🎁 The Practical Host’s Gift Guide (Thoughtful, Useful, Lovely)
|
We are halfway through the month, y'all! That "So long 2025!" is so close! There’s something extra special about gifting for the home. These are the gifts that get used. Loved. Passed around the table. The kind that quietly says, I see you. I appreciate you. I’m grateful for the way you gather people. This guide is for the hosts, the helpers, the last-minute invite acceptors, and the ones who always make room at their table. Now, these couple of items are quite silly, but they will bring so much joy. Marks & Spencer, an iconic British market, has some items at Target. I purchased this tin, that's a REAL-LIVE clock! This silly, yet oh-so-practical tin is bringing so much joy. Fun Fact: I hate clocks... Like, Hook hates a clock style of hating them. This one does "tick tock tick tock," but it's not too loud. I got this one for my nieces, because how fun is this little projection onto the wall?! And it plays music?! Sold. Okay, moving on to more practical gifts! If you've got a friend who loves hosting and loves Espresso Martinis, snag this box of Luxe Mixer Cubes. It's a little something that makes every home bar *extra* special! I love gifting a little "party sparkle!" This large set of unscented tea lights is the "oh-so-practical" gift for every host. I know I love having an abundance of unscented tea lights at the ready. Is this a fun gift? I mean, it depends on who you ask! I think it's a super fun gift. Most hosts would probably agree! More Hostess Gift Ideas you should scroll through! If you still have one or two names left on your list, I hope this guide makes it feel simple and even a little fun. And if gifting feels heavy this year, let yourself offer kindness in quieter ways too. Set a date with a few friends for a cozy dinner at home in January. Take a little errand trip with a pal and enjoy checking off your list with company. It doesn't have to be grand to make someone feel cherished! With warmth and a wrapped ribbon of calm, |

Happy Wednesday, Sweet Friends! As I was walking into my mom's Christmas choir concert on Sunday evening, I was greeted by a sweet friend. As she was hugging me, she said, "JM and I keep saying to each other, 'It's just a day!'" I said this over and over in November, but it's still ringing true: it's just a day. December is always packed full of every get-together, every tradition, every "every" ever. December joy doesn’t have to be loud. It doesn’t have to sparkle from every corner or arrive...
