Amidst the season’s surge in festive soirees, the hostesses emerge from the sea of party-goers as they flex their entertaining muscles in a manner pleasing to all. As the rest of us sip champagne wistfully beneath the mistletoe, they’re the ones setting the perfect tablescape, curating your new favorite playlist, or arranging a photo-worthy snack board. So you don’t have to show up empty-handed, we’ve curated a list of items they’re bound to appreciate. From cowboy boot candlestick holders for the eclectic in nature to bordered placemats for those who gravitate towards the traditional, we’ve found something for every hostess—show them a little love.
