Hostess gifts

This is the time of year when we get together with our friends and family to celebrate the holidays. Hostesses put many hours into preparing meals to honour the occasion. As a guest, it is traditional to give your hostess a small gift of appreciation.

This is definitely a tradition in France. Whenever we are invited to a “soiree” we always take a gift for the hostess to express our appreciation.

I find that candles, diffusers and “posh” chocolates are always acceptable.

If you are spending this time quietly with family many of these gifts are good choices for Christmas.

DETAILS OF ABOVE: Gilt pomander candle // Multi colour earrings // Sparkling candy holiday box // Mini candle set // Set of confetti wine glasses // Reed diffuser duo // Plaid square scarf // Plush throw

What do you like to give and receive during this season of goodwill?

WISHING ALL MY AMERICAN READERS A VERY HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  • Beautiful gift ideas, Josephine! So elegant. I’ll be visiting York next week as I am exploring my genetic ancestry in that area of England. It’s a long way from Texas, but I’m very excited, as I know Yorkshire is Beautiful and steeped in history. I remember you spent some time there last spring.

    • Hi Marguerite

      I am sure you will enjoy your trip to Yorkshire. You might like to check out my post on York Visit to York and don’t forget to visit Castle Howard which is not too far away. It is magnificent.
