It’s always fun getting to visit friends and family during the holidays, and it’s even nicer to bring something small along as a thoughtful thank you for hosting. Sometimes it can be hard to decide what to give that they don’t already have or could actually use, but there’s actually an array of great options when it comes to finding a good host gift. We’ll take you through our top picks for this holiday season. 

Bottle of Wine and a Globe Bottle Stopper 

Let’s be real: Most of us would be excited to be greeted by house guests holding a bottle of wine; it’s an ideal go-to gift. Of course, you could always save the wine for another time, but it could also be a great experience to share with your guests. The wine would pair nicely with dinner, or it’d be a great way for everyone to wind down at the end of the night. If you want to step this gift up a notch, throw in aglobe bottle stopper handmade with natural gemstones. Not only is this bottle stopper beautiful, but it’s also very handy and can be used to save a good bottle of wine for another time. This dynamic duo would show them how thankful you are for opening their home to you.  

A Nice Picture Frame 

An attractive picture frame makes a great host gift, as well, since many people love hanging and displaying photos around their homes and offices. Although it may seem like a very simple gift, there are a few ways to make it feel a lot more personal while keeping it reasonable in the budget department. First of all, you’ll want to think about their home or office décor. Try to make sure you get something that would flow with the existing room aesthetic. 

Choosing an appropriate-sized frame is also key. Sometimes people prefer their frames to all be one size, while other people might prefer larger frames with multiple photo slots. You can also add a personal touch by including a photo of you and the host, or your two families together. This gives the picture and frame more sentimental value and will remind them of you whenever they look at it. If you have no idea what their décor looks like, or maybe they’re more tech-savvy, Amazon has some reallytasteful electronic frames that have a simple look to them but allow you to scroll through a multitude of different uploaded pictures. Whatever route you choose to go, a nice picture frame will be a hit with your host!
