As the holiday season approaches, many of us reach for the familiar bottle of wine to bring to our hosts. While a classic choice, why not shake things up this year with something a bit more unique? Here are five thoughtful and delightful holiday hostess gifts under $35 that go beyond the ordinary, adding a special touch to your gesture of appreciation. From cozy candles to artisanal treats, these gifts are sure to bring joy and a touch of festivity to any holiday gathering:
1. Gourmet Hot Chocolate Mix
Opt for a rich, artisanal hot chocolate mix or a set of flavored hot chocolate powders, some of which come with marshmallows or peppermint sticks. It’s perfect for cozy winter nights and makes a thoughtful, indulgent gift. Check out specialty food stores, Williams Sonoma, or online shops like Etsy for unique selections.
2. Scented Candle
One of my favorite holiday scents is the Thymes Frasier Fir scented candle. With its fresh, crisp aroma of pine and cedar, it brings the essence of a winter forest into your home. This high-quality candle adds a cozy and festive touch to any space. You can find it on Amazon or directly from Thymes’ official website.
3. Artisanal Jam or Preserves
Gourmet jam, preserves, or honey can be a delightful gift, especially if it features unique flavors or is locally made. It’s a tasty treat that can be enjoyed during holiday breakfasts or as a complement to cheese and charcuterie. Check specialty food stores, farmer’s markets, or Williams Sonoma for high-quality options.
4. Blooming Amaryllis
A blooming amaryllis is a stunning and sophisticated gift that brings vibrant holiday cheer. With its large, dramatic flowers in shades of red, white, or pink, it adds an elegant touch to any home decor. The full bloom of the amaryllis can brighten up any room and serve as a beautiful centerpiece for the holiday season. You can find blooming amaryllis at local florists, garden centers, or online from retailers like Harry & David or Bloom & Wild.
5. Gourmet Chocolate Box
A box of chocolates is a classic and indulgent gift that is always a hit. For a truly delicious option, consider the creamy deliciousness of Frango Chocolates, a holiday cult favorite that are smooth and melt in your mouth. You can find these delectable chocolates at Macy’s.
