You would definitely want to show some appreciation when you are headed to a family’s dinner gathering, friend’s housewarming party, wedding or birthday party. Amazing guests never go empty-handed when invited. Be a little more creative than another flower bouquet, bottles of wine or scented candles with our thoughtful gift ideas that go far beyond the basics.

Here are 5 gift ideas you will actually want to give.

1.Gifts for Bread Lovers

Who doesn’t love freshly baked warm bread? No matter how long they have been baking, and it doesn’t matter what kind of bread they prefer baking, your host will fall in love with our Bread Warmer & Basket. A bread warmer will keep freshly baked bread warm and toasty. Owl and bird pattern terracotta stones are adorable enough to please your host but make it extra special with our personalized stone. You can add a thoughtful touch and express your gratitude by having their initials engraved on the stone. Put the terracotta stone in a preheated oven and once it is heated, the stone will stay warm for about 40 minutes. Stone gets pretty hot when it’s heated, so consider adding a bit of artisan-inspired style to your gift with our Hand Screen Printed Tea Towels printed in two different colors on natural cotton. You can use these tea towels to grab a hot stone or use them as a liner for the bread basket. And go beyond putting simple bread for these bread warmers. Muffins, hot dog buns, hamburger buns, and tortillas are perfect to store as well. Our bread basket itself has been handwoven from sustainably grown seagrass.

2.Gifts for Plant Lovers

Is your host a nature lover? Gifts for plant lovers don’t always have to be a new plant. They may already have so many plants to take care of. Instead of getting them more plants, gift them some more space! Any plant lover needs more space to properly display their babies. The easy solution is our Hanging Planters. Hanging plants does not take up any extra floor space and raises the plants off the floor. These handmade natural decorative jute hangers are finished with a knotted bottom to act as a base for potted plants or KORISSA baskets. Our plant lover gift collections consist of plenty of accessories that any plant parent is sure to love.
