It's an age-old adage: Attending a party? Whether it's a birthday party, Thanksgiving get-together, or annual Christmas soirée, it's good etiquette to bring your hostess a gift. While her go-to bottle of wine will definitely be appreciated, we think you could do even better, and that's exactly where we come in.

Ahead, you'll find a roster of curated selections chosen with your hostess in mind: She's a natural entertainer, one who is not just the source of the party, but the heartbeat of it, too. To show your gratitude (and guarantee an invite back to next year's celebration) present her with one of these thoughtful gifts. Whether you're looking for entertaining-centric options that she can use at her next event—including healthful culinary manuals and baking books penned by our founder, the best-possible chef's knife, a prize-worthy roaster-turned-serving pan—or elevated, just-for-her presents to encourage a little self-care once the party has ended, there are plenty of guaranteed winners in the slides ahead.

We're particularly fond of the gifts that err on the side of the unexpected. She likely didn't know that she needed fragrant taper candles, for example, but she won't know how or why she lived without them once you introduce her to these entertaining essentials. As for our other favorite didn't-see-that-coming options? A gorgeous spice collection and sparkly sugar cubes are both unique ideas that will get put to good use on the big night and beyond. Ahead, more inspired, elevated, and delicious gifts for your very own hostess.
