The Perfect Hostess Gift for the Holidays: Custom Items That Wow
The holiday season is quickly approaching, and with it comes the countless gatherings, parties, and dinners hosted by friends and family. If you're looking for the perfect way to say "thank you" to the gracious hosts who open their homes to you, it's time to think beyond the traditional bottle of wine (though that’s always a welcome choice!). Why not give a gift that feels truly personal and thoughtful? At Paper & Pearl, we have a variety of customizable products that make the perfect hostess gifts for the holidays.
Here are some of our favorite custom picks and a few classic ideas to pair them with.
1. Custom Address Stamp
One of the most thoughtful gifts you can give is something that makes life a little easier. A custom address stamp from Paper & Pearl is both practical and stylish, and it’s the kind of thing that every host will appreciate—whether they send holiday cards, invitations, or simply enjoy adding a personal touch to their outgoing mail. With hundreds of styles to choose from, you can select a design that perfectly matches your host’s taste.
Pair it with: A set of holiday cards or envelopes for their next correspondence.
2. Customized Stationery
Personalized stationery is another gift that blends practicality with elegance. From custom notepads to desk pads, stationery is something every organized (or aspiring-to-be-organized) host will adore. It's the perfect way for them to jot down notes, to-do lists, or even use as unique thank-you notes. Customization options allow you to add names, initials, or monograms to make it even more special.
Pair it with: A set of stylish pens or a decorative pen holder to complete the desk setup.
3. Monogrammed Mugs, Tumblers, and Wine Glasses
What could be more festive than giving a monogrammed mug or wine glass? Whether it’s filled with morning coffee, afternoon tea, or a celebratory glass of wine, these monogrammed drinkware pieces are personal, thoughtful, and highly functional. With options like tumblers that keep drinks cold (or warm), your hostess can enjoy them long after the party ends.
Pair it with: A selection of gourmet coffee, tea, or a bottle of their favorite wine to fill their new drinkware.
4. Monogrammed Coasters
Nothing says you’ve thought of everything like a set of personalized monogrammed coasters. These beautiful acrylic coasters come in a variety of designs and are perfect for protecting surfaces while adding a touch of sophistication to any gathering. They're a versatile gift that will work in both formal dining settings and casual coffee tables.
Pair it with: A set of cocktail napkins or a bottle of their favorite spirit for a complete entertaining package.
5. Monogrammed Easel Calendar
Help your hostess stay organized and stylish with a monogrammed easel calendar. This thoughtful gift adds both form and function to any desk or kitchen counter. The sleek design allows them to stay on top of their schedule while enjoying the beauty of custom monograms and carefully curated designs each month.
Pair it with: A chic set of sticky notes or an elegant planner for the ultimate desk set.
Traditional Items to Pair with Custom Gifts
While a personalized gift will certainly stand out, you can never go wrong with a few traditional hostess gifts to show your appreciation.
A Bottle of Wine
A classic option that’s always well-received, a bottle of wine can complement your custom gift perfectly. Whether you opt for a festive red or a bubbly sparkling wine, your hostess will appreciate having something to enjoy after the party.
A Homemade Dessert
If you enjoy baking, why not bring a homemade dessert? Whether it’s a batch of cookies, a loaf of banana bread, or a beautifully packaged cake, homemade treats are a personal way to express gratitude. Plus, they can enjoy it after all the guests have gone home!
A Scented Candle
Help your hostess unwind after the holiday bustle with a beautifully scented candle. Select fragrances that evoke the coziness of the season, like cinnamon, vanilla, or pine, to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in their home.
