25 Hostess Gifts under $25 That Will Make Them Want You To Come Back

Who doesn’t like getting gifts?

My mom always taught me when I was growing up that you should never show up to a party empty handed. That’s something I’ve engrained in my own life. Whether it’s Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner, or just a little get together with friends, I always make sure to have something special for the person that is hosting.

It doesn’t have to be something big - even a small little gift can make someone feel appreciated for their time and effort. Some of my go-to items include kitchen items, like a small serving platter or a seasonal baking dish, or a self-care item like some lotion, a candle, or a good book.

One of my favorite hostess gifts was for my bridal shower! Even though the day was to celebrate my upcoming wedding, I made sure to bring a gift for my host and hostesses to show my appreciation for all the work they put in for the day. I picked out a beautiful pink candle bowl (similar to this one from Anthropologie). I loved being able to show my appreciation for them!

Here’s a few other gifts (all under $25!) that go a long way to show any future host or hostess your appreciation:
