These Host Gifts Will Steal the Show at Thanksgiving

illy 25th Anniversary Gift Crate

For the coffee lover, illy’s gift crate is both practical (it comes with a mini espresso maker and a towel for spills!) and luxurious (it includes a display-worthy Italian porcelain set featuring design collaborations with world-renowned artists). 

There’s panettone, and then there’s Roy Shvartzapel’s panettone. Chef Roy has dedicated his life to perfecting the art of panettone, and mentored with the world’s panettone master, Iginio Massari, to perfect his own. For this version, he uses European-style butter and premium candied oranges and raisins from Italy. (Available online only.)

Gold Pineapple Cocktail Shaker

Call us biased, but we love the pineapple. It’s long been a symbol of welcome, friendship and hospitality, which means it’s a terrifically appropriate gift for any entertainer in your life.

Marble & Copper Monogram Boards

An inlaid copper monogram gives this marble board a fresh, modern style. If you want to go all out, pair it with a knife set for the chicest gift your host or hostess will ever receive.

Plaid Insulated Beverage Container

A cozy thermal bottle decked out in a holiday pattern makes for a gift that’s both festive and practical (the container’s twist-off lid even doubles as a cup!). Package it with a bag of snowflake marshmallows for a present that’s particularly evocative of the season.

Personalized Peppermint Bark Tin

Make our bestselling Williams-Sonoma Peppermint Bark even more of a holiday favorite for friends and family by customizing our keepsake tin with a special name. (Personalization available online only.)

Moravian Chocolate-Dipped Peppermint Cookies

Treat your hosts to a luxurious snack: crispy Moravian spice cookies flavored with a splash of peppermint and dipped in Guittard dark chocolate. They’ll disappear in a heartbeat.

Fortnum & Mason Advent Calendar

If you’re headed to the home of a tea lover, surprise him or her with an advent calendar from Fortnum & Mason, the legendary English tea house that has supplied the royal family for more than 300 years. It contains 24 different tea bags, each filled with a rare tea sourced from India and the Far East.

Bamboo Waffle Weave Robe

Treat your host or hostess (or both!) to the gift of a fresh, clean, soft robe to unwind in after a long night of entertaining. For extra brownie points and an even more personalized touch, add a monogram, too.
