Gift suggestions for the host or hostess
Durant les Fêtes, les occasions de réception ne manquent pas. Aussi, plus d’une fois on se demande quel gift apporter à la personne qui nous reçoit. Vous trouverez ci-dessous un certain nombre de suggestions de bon ton pour vous inspirer le temps venu.
Be original
Beyond the usual bottle of good wine, or flowers and sweets, opt this year for ice cider or an excellent crème de cassis. Delicatessens offer charming gift sets of spices, teas, and herbal teas from here and elsewhere. If he or she enjoys a change of scenery, a travel journal featuring recipes from a popular destination will surely please them.
A little treat
Who doesn't appreciate a basket of delicacies elegantly presented in a woven basket? Place cheeses, fruits, nuts, or even envelopes of fine hot chocolate in it, for example.
Little gadgets
An original zester or a funny peeler, a beautiful set of cloth napkins, a colorful handmade apron are among those nice little non-essential accessories that a host or hostess will appreciate.
A gift from the heart
When inspiration is lacking, there's nothing better than a little something handmade or homemade to honor the person receiving it. Pay attention to the presentation of your gift by adding a pretty box, a fabric lid, or ribbons. If the gift is for someone with an artistic or crafting interest, a scrapbooking kit or a book on painting are good choices.
