$50 Gift Ideas for The Hostess

When a friend hosts dinner parties or cocktail hours for you and your circle, be sure to thank him or her with a gift. Many times, people who entertain love to receive gifts that make entertaining easier, more natural or inclusive of even more guests. You don't have to go crazy. Gifts under $50 are right on the mark for a hostess gift.

• Select something special like a sustainably sourced wooden cheese board with an initial on it.
• A decanter set with two rocks glasses is a beautiful gesture that lets your host wind down with his or her partner after the party.
• Try a stylish snack bowl that can mix-and-match with other serveware at a casual affair. Pick one that makes a design statement but has easy care instructions.

Best Gifts Under $50 for Housewarmings

A housewarming is another obvious opportunity to shower friends with gifts. Depending on your relationship to the new homeowner, you might choose something significant like a high-end coffee maker or other small electrics. For most people, though, gifts under $50 show you're proud and happy for them.

• Everyone loves throws. Choose one made of extra-soft material and adorned with something unique, like pom poms. Neutral colors work best so your friend can place his or her new throw anywhere.
• Faux fur pillows are trending in stylish homes everywhere. With new fabrications and gentle, dreamy colorways like chalky white or pale gray, the new faux fur is upscale and ultimately inviting.
• You can never have too many candles and the same goes for your friends. Select delightful candles, candle holders, votive holders and other illuminated gifts.

Beautiful Self-Care Gifts under $50

For all occasions, self-care gifts are wonderful. Your friends and family appreciate the time to focus inward and rejuvenate when you share presents like luxurious sleep masks, essential oil kits or silky hand soaps with monograms. Take care of your loved ones so they can take care of themselves--and maybe buy yourself a gift while you're at it.
