7 Holiday Host Gifts from Meijer!

 

I’ve been saying this nonstop, but ’tis the season for holiday parties!! I mean… I’m NOT wrong here!! Even beyond just the parties – it’s really the season for hosting in general! House guests, cozy movie nights, drinks with the girls. No one wants to go outside (at least not in Chicago), so gathering in someone’s warm home pretty much always wins.

 

I usually like to bring some sort of gift, alcohol or food to the full blown parties, even if it’s just a bottle of wine. That’s a given. But let’s say you have a friend/family member who is ridiculously generous and always hosts gatherings at their place? You stay at their house every Christmas, or you eat their pretty cheese platters nearly every Friday night… if you can relate to this, then maybe it’s time to reward them!

 

But what to get?! What would be thoughtful, budget friendly AND useful? Luckily, Meijer has a ton of incredible gifts for this very purpose. You could certainly give each of these pieces separately, but I thought it might be fun to pair some things together for different types of people, parties, personalities, and relationships. So… here we go!

 

I love these goodies for a family hosting a party. This plaid tray is super festive and might even be used at the party you’re attending, which is always fun. Then, there’s the Modern Family Cookbook, which could be a new way to get the kids interested in cooking (especially if they like the show), plus the olive oil can be used in the process!! And I threw a candle in there for the Mama, because… she might need to relax after the party, am I right??

 

 

 

 

This is one of my favorite gifts in this roundup, because it’s perfect for the cozy hostess! She can set cookies out on the wooden platter, turn Elf or Home Alone on the TV and whip up some hot chocolate in this adorable (and huge!) new mug! Bonus: these wood coasters are so rustic looking that you could totally give them to a guy, too. Woo!

 

 

 

We all have a friend who loves candles and is always cold, do we not? Well this time, she pours the wine and you bring her this cinnamon candle and cozy blanket scarf! Easy peasy!

 

 

 

 

A dessert cookbook and chocolate. This combo could work for literally ANYONE with a sweet tooth!! And maybe they’ll invite you over again to try one of their cast iron creations 😉

 

 

 

Cheese always looks more impressive on a pretty granite platter… and these coasters match it so beautifully! Now, I know coffee and cheese aren’t usually paired together – but most of my friends love both, so this combo seemed very logical to me. Anyone else??

 

 

Hello, fancy cocktail party! Everyone likes champagne, especially in a cute bag like this one. And instead of just bringing booze, this gold frame is a fun way to personalize the gift. Throw in a photo from their holiday soiree last year and they’ll want to put it right on the mantle!

 

 

 

And last but not least, sometimes you want to bring something for the cute little munckins!! Sure, they might not actually be hosting your stay or the party, but they sure do make the whole visit more adorable, right?!

 

 

What do you guys like to bring as host/hostess gifts??

 

 

Happy Holidays!
