Gifts for the Deserving Hostess, Pt. 5

Welcome to the wonderful world of tea towels! Your hostess will appreciate the fact that these are anything but the plain jane variety found at your local superstore. And you can rest easy knowing that you didn't break the bank on a spiffy gift.

Lots of lovely picture frame options out there, folks. If you've got an embarrassing photo of the hostess, all the better. Just kidding. 

Keep it classy when someone is feeding you and providing you with intoxicating beverages. Here are six ways to do it:

Gifts for the Deserving Hostess, Pt. 3

You can't go wrong with candle holders. Another great inexpensive gift that can easily be matched to your hostess' decor. And do her a favor -- bring the matching candles so she won't have to make a special trip to complete your gift. But avoid the smelly stuff. A vanilla factory may be heaven to you, but may make your hostess yack. I'm just saying.

Gifts for the Deserving Hostess, Pt. 2

I've always considered aprons to be a tad on the dowdy side, but it tends to be a popular choice for hostess gifts. A quick web search has completely proven me wrong – there are so many cool aprons out there! I would even wear some of these out of doors if it were socially acceptable. Perhaps I can start a new trend. In the meantime, check out these cuties:

Gifts for the Wino

When I saw these, I totally did a Stacy London and said, "SHUT UP!"

And bear in mind, I hadn't even checked the price yet. I'm a huge fan of wine glasses, especially those that may fall in the "quirky" category. These are perfect, and prepare to faint when I tell you they are a mere TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS apiece. Drink your sorrows away in high style for less than a Value Meal! (Wine is better for you anyway. Even the cheap stuff.)

The Wedding of the Century

Unfortunately, I was not the chosen stationer for the Martin/Bernard wedding, but I still felt it necessary to share their lovely save the date.  

The groom has also set up a great website where you can follow the couple as they make preparations for this most important day. I wonder if Jim and Pam will set one up, too?
