Best Hostess Gifts & Stocking Stuffers

It’s the little things, you know, especially this time of year. Whether it’s a carefully chosen hostess gift or a specially selected stocking stuffer, these thoughtful surprises are my favorite kind of gift to give, and to receive. Lola and I enjoy putting together several small items to create one larger gift, because nothing is more fun than opening up one tiny treasure at a time. I hope you’ll find something on this list for someone on yours!
