hostess with the mostess gift idea

over the weekend, i received the happiest package from FAIR treasure filled to the brim with the best fair trade goodies. as i write this i am sporting those earrings & that cushion cover is already hugging a thrifted pillow on my church pew. it was love at first sight, y'all. 

one product i received from FAIR treasures was this amazing cotton apron.

side note:  i love that you can shop for items that you absolutely love within the FAIR treasure shop or simply purchase a subscription. this allows you to budget accordingly, which as you know, is my favorite. the subscription would make the best gift this holiday season!

as soon as i saw this little apron, i was inspired to create a hostess with the mostess gift idea just for you!

 i love attending parties during the holiday season & it's always so nice to come with a little something as a thank you.  i wanted to create a gift that would allow the hostess to host future parties with ease. 

i included a mrs. meyer's pine candle, the nora cotton print apron, anthropologie napkins (from the clearance section!), burlap bunting, happy paper straws & this wonderful thrifted metal caddy. 

i also included this clearanced jar from anthro in the basket with a little hot cocoa mix inside. here's a wonderful homemade hot cocoa recipe. you could even include a recipe card in your hostess basket with the cocoa! 

total cost: $34- great price point for those dear friends in your life who open their doors regularly!

if you've been around these parts for any time at all, you know i love a fun, festive tag. i added a tag from katygirl designs' shop (i love these tags & use them regularly during the holiday season) along with a homemade baker's twine tassel & homemade kraft tag. 

i tied the goodies with ribbon & packed them into my little metal caddy. i cannot wait to gift this at our next holiday party!

what sort of goodies do you gift to your hostess friends during the holiday season? please share!

love,

natalie
