It’s entertaining season, I’m getting ready with my list of fun host and hostess gift ideas. While candles and wine are always appreciated, I like to add something unique that my host/hostess can serve or enjoy later.

1. Holiday Countdown Calendar
A countdown calendar is a fun alternative to a gift basket – you’ll find options for Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Eve/Day. Just count back to the date of your invitation to make sure they open the last gift before the holiday.
2. Personalized Serving Boards
When we host a big crowd, we always put together a huge charcuterie board, so that guests can gather around our kitchen island while we’re making dinner. I love these serving boards, which you can personalize for a special gift.

And for someone who always forgets the cheese knives (ahem, guilty), take a look at the boards with storage slots for knives. (You can get these in marble too!)
3. Fun Little Kitchen Tools
If you’re looking for something small and affordable, take a look at these fun but practical kitchen tools. Combine a few for a gift basket.
4. Entertaining Food Gifts
When they’re done hosting, they may want to sit down and enjoy a few treats on their own!
5. Gifts For Sports & Outdoors Fans
For your hosts or hostesses who love to be active (or sit on the couch and watch someone else be active), here are some theme gift ideas for sports and outdoor activities.
There you have it, 5 fun host and hostess gift ideas, with lots of choices in each category. Tell me, do you tend to be the host/hostess or the guest?
