Gift Guide for the Perfect Hostess

It's hard to believe that 5 years ago the only thing I could cook was macaroni & cheese and now I live for looking through my recipe books looking for something homemade to make every night. I'm enjoying a DIY approach to learning how to cook, decorate & host parties with friends! Whether it's you, a mom or your bestie- we all know that perfect hostess!
I've teamed up with HSN to share my gift ideas for the hostess- the one who makes killer gameday appetizers, has a shelf full of gorgeous cookbooks & is always up for wine night with the girls!

Gift Guide for the Perfect Hostess from HSN:
1. Cake Stand - Colin Cowie | 2. "Preserving By the Pint" Book | 3. Cast Iron Casserole Pan- Fontignac | 4. Greek Yogurt Maker - DASH Kitchen | 5. Monogram Stemless Wine Glasses- Personal Creations | 6. Cordless Wine Bottle Opener- Advent | 7. Frozen Yogurt Maker- Cuisinart 8. Pineapple Corer- Curtis Stone | 9. Slow Cooker - Hamilton Beach | 10. 5 PC Nesting Mixing Bowls- Ingrid Hoffman
HSN also offers flex pay options for savvy shoppers on a budget- great for big ticket items!
I love that all of these picks for the hostess are both colorful and incredibly useful kitchen & entertaining tools. My slow cooker is one of my absolute favorite things ever. There is literally nothing better than putting all of the ingredients inside & coming back to a hot home cooked meal by the end of the work day! I'm also really wanting a frozen yogurt maker- I've already been dreaming up all of the holiday flavors I'd dream up.
A night of drinking wine & watching Scandal with a few girlfriends is totally underrated too. The cordless bottle opener makes popping open bottles a breeze & the monogrammed wine glasses are absolutely darling. Entertaining doesn't have to be a stressful ordeal- it's about enjoying the company of friends or loved ones and eating some delicious food in the process!
What's your favorite gift for the hostess?
xoxo, lauren
