Hi, it's Lindsay Diane from daycor.com.
0:07
In this video, I want to share with you
0:09
seven perfect gifts for the holiday
0:11
hostess. Let's face it, some people are
0:15
just amazing hosts. They have this
0:17
effortless hosting style that always
0:19
makes you feel welcome and at home and a
0:22
little special for a few hours.
0:25
They have their homes spotless and cozy
0:29
and welcoming. And anytime they invite
0:33
you, it's an automatic yes.
0:36
But if you've ever tried to host a large
0:39
family meal or a holiday at your home,
0:42
you know that it's anything but
0:44
effortless. A lot of planning and
0:46
attention to detail goes into hosting
0:48
people at your home. And when you have
0:51
somebody that is willing to put in that
0:54
effort to make a shared experience for
0:57
everyone, it's nice to thank them with a
0:59
gift from time to time. So, in this
1:02
video, I'm going to share with you seven
1:04
gifts that I've found that I think are
1:06
perfect for someone who loves to
1:08
entertain at their home. Let's get
1:10
started. Number one is a bread basket
1:13
with a warmer stone.
1:16
Now, a bread basket is fine, but a bread
1:20
basket with a warmer stone is a very
1:23
special item. Frankly, I don't know
1:25
anyone that has one of these, and I
1:27
would really love one. They are
1:30
basically a ceramic stone. Usually, they
1:34
come with a really beautiful sort of
1:36
print embossed on them.
1:39
You put them in the oven to warm them
1:41
up. And so the stone itself will
1:44
maintain the heat. Once you've warmed up
1:46
the warmer stone, you put it into the
1:48
basket. And then you're going to put
1:50
like maybe you have like a dishcloth or
1:52
something like that. And then you put
1:55
your bread, your biscuits, your rolls
1:58
right there. And then close up the
2:00
basket. And it will keep them warm while
2:03
they're at the dinner table while you
2:05
dine. I think this is a fantastic idea
2:09
for someone who loves to entertain. If
2:12
you have done it, you know that one of
2:14
the hardest things to do is to keep
2:17
everything hot, right? You are time
2:20
managing lots of different food items.
2:23
You want to make sure everything is
2:25
timed perfectly so that it all gets to
2:26
the table warm. And I think that a
2:29
basket with a warmer stone is an amazing
2:33
solution to this problem. and I think
2:36
your favorite host or hostess would love
2:39
it. Number two is reusable food covers.
2:43
Now, this goes handinhand with the
2:46
warmer basket idea. When you are
2:48
bringing lots of items out to a table,
2:50
let's say for Thanksgiving or Christmas
2:52
dinner or any sort of special meal where
2:56
you have a lot of food options and you
2:59
need to keep something covered and warm
3:03
while you're starting to get everyone to
3:05
the table, these reusable food covers
3:08
are perfect. They're made out of cloth,
3:11
so they're really just meant to cover
3:13
your food, keep people from, you know,
3:15
coughing on it, things from falling into
3:17
it, and they will help hold the heat
3:20
into your casserole dish or your bowl.
3:23
They come in different sizes. So, there
3:26
are some that are made to fit small
3:28
bowls, larger serving bowls, or like a 9
3:31
by13 baking dish. These are a really
3:35
great option. They come in lots of
3:36
different prints and patterns, and a set
3:39
of these would be amazing to gift a
3:42
hostess that you know. Number three is
3:44
paperless paper towels. Now, these are
3:47
starting to catch on. They are a way for
3:51
you to have a reusable paper towel. It's
3:55
made out of cloth, but it also sort of
3:58
um it's made of a material that sort of
4:01
grabs onto itself. So, you can roll it
4:04
up onto a regular paper towel holder and
4:07
sort of be able to pull one off at a
4:08
time just like you would with a regular
4:10
paper towel, except they have really
4:12
beautiful prints just like the um the
4:16
covers that we talked about a minute
4:18
ago. You have lots of different prints
4:20
available and they're a great option for
4:23
someone who's in the kitchen a lot and
4:25
doesn't want to burn through a bunch of
4:26
paper towels. These are reusable. They
4:29
have a really beautiful pattern to them
4:31
and they will help add a little bit of a
4:32
decorative accent to someone's kitchen.
4:35
Next up are stacking marble pinch pots.
4:39
Now, pinch pots are cool because you can
4:42
just literally pinch some salt, get a
4:45
pinch of salt and sprinkle it on your
4:47
food. Um, sometimes you can use them to
4:49
hold condiments. You can use them to
4:52
hold other types of spices, but these
4:54
little stacking pinch pots, I think, are
4:56
just a really, really pretty addition to
5:00
anyone's kitchen. They're functional,
5:02
they look nice, they look high quality,
5:05
and you can use them in a variety of
5:07
ways. So, it's a versatile item. Whether
5:10
someone wants to use them as pinch pots
5:13
for seasoning, they can. If they want to
5:15
use them for sauces and dips, they can.
