Throwing a party is hard work (unless you hire The Party Planning Committee to put together the fete for you...)! Give all of those hard-working hosts and hostesses something great this holiday! 

Here are some of our favourite picks this year:

1. Flowering teapot (Available at Canadian Tire - around $20 with tea flowers).
2, A handsome Christmas ornament (we're impressed with Bowring's selection this year)
3. New kitchen tools wrapped and tied with ribbon in a festive oven mitt.
4. Personalized Pyrex dish full of brownies! (Glass etching cream and stencils are available at Michaels.)
5. If you're handy in the kitchen, these homemade stained glass cookies from Martha Stewart are a showstopper! Even if you're not so handy, buy a roll of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, cut out ornament shapes, and fill the centre with crushed hard candy (like Jolly Ranchers). Punch a small hole at the top before baking and tie with a ribbon!
6. We love these Kate Spade gold dot napkins. Even better - DIY some with linen napkins, a pencil eraser and gold fabric paint!
- rosemary infused sea salt put your sea salt and rosemary in a sauté pan and warm up for about 15 minutes. Then discard the rosemary and pour salt into individual containers.
7. Rosemary infused sea salt (Warm sea salt and rosemary in a pan and for 15 minutes. Discard rosemary and pour salt into individual containers with fresh rosemary).
What hostess gifts do you love giving?

Love,
Ashley, Jen and Alessandra
