Sometimes it can be hard to buy a hostess gift, especially if you don’t know the host/hostess that well. Here are a selection of perfect holiday hostess gifts that guarantee you’ll be invited over again!

Nordstrom Shopping Bag Ornament. A shopping bag ornament from her favorite store is a gift she’s sure to appreciate. Choose Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s or another one of her favorites. Free shipping and free returns. $24

Bloomingdale’s Brown Bag Ornament. Free shipping and free returns. $20

Diptyque Tuberose Scented Mini Candle. Diptyque candles make my house smell fabulous and last for hours and hours and hours. These mini candles will burn for 30 hours and come in lots of other fragrances. Free shipping and returns. $30

Monogram Cheese Board. This gift is part functional, part personal and all fabulous. I actually gave this cheeseboard as a gift this weekend. You could even pair it with some cheese and/or wine for an extra special gift. $28

Assouline Vintage Cocktails. The book publisher Assouline makes gorgeous and fascinating books that make great gifts. This one explores the lost art of making cocktails and has fun recipes including Gin Fizz, French 75 (my fave!), Brandy Alexander, Singapore Sling, Sidecar, Kir Royal and more. $34

Jo Malone Linen Spray. If this is too pricey for a hostess gift, it makes a great holiday gift too. I looooove going to bed in scented sheets, but perfume can stain. This linen spray is a great alternative! $60
