It’s said that hosting is one of the kindest things a person can do. And that’s just in a normal year.
This year brings a whole new set of challenges for Hosts. Between juggling the social distancing, zero hand contact, outdoor set ups (where possible) and proper food preparations, these people aren’t just Hosts, they’re Heros.
So in this year of continuation-of-the-crazy, let them know you appreciate all that they are doing to bring us together while keeping us safe!
Our Editors have pulled together fifteen wonderful items your Host is sure to love. This year we focused on dividing our list by price points, to better help pinpoint cost items that match with your situation. Enjoy!

Wolfermans Bakery, English Walnut & Apple Cinnamon Povitica Duo $34.99

Creative Irish Gifts, Celtic Blend Coffee & Tin $19.99

Irish coffee is known for being robust, and this Celtic Blend Coffee Tin contains some of the best beans from family-owned Brady’s Coffee Company based in County Wicklow, Ireland.

PaddyWax, Impressions Candles $20 (each)
For the Host who appreciates the artsian gift. PaddyWax’s Impressions candle collection has a whole series of “hand”some expressions and each candle has it’s own scent. Our personal fav is the “Love Ya” (see above in pink) with a masterful mix of vanilla and tobacco, however there are four others to choose from and each candle is hand poured.
Perpetual Kid, Good Chemistry Cream & Sugar Set $22.99
A fun gift for the drink lover who is very measure specific. Flask and jar are made of real Borosilicate lab glass with absolute measurements listed on the side. Not just for coffee fixing, they can serve equally well as measuring cups for all sorts of solids and liquids.
