With Thanksgiving around the corner (doesn’t everyone love a holiday centered around eating!? I know I do), it’s time to think about stocking up on a few hostess gifts for the parties and get togethers that are going to fill the weeks ahead.

In my case, I usually don’t think about hostess gifts until the day of the event – thinking, “oh wait! I need to bring something!” Which is why my go-to is often a nice bottle of wine or an orchid (still great gifts!). BUT, I wanted to round out some of my favorite picks that I know I would like to receive, and they’re all under $50.

I think two of the best and most simple gifts are candles and some flowers in a pretty vase that can be repurposed. I love new flower vases – I use them all of the time!

AND it must be said that Shopbop is having a surprise sale that’s three days only. You can get up to 40% off select styles here, so see if that off the shoulder dress or scarf you’ve been eyeing has been marked down.

Thanks so much for reading! And if you have given or received a great hostess gift in the past, I’d love to hear! XO –
