American Made Hostess Gifts We Love

For many of us, the late summer into fall season also means party season. Then, from Thanksgiving to New Years, there can be a dinner party, cocktail party, or even a luncheon to attend every week. Show your host or hostess how much you appreciate being their guest with a thoughtful gift that's made in the USA. Here is a list of American made hostess gifts that are sure to be well received.

An old fashioned handcrafted tavern puzzle makes a unique hostess gift and will provide entertainment to the party guests as well. Tucker-Jones House, Inc, a family-owned blacksmith business located in New York, is a maker of handcrafted metal tavern puzzles in a variety of difficulties and styles.

One can never go wrong with a gift of chocolate! Chuao Chocolatier, premier chocolate made in southern California, has a selection of gift sets to choose from. My favorite is the Chuao Chocolatier Share the Love 36 Piece Gift Set. With 36 pieces and 14 different flavors of gourmet, artisan chocolate, there is plenty of sweetness to go around….if the hostess wants to share.

A Words with Boards handcrafted wooden cutting board makes a useful hostess gift. Made in Maryland, Words With Boards cutting boards are the only cutting boards with the words hand-cut from American forested hardwoods. Each board is unique and one-of-a-kind.

Candles are a popular hostess gift. I love the Linnea's Lights Crushed Mint Summer Garden Terrazzo Pot is one of the brand's iconic double-wick, small-batch soy candles. The scent is summery, crisp and refreshing! I love it. Linnea’s Lights® is a woman-owned home fragrance business built upon a foundation of quality and craftsmanship.

The Sea Bags wine bag is a hostess gift that can keep on giving. Start a party tradition with friends and pass the decorative, Eco-friendly wine bag from hostess to hostess. Sea Bags hand-cut and sewn wine bags are made in Maine form re-purposed sails.
