Today’s gift guide is for anyone who loves to host! All the gifts on this list are perfect for that loved one who is always hosting the dinner party, watch party, or backyard BBQ. If you know someone who finds joy in entertaining and is always inviting others over to show off their bartending skills, keep reading for my gift ideas for the host!
Gift Ideas for the Host
Charcuterie Board Set – $66
If there’s anyone who will appreciate a good charcuterie board, it’s the friend who loves hosting! This one comes with everything they’ll need to create and serve the perfect charcuterie board.
Ooni Pizza Oven – $300
If you’re looking to treat your favorite host to an extra special gift, splurge on the Ooni Pizza Oven! This model uses high-heat to cook Neapolitan wood-fired, stone-baked pizza in 60 seconds flat – and it only weighs 27 pounds, so it’s easy to pack along for outdoor trips.
Garlic Dill Pickles – $5
Pair a few yummy charcuterie items with a charcuterie board or cheese knives for a fun gift that any host would love! I’m obsessed with these pickles that are locally made here in Frederick.
Absorbent Coasters – $16
These coasters are genius – they’re made of an absorbent stone that absorbs water within 5-10 seconds, and at 4 inches wide they’re easily big enough to accommodate a glass of any size.
Coupe Cocktail Glasses Set – $30
Help them level up their home bartender game with some beautiful cocktail glasses! I just adore the ribbed detail on these coupe cocktail glasses – they’d instantly elevate any drink.
Personalized Doormat – $18
My best friend got us a personalized doormat when we bought our house and I thought it was the cutest gift! They’ll love knowing this was made specifically for them, and their guests will love knowing that they’re definitely at the right house before they even ring the bell.
Wood Serving Bowl – $25
You can never go wrong with a quality serving bowl. This one is made of the prettiest acacia wood and it’s perfect for tossing a large salad or serving a big bowl of pasta. We use this as our salad bowl and it’s held up great!
Crosley Turntable – $100
I’m a firm believer that music is one of the most important elements of every gathering. There’s something about an old-fashioned record player that feels nostalgic and cozy. This one is beautiful to look at and even better, it can play records but also has Bluetooth streaming capabilities, so they’ll be able to seamlessly switch back and forth between their favorite records and their favorite Spotify playlist.
Gin & Tonic Infusion Kit – $34
If you know someone who loves hosting but probably already owns everything they could possibly need, gift them a fun cocktail infusion kit! This one is sold by a small business here in Frederick and includes everything you need to make 8 to 16 craft cocktails. Just fill it with your favorite spirit, refrigerate for 3 days, and enjoy!
Monopoly Deal – $5
Every good host has a stash of games! Our friends introduced us to this game over the summer and we were hooked instantly. I promise this is nothing like regular Monopoly! It moves at a much faster pace and it’s so fun for anyone who’s a little competitive.
3-Part Server – $27
This little server is perfect for serving little snacks like olives, pickles, and mixed nuts, and it’s neutral enough that it will go with any other serving dishes they already have.
Home Bar Gift Box – $54
This beautifully packaged gift box includes a pair of thick-walled old fashioned glasses, a chambray linen kitchen towel, and a leather tassel with polished nickel bottle opener. It’s the perfect gift for someone who loves to show off their home bar!
Cheese Knife Set – $38
Fancy cheese knives are one of those things that they might feel silly splurging on themselves, but they’d love to receive as a gift! These ones have the prettiest brass finish, and the rattan handles make them feel a little more special.
Stoneware Appetizer Plate Set – $48
Appetizer plates are ideal for hosting and this set is both beautiful and practical. The blue-green color makes them feel unique, and they’re dishwasher and microwave safe. We’ve had these plates for about six months and they’ve held up great!
“Host” Coffee Table Book – $35
This book is like a hybrid between a coffee table book and a cookbook – the authors share simple but delicious recipes for food and cocktails alongside tips for hosting. I love that it’s broken down by season, and there are tons of great appetizer recipes that would be perfect for any gathering.
