I’ve always waited until after Thanksgiving to decorate for the holidays, but with 2020 being such a tough year, I decided to jump into all things holiday a little early.
Over the weekend I did some online holiday shopping and had to create this Hostess Gift Guide Under $40 for you. I’ve purchased almost every single one of these items (shhh, don’t tell my family).
- Puzzle – puzzles are THE item of the pandemic and the fact that this one is double-sided and features Gray Malin’s artwork is a win-win. Take me to Italy, STAT.
- Pizza cutter – this is the chicest pizza cutter I’ve ever seen! It also comes in a leopard version.
- Trivet – the minimal Scandanavian vibe of this trivet is so rad. It would make a great addition to any countertop (comes in three colors).
- Spice trio – I read an article on the Founder of this spice company and how she’s revolutionizing the game of modern cooking. I just had to support this boss babe.
- Candle – I recently learned that how well a candle permeates a room is called throw. The reviews for this one and its even throw are fantastic. Plus it’s clean-burning and comes in multiple scents.
- Cacao turmeric and whisk – I shared my love of this turmeric powder to combat inflammation. The cacao flavor is so perfect for the holidays. Add this matcha whisk to it for the perfect gift set.
- Olive oil and breadsticks – as a Greek girl, I immediately fell for the cute packaging of this Yiayia & Friends olive oil. Add a set of breadsticks for a yummy hostess treat.
- Food storage bags – for any mom or environmentally friendly gal, these storage bags are a must. They come in 3 sizes and 5 colors. Made from non-toxic material, they are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe.
- Temporary tattoos – I’m a sucker for cute things and these whimsical temporary tattoos are so fun. They also have an edgier set of lightning bolts, skulls and hearts.
