Gift Giving Series//Mind Your Manners

The holidays are right around the corner and with that comes gift giving. I'm guilty of scrambling around at the last minute to find that perfect gift that's enjoyable yet different. I later find myself coming across great ideas after it's too late. So, I thought it would be fun (and helpful) to do a "Gift Giving Series here on the blog." Each week I will be sharing a gift giving guide tailored to specific occasions from now through the holidays. Hopefully the suggestions will inspire others to get a head  start...including myself.

The house has been cleaned from top to bottom, places have been set at the table, and  savory scents are lingering in the kitchen...the stage has been set for the perfect dinner party and you're invited! How will you thank the hostess, or maybe a family member who has prepared a wonderful Thanksgiving meal?!?!

Below are some gift giving ideas for the hostess with the mostess.

1. Kate Spade: Two of a Kind 2 Piece Bar Set
This is a great gift for the couple in the kitchen.

2. Crate & Barrel: Set of 4 Blanco Sandstone Coasters
Everyone can use a set of coasters, and these are the perfect neutral color.

3. Pure Home: Words Cheese Knives Set
Who wouldn't love a set of cheese knives, the French wording is just a bonus!

4. Belk: Mud Pie Santa Claus Crab Tea Towel
A cute mix of coastal and holiday on a tea towel.

5.  Crate & Barrel: Butcher Salt
Gourmet salts make cooking so much more fun.

6. Anthropologie: Boulangerie Jar Oatmeal Cookie
Just because you don't have time to bake cookies, doesn't mean your house can't smell like them.

7.  King Bean Coffee: Sullivan's Blend
Coffee....enough said.

8. Emily McCarthy: "Cheers" Holiday Cocktail Napkins
Cocktail napkins never get old, especially if they are festive.
