WHAT TO GIFT: THE HOST!

gifts soooo good they'll invite you back

i proudly identify as a professional gift giver — self-proclaimed, but honestly, it’s the one compliment I get consistently and with passion. gifting is my sport.

so when it comes to hostess or post-stay gifts, I always ask myself: what’s something suuuuper thoughtful or unexpected thing I can give that isn’t just another bouquet of flowers? what actually happened during the stay that I can turn into a gift? was there a running joke? did something break that needs replacing? did someone wet the bed? these little moments are gold — they’re what make a gift feel personal, funny, and memorable.

to kickstart the memory jog and get the wheels turning, I present: my ultimate hostess gift guide. fair warning — this one’s a bit more “standard” (because I wasn’t there cough cough), but it’s a great starting point. hopefully it becomes your go-to when you want to say thanks and be remembered!!!
