The 10 Best Gifts For Hosts Who Have (Almost) Everything

Buying a gift for the person who always hosts the hangs can be a tough order. After all, most people who are comfortable with having people over are the types to curate their housewares and have thoughts about silverware and glassware.

But the good news is—and I can confirm this, as someone who hosts about once a week—there is literally no end to the amount of serving trays, bowls, and surprise-and-delight items that a host can fit in their lives (and cabinets). Here’s some that the host in your life will joyfully add to their collection.

Fish Bottle Carafe, $85

The minute they put this fishy water container on their dinner table, it’ll be the talk of the table. It’s from the brain of Milanese Alessandra Baldereschi, and the colored borosilicate glass makes it gorgeous enough to leave out when company’s not over, too.

Saturn Glassware, $50

Clear glassware is great, but a seasoned host will see the value in this set of four colorful versions: guests won’t get their wine receptacles confused after a few glasses. Not to mention that they add an extra punch to neutral linens.

Schoolhouse x Rachel Murray Windmill Cotton Quilt, $299

‘Tis the season for overnight guests. Help hosts get their space ready with a cozy collaboration with Schoolhouse and Portland-based painter Rachel Murray. It’s made from 100% cotton that will help them feel toasty, even on the chilliest nights.

Mix-and-Match Chroma Napkins, $130

At a dinner party, this set of six linen napkins made from deadstock fabric will always set a chicer (and more earth-friendly) scene than disposable ones. Plus, the contrast border adds a stylish touch that will impress even the most finicky guests.

Bird Lemon Juicers, $8

Adorn a host’s bar cart with a set of two of these little stainless steel birdies that do a very important job: squeeze lemon or lime slices into cocktails or onto appetizers. (Bonus: They keeps fingers off the citrus.)

Cheeky Gold Rush Cocktail Kit, $19

Bring this cocktail kit to your next party, and you’ll definitely be invited back. Together with bourbon, the kit’s lemon juice and honey syrup make a Gold Rush cocktail, and they look cute on a bar cart to boot.

Aarke Carbonator III, $250

There’s nothing worse than running out of seltzer during a cocktail party, but with this handsome gadget, you’ll never again have to make a corner store run mid-celebration. It even comes with a CO2 canister that gives 60 liters of water the bubbly treatment.

Mini Crumb Catcher, $148

The Gohar sisters are always churning out creative dinner party products, and this silver-coated brass scraper and dustpan set make cleaning up post-meal an absolute joy. Just watch as guests fight over who gets to clean the table.

Flamingo Estate Ed Ruscha Honey, $75

Talk about a work of art: This limited-edition jar of honey comes directly from the bees surrounding artist Ed Rucha’s Los Angeles home and displays his own drawing on the label.

Dansk Købenstyle Large Baker, $135

Every seasoned hostess (or maybe it’s just me) knows that the key to a great dinner party is making one big dish that can serve a crowd. Enter: Dansk’s Købenstyle enamel-coated baker, which can hold a casserole or dessert, and go from oven to table.
