Unique Host & Hostess Gifts For Thanksgiving

Unique Host & Hostess Gifts For Thanksgiving

Posted by Catherine Frerker on

I will never say no to a bottle of wine, but sometimes it’s nice as a host to receive something thoughtful that you'll be able to keep and use over and over. To share some appreciation for the entertainers in your life, here are our favorite eco-friendly host and hostess gifts.

Green gingham patterned paperless towels with Planet B Paperless Towels packaging on a light background

Paperless Towels

Mix and match patterns to create a personalized set. Choose from patterns featuring cats and dogs, barnyard animals, pretty patterns and florals, and seasonal color palettes.

 

Food Huggers

Butter Savers preserve freshness and flavor while allowing butter to stand upright in the fridge, saving space and keeping storage tidy. You could also pair Cheese Hugger set with some local Wisconsin cheese.

 

A Jar of refreshing shower steamers on a green background with a stack of shower steamers next to it.

Shower Steamer or Bath Bomb

Help your host decompress by gifting package-free eucalyptus shower steamers or a bath bomb scented in lavender, lemon spearmint, or peppermint eucalyptus.

 

A close-up of the Redecker Lime-Catcher, a silver metal scouring pad with a rough, wiry, coiled texture, designed for descaling tea kettles and cleaning tough stains on pots and pans.

Stainless steel lime-catcher

Stop descaling your tea kettle manually and let this environmentally-friendly Kessy do the work for you! You could pair this gift with some loose leaf tea or an infuser.

 

Upcycled Cotton Kitchen Towels

Made with upcycled cotton and denim, these simple towels are great for various kitchen tasks and can help cut back on paper towels.

 

A white felted wool dryer ball featuring a Happy smiling earth design, resting on a textured beige fabric surface against a brown background.

Dryer Balls

These new-to-the-shop handmade dryer balls are super cute, and pairing with a sweater stone makes for a happy fall laundry experience.

 

Soy Candle

Made in the midwest, these candles come in holiday scents like Cardamom & Red Cedar, and the bubble glass jar can be repurposed by the recipient.


What gift have you loved receiving while hosting? Happy gifting!
