Holiday Gift Guide 2018: Beyond the Scented Candle—7 House Gifts for the Host/ess - Remodelista
Am I the only one who thinks scented candles are not ideal as host/hostess gifts?
Francis M. Heirloom Linen Tea Towel
Stealth luxury in the form of a tea towel: a set of three heirloom-worthy Francis M. Linen Tea Towels is $107.42 from Francis M., a tiny design studio on Clare Island, in the wilds of West Mayo, Ireland.
Daphnis and Chloe Herbs
Daphnis and Chloe was established in a small workshop under the Acropolis Hill of Athens in 2013; inspired by the Mediterranean’s rural traditions, the founders provide professional chefs and home cooks with alluring culinary herbs and spices.
Full Circle Wool Sponges
For the zero waster: A set of two natural Full Circle Wool Sponges is $12 from Alder & Co. (Side note: my favorite house gift ever came from Tricia Rose of Rough Linen; a monochromatic sponge from Australian brand Barkley Basics.)
A box of Collection L’Article Matches, designed by Le Studio Be-Pôles, a multi-disciplinary agency based in Paris and New York, contains 150 matches made from poplar wood, with red, white, and blue heads; $20 from Ode to Things.
Collection L’Article Matches
Made in England, a set of six Marbled Christmas Crackers are filled with small gifts and a traditional paper crown and joke; $65 from March.
British Christmas Crackers
Elegant Dome and Sphere Wine Toppers from Fort Standard are $60 each (about the price of a Diptych candle).
Fort Standard Wine Stoppers
Muuto Salad Servers
One of my favorite hostess gifts ever: a pair of beech wood Muuto Salad Servers; $35 from the Scandinavian Design Center.
