The job of a hostess is a labour of love. They take on board all the planning, set up and clean up responsibilities simply to gift their friends and family with an opportunity to connect and to eat To thank them for this effort, we always bring a thoughtful little gift for our hostess with the mostess. We asked all the girls at the shop what their go-to hostess gifts are and here is what we found.
Andie thinks that a scented candle with a little bottle of matches is the perfect gift. To those that say scented candles are overdone, we say nonsense. They are delightful and universally adored.
