Shopping: 2018 Gift Guide, Hostess

Everyone loves a party, particularity during the holiday season, but no one wants to throw the party.

OK, what we mean to say is that most people don't like to do the planning, you included. But can we get an amen for that one friend who, year after year, we can rely on to bang out the whole thing flawlessly? Hey, it takes a lot of work to make a memorable evening come to life! There's the shopping, the inviting, the decorating, the baking and not to mention the pressure to make sure all the guests enjoy themselves day of.

Basically what we're saying is: Whatever you do, don't show up empty handed. For the hostess with the mostest here are 10 gifts we're all about.

Peace Sign Table Décor
