10 Gifts to Get Your Thanksgiving Host This Year

Your Thanksgiving host has done all the planning, shopped for all the ingredients, and cooked and cleaned their way through many dishes. Now it’s your turn to show up with a small, thoughtful gift that shows your appreciation. To help you out, we’ve rounded up some of the best host gifts you can find at Williams Sonoma right now.

Spiced Pumpkin Pecan Bark

If you love our peppermint bark, you need to try this pumpkin pecan version. Hand-crafted with semisweet and milk Guittard chocolates, each bite delivers rich pumpkin flavors and spices. Crunchy pecans drizzled with chocolate perch on top. You won’t upstage your host’s pumpkin pie, but it might be close.

Olivewood Coasters, Set of 4

Frequent dinner hosts can never have too many coasters at the ready. These gorgeous olivewood coasters all have a unique pattern and will look great sitting under any drink.

Mulled Spice Gift Crate

Some people are really, really into cider and mulled wine. So get them the best mulled cider spice gift crate there is. The kit includes a gorgeous hammered mulling spice ball, two double-walled glasses for coddling, and our mulling spices.

Williams Sonoma Wine Winged Corkscrew

This elegant corkscrew provides the right amount of sparkle in any holiday kitchen! Better yet — pair it with a nice bottle of wine, for a superior gift for your host.  

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Hot chocolate is ubiquitous with the holiday season, and this peppermint version is particularly special. Made with Guittard chocolate and pure peppermint oil, this rich and creamy drink is the perfect match for marshmallows, whipped cream, or nothing at all.

Infused Olive Oil Gift Set

This olive oil set is a great gift for the host that’s hard to shop for. The set comes in four flavors: blood orange, roasted garlic, aromatic basil, and white truffle. They’re perfect for dipping breads, drizzling over salads, or adding a finishing touch to soups.

Silicone Ice Sphere Molds, Set of 2

For the host that serves a mean cocktail, these ice sphere molds will be a welcome surprise. This ice will keep drinks colder for longer as they’re slow to melt. If you want to be the best guest ever, bring your friend a nice bottle of their favorite spirit to accompany the molds!

Antonini Olivewood Cheese Knives Set

These beautiful olivewood cheese knives will (almost) steal the show on your host’s next cheese board. The knives come as a set of four and are designed for cheeses with various levels of firmness.

Mulling Spices

Sometimes the simplest, coziest host gift is best (especially if you’re on a budget!) Consider our jar of mulling spices, maybe with a mug or two alongside. Featuring clove, allspice, orange, and cinnamon, the mix is marvelous simmered with apple cider or red wine. 

Winter Forest Candle

After cooking, cleaning, entertaining, and then cleaning again, your Thanksgiving host can wind down with this seasonal candle. This customer favorite smells of pine, cedar, thyme, citrus, cinnamon, and patchouli, and will help set the tone for the rest of the holiday season.
