Welcome to day two of Sparkles & Shoes 2021 holiday content! Hopefully you managed to see yesterday’s blog post – Gift Ideas for Her – complete with 47 of my favorite picks but today we are switching gears. I do not know about you but this holiday season I will finally get to spend it with friends and family and that means hostess gifts galore! I find it tricky to know what to bring, especially if you do not know the person well so I have put together a handful of ideas that steer clear of your traditional flowers and chocolate in two hostess gift guide round ups.
And before we get into the gift guides I must say THANK YOU! I did an Instagram poll asking if it was too early to decorate for Christmas given we do not celebrate Thanksgiving here in the UK and the majority of people said it was not too early! Yay! So if you are like me I have rounded up some great festive (and affordable) options while we wait for it to be close enough to the holidays to get a real tree so it won’t die before December 25th!

Happy shopping with this hostess gift guide!

Michelle says
Hmmm yummy, I just want to snuggle up in that pom pom blanket right now.
I am sure that my friends do not have anything like this and will think of me when they are snuggling.
Out of the box hostess gift
Missy says
Going to scoop up a set of these Monogrammed Decorative Golden Brown Embroidered Kitchen Towels for each of my sisters and my mom, you can never have enough kitchen towels and they will spruce up any kitchen.
Plus who doesn’t love monogramed items and they certainly don’t have a set of these already!
Charlene says
I can’t believe how reasonable those Meri Meri Festive Motif Set of 8 Side Plates for $8 were and I just went to order them and they are sold out. No surprise but they are so cute and something that most people would not buy for themselves.
Will look at a few of the other options as I always need fresh ideas.
Bruce says
Great choices…sending to my girlfriend now as she always needs help picking out original gifts.
