It's the most wonderful time of the year...except for the stress of figuring out what to buy for each and every person on your list. Well, we've got a few suggestions to help with gifts for some of your favorite people: the Hostess, the Cook, the Design Lover, the Bartender, and the Homebody. Really though, our ideas aren't just limited to these five categories, hostess gifts can apply to teachers, bartender gifts might work for your Dad, and homebody gifts for your daughter who just got her first apartment.
Whoever you're buying for, we hope this takes a little stress out of your holiday season and, in exchange, gives you a bit more quality time with Jude Law in The Holiday ;).
They've been the consummate host and kept you fed, watered, and entertained. Show your appreciation with a little something special that seals the deal for a return visit.
Whether your beloved cook is as proficient as Julia Child or as hapless as the Swedish Chef, these ideas will show them that the secret ingredient in your gift is love.
We all have that one person in our life that strikes fear in our hearts when it comes time to buy them a gift. Knock their cashmere socks off with a few of our favorite things and when they look at you, surprised, just shrug and in your very best Elle Woods voice say, "What, like it was hard?"
They're the only people who don't hesitate to make a cocktail requiring a simple syrup and muddling, so why not make sure they have everything they need to get the job done. Because when the bartender's happy, we all win.
Is this pretty much a gift guide for me? Yes, yes it is. Because leaving your house is highly overrated.
