Beyond the Bottle: The Best Hostess Gifts That Aren’t Wine

Beyond the Bottle: The Best Hostess Gifts That Aren’t Wine

You’ve got the invite, you’ve picked out your outfit, and now it’s time for the hardest part: the hostess gift. While a bottle of wine might be the no-brainer option, why not bring something that stands out a little more? Something they’ll actually use and remember long after the last guest has left?

Here are five thoughtful, feel-good gifts that will definitely earn you the “best guest ever” award.

1. A Luxurious Sink Set

Skip the boring dish soap and treat your host to our Sink Set—a beautifully curated duo featuring our Liquid Foaming Soap and Ultra Hydration Lotion in your choice of scent. It’s the kind of everyday luxury that turns washing hands into a little moment of calm. Bonus points: It comes gift-ready, no wrapping necessary!

 2. A Classic Candle & Fancy Matches Set

Candles are a classic for a reason—but a truly good one makes all the difference. Our Classic Candles are hand-poured, clean-burning, and available in warm, comforting scents like Herbal Tea and Eucalyptus Mint. Pair it with a cute jar of matches or a Candle Care Set and you’ve got a cozy gift that’ll instantly warm up any space.

3. A Nourishing Hand Care Set

For a gift that feels like a spa day in a box, our Hand Care Set is a total win. It includes our gentle Manicure Scrub, ultra-hydrating Hand Cream, a cuticle balm, and even a nail brush—all wrapped up and ready to give. It’s perfect for hardworking hosts who deserve a little pampering after party cleanup.

4. A Fizzy Set of Bubble Bath Bombs

If your host loves baths (and who doesn’t?), gift them our Bubble Bath Bombs. These fizzy little orbs are handcrafted with nourishing oils and come in a variety of scents that soothe, energize, or just smell downright delicious. Pop a few in a gift bag and you’ve got an instant “treat yourself” experience.

5. A Wax Warmer & Wax Snap Set

Looking for something totally unique? Our Wax Warmers paired with our best-selling Wax Snaps are a flameless, fun, and fragrant way to fill any room with cozy vibes. They come in fun scents like “Revive” and “Beach Bum,” and they're a lovely gift for hosts who love a great-smelling home (without the worry of an open flame).

The best hostess gifts are thoughtful, useful, and just a little indulgent—and that’s exactly what these goodies offer. Whether your host is a candle lover, a bath enthusiast, or someone who just appreciates a beautifully-scented home, these gifts show you went the extra mile.

So, next time you're tempted to grab that same old bottle of wine… don’t. Try one of these thoughtful, natural alternatives instead. Trust me—they’ll be glad you did.
