TOP HOLIDAY HOSTING GIFTS THAT WILL GET YOU INVITED BACK

From stylish serving trays to mood-setting candles, these picks are the perfect way to toast a host.

Sure, your presence is a gift, but let's be real: the hosts in our lives deserve a lot more than a quick “thanks for having us” at the door. They're the arrangers of ambiance, keepers of the charcuterie board, and the ones who somehow make a five-course meal look effortless—and that's no easy task. This holiday season, we inspire you to think beyond that same bottle of bubbly you always bring, and give them something that outlasts the short duration of the party.

From a display-worthy soap set from Homecourt (founded by the ultimate clean queen, Courteney Cox) to embroidered napkins that are anything but ordinary, we rounded up the top gifts that will guarantee your spot on the guest list for years to come.
