Gift Guide: 10 Summer Hostess Gifts - Remodelista
As Independence Day festivities wind down and summer socializing gears up, it’s time to brush up on visitor etiquette.
Sarah recommends ceramics from Eric Vandermolen, a Remodelista Market vendor.
Alexa proffers hand-printed linen tea towels with hot-pink trim by Piano Nobile, a Remodelista Market vendor; the Ledger Print is $30.
An easy-to-care-for-houseplant repotted in a planter of your choice marks friendship and the passage of time as it continues to grow over the years.
Recently, I was the happy recipient of the drought-resistant Senecio Mandraliscae from Isabelle Palmer, aka The Balcony Gardener (she’s also one of our guest judges for the Gardenista Considered Design Awards).
Margot’s guest policy is to bring a good-quality knife so that she can help with cooking detail. For more options, see 10 Easy Pieces: Editors’ Favorite Chef Knives.
Izabella likes the Concentric Soap Dish because its both attractive and practical–inner rings keep the soap elevated and dry; $36 from Provisions.
Francesca is a fan of the Noaway Countertop Compost Bin made of walnut and nice looking enough to sit in full view; $129 from Provisions.
Julie likes to bring a Salt Bowl by Mud Australia ($16 from Max and Moritz), along with a jar of Wellfleet Sea Salt ($8 for three ounces).
Jane presents her hosts with a Wood Citrus Squeezer accompanied by the promise of fresh OJ in the morning, in the hopes that she’ll be rewarded with fresh mojitos in the evening; $20 from Alessi.
Michelle arrives armed with a magnum (or more) of AIX Rosé 2013 Coteaux d’Aix en Provence; $32.95 per bottle or $197.70 per case.
Justine brings her hosts/hostesses a Waxed Canvas Market Bag for farmer’s market excursions. The Perfect Picnic Basket is a great gift for the outdoorsy host; also see 10 Easy Pieces: Canvas Storage Containers for practical gift ideas.