5:18
If they want to use them for little nuts
5:20
and olives and things to put on a
5:22
shakurerie board, they can do that as
5:24
well. So, it's a really nice, versatile
5:27
item that's not too over the top, and I
5:30
think any hostess would love a set of
5:32
these. Next up are these personalized
5:35
state flower sack towels. These are
5:40
basically kitchen towels that are
5:42
personalized for people who live far
5:45
apart from one another. So, if you have
5:48
a friend or family member that lives in
5:51
another state as you, you can choose a
5:55
silhouette of your state and their state
5:57
and they're going to make a little
5:58
design like a little um swirling pattern
6:02
with hearts on it from one state to the
6:04
next. And if you choose the family
6:06
option, it says, you know, family knows
6:09
no distance. If you choose the
6:11
friendship option, it says friendship
6:13
knows no distance. I think that these
6:15
are really adorable and they're perfect
6:18
for someone that you may only see maybe
6:20
once or twice a year because they live a
6:22
long distance from you. Next up are
6:25
fancy coasters. Now, this is something
6:28
that anyone would love to have. We know
6:30
that you can get coasters anywhere, but
6:33
usually they're pretty plain. But if you
6:35
want something really fancy, a nice hand
6:38
painted coaster or a really creative
6:41
acrylic style coaster that maybe has
6:44
some, you know, flowers pressed into it
6:46
or something fancy like that. I would go
6:48
to Etsy and I would look for coasters
6:50
for someone. Usually, this is like such
6:53
a utilitarian sort of thing. We're going
6:56
to get what we need. You know, we're
6:58
going to grab a stack at Walmart. You
7:00
can grab them at Dollar Tree. You might
7:02
uh, you know, grab a set on Amazon, but
7:04
they may not be anything too special,
7:07
right? They're just functional. They're
7:08
there for a purpose. But when you take
7:10
the time to pick something that's really
7:12
incredibly designed that someone would
7:14
just sort of keep forever, I think it
7:16
makes a really fantastic gift. So, think
7:19
about getting some really gorgeous
7:22
handpainted like artisan coasters that
7:26
someone can keep for a lifetime. and I
7:28
think it will make a fantastic hostess
7:31
gift. And last but not least are
7:33
microwave soup bowl cozies. Now again,
7:37
this is not something that anyone needs
7:40
really, but they are handy and they're
7:42
helpful and they look really, really
7:44
cute. It's not something that anyone
7:47
would ever reject if you gave it to
7:49
them. It would be like this is really
7:51
neat. You know, it's not something that
7:53
too many people are running out to buy
7:55
for themselves. I think it's a perfect
7:57
giftable item. Essentially, what you
7:59
have here is like a pot holder that's
8:02
molded into the shape of a bowl. So,
8:04
that when you want to microwave a bowl,
8:07
like whether it's soup or you're trying
8:09
to reheat something in your microwave
8:13
and you have to reach in and your bowl
8:15
is blazing hot and you then you've got
8:17
to get like a a dish towel or you've got
8:19
to get oven mitts or something like that
8:20
to pull that bowl back out of the
8:22
microwave. This is what that's designed
8:24
for. You put your bowl into the cozy.
8:27
You put the cozy into the microwave with
8:29
the bowl. Everything gets heated up the
8:32
way it needs to. And then you can pull
8:34
that microwave bowl right out because
8:36
the cozy is going to stop you from
8:38
burning your hands. This is one of
8:41
those. Again, it's it's an extra. Nobody
8:44
absolutely needs it, but they're really
8:46
cool to have. And they're also really
8:48
great to, you know, double as a pot
8:51
holder to protect your surfaces. So,
8:54
that very hot bowl, you might not want
8:56
to put right onto your granite or your
8:58
quartz countertops. You might not want
9:01
to put that right onto your oak dining
9:03
table. Instead, you're going to have it
9:06
in this really beautifully designed
9:08
cozy. You can set it right on your
9:10
dining room table. Again, it's something
9:12
that will help protect your table. It's
9:15
going to protect your hands, and it will
9:17
add a little bit of a decorative touch
9:19
to your table as well. So, that's it for
9:21
my list of seven perfect gifts for the
9:24
holiday hostess. Again, these are gifts
9:27
that are great all year round, but
9:29
particularly as we're moving into the
9:30
holiday season, I think these would be
9:32
really fantastic to bring to anyone
9:35
during Thanksgiving or the New Year or
9:37
Christmas, these are items that are
9:39
bound to bring a smile to someone's
9:41
face. That's it for this video. I hope
