical-inspired beach products to thank your host or hostess and leave them with something beautiful that they can add to their home. Below is a list of a few of my…

Sometimes getting a host/hostess gift is challenging. Look at what I found on Etsy.

‘Tis the season for holiday gatherings! Invites abound, and although they request nothing more than your mere presence, it isn’t good manners to show up empty-handed. Luckily, we’ve identified three ways of saying thanks to the party-thrower at your next holiday soiree.

#1 - Say thank you with: Oenophile awesomeness. 'Oenophile' is just a fancy term for someone who adores wine. And, with a name like that, you know the wine-lovers in your life are going to be a bit picky about the kind they drink. Rather than give them a bottle of wine they might not enjoy, we recommend gifting a related accessory. We love this multi-toned wine balancer from Reaves Woodworks. Your party-thrower can use it to store wine used on a daily basis, or for elevated decoration at a party.  Runner-up: The awesome Twisted Wine Stand from Crooked Corks.

#2 -  Say thank you with: With rustic charm.  Ah, the phenomenon known as “wine ring.” Discovered post-party, it usually appears on your favorite table, or other porous surface that absorbs accidental spills like a thirsty sponge. One way to reduce their appearance over time? With these holiday appropriate pine beverage coasters, which radiate rustic charm without being too over-the-top.  Runner-up: Gorge tea towels from Artery. We like this one!

#3 -  Say thank you with: A touch of typography. OK, we’ll admit it: We cheated on this one. It’s actually two gifts in one, but the two-part package packs a one-two punch your host won’t soon forget. Here are the elements: This adorable porcelain soap dish from Artery and this super colorful ombre soap. Bonus? Every time your host uses the combination, they'll be reminded of your kind gesture.

Runner-up: Super adorable Nautical Knot Soap from The Bower Studio.
