Hostess Gift Picks from High on the Tide

This week I decided to call on some of my favorite bloggers to give you (and me) some great ideas for Hostess Gifts. There are so many occasions on which you might need to pick up a fabulous (yet relatively inexpensive) gift for a friend...maybe your friend is hosting a party in your honor...or perhaps a friend has bought her first home....or maybe you need to bring a "little something" for your boyfriend's parents the first time you meet them...whatever it may be, I'm positive my guest bloggers this week will give you lots of great inspiration!! So, lets get started with my friend Emily's picks....
.
I am thrilled to be guest blogging on So.Chic! Sidney always includes the most beautiful images so I hope I do not disappoint! :)


Sid has asked me to share some of my favorite Hostess gifts. When buying in mutiples (per several hosts for sometimes several showers) it adds up fast so I am aiming for around $25 or less! Some online options include:

Monogrammed Linen Hand Towel - $24 at A Slice of Life
.

.

Most likely, you may also be able to find these at your local speciality gift store.
..

Personalized Wine Coaster - $24 Marye-Kelley



Engraved 3 Initial Vase - $18 Favors & Gifts


These even make great bridesmaid gifts... they can put their bouquets in them post-wedding!


And if you are in the Birmingham area, you need to check out Weddings Etc. They do not have a website but they have wonderful gifts and invitations to choose from in their store. They are located at 2843 18th Street South Homewood, AL 35209.

I used their personalized stemless wine and highball glasses for couples shower hostess gifts. When I ordered them from Wedding Etc. (this was 2 years ago) they were a set of 4 stemless wine for around $20 and $25 for the highball set.

I love personalized gifts... and I think the so chic hostess(es) will too!
