The Gift (Better) Guide: for the Host

For the entertainer, the dinner guest, and the life of the party.

For holiday spirit (sans) spirits, for the tea partier, for the little bit twisted, for the thirst trap.

For the curious hostess, for the Florida prepster, for the bar cart pusher, for the well-mannered guest.

For forced family fun, for the host you don’t know too well, for the note jotter, for the crass and brassy.

For the host who sparkles, for the festival of lights, for the playful, for the board lord.

For Apertivo hour, for every hour, for big birds, for a little something extra.

For the true neutral, to let them eat cake, for the one with the perfect kitchen, for one more candle to light.
