The holidays are quickly approaching. While you may have started your Christmas shopping for family gifts, foods, and decorations, you should also pick up a few gifts to give the hosts of holiday parties that you will attend. Wine is the most popular option given to hosts at a party, but other, more unique gift ideas are available. Here are a few unique gift ideas that will definitely show your host you appreciate the invite to the party:

Personalized Items

Grabbing a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates may seem like the easiest option, but buying something personalized will show your host you put a bit more thought into their gift.

Monogrammed glassware is a great option because it is something your host will use for many years to come. A set of wine glasses or mugs for ice tea and beer with the initial of their last name are great gifts.

A set of embroidered towels will also be a nice gesture. A few hand towels with your host's initials can be displayed and used in their bathroom. Also, consider a set of kitchen towels with initials or your host's last name embroidered on the front.

A cutting block or cheese board with your host's initials will also be a functional and memorable gift to give when you arrive at the party.

Lastly, consider a Christmas ornament to commemorate the event. The ornament should include the date of the party and your host's last name. If there is a specific theme for the party, such as "ugly sweaters" or "Fruitcake," try to include it in the ornament design.

Host's Hobbies

Most people have a hobby or something they enjoy. If you are close to your party's host, you should know about their hobbies and interests. If you have not met or spent time with your host, ask mutual friends and acquaintances about the host's personality and interests.

For readers, consider gifting a book that is on a top seller's list. Or, a gift card to a local or online bookstore. If the host enjoys cooking or gardening, a herb garden kit will be a nice gesture. For the sport's enthusiast, a hat, mug, book, or flag for their home or vehicle that represents their favorite time will be perfect.

Adding a bit of personality and creativity to your gift giving this year is important, so consider one or more of these unique ideas to gift your host at the next party. Contact a company like STITCHEDBYLOVE.COM for more information and assistance.
