It’s that time of year when friends and family invite us into their homes to celebrate

the season.  And if your mother “taught you right”, you don’t show up empty-handed. 

So what to buy that special host or hostess?  Your gift doesn't have to be expensive,

but it should be thoughtful, attractive, and well, something the person might actually want. 

So to ease your mind and your wallet, Luxe & Lucid has hand-picked ten hip, holiday

hostess gifts below.  You’re sure to be a hit, so enjoy yourself and party on!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coffee table books are a no-brainer.  Both beautiful and meaningful.

Rizzoli publishes some of the best.

 

 

 

 

The household item no one knows they need, but no one should live without – the candle snuffer. 

When not in use, this one from Match is like table art.

 

 

 

 

 

I personally believe you can never have too many table linens.

Who wouldn’t want a set of Sferra’s linen napkins designed by Kelly Wearstler?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Which leads me to my next obsession … napkin rings.

The latest designs are like jewelry and are sure to delight a glamorous hostess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A cashmere blanket is the perfect cold-weather gift, especially if you’re an overnight guest.

I love the gorgeous hues above from Williams-Sonoma Home.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These fold-up leather slippers are stylish, useful and on sale for less than $35!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some of us spend more time at our desks than anywhere else, even our homes.

Why not give that stylish man you know a desktop calendar that will brighten up his desk and his day?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Is it just me or is cheese beautiful?  I love the colors, the smells, the packaging.

A selection of French cheeses from Dean & Deluca for the foodie in your group.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m a big fan of Claus Porto liquid soap and have it at home and in my office.

I mean seriously, could this soap get any better looking?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, loves candles.

Seda France's lovely little pagoda boxes make them the perfect pre-packaged gift!

 

 

 

 

HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM LUXE & LUCID!
