50 Inexpensive Hostess Gifts all under $25
Going to a party or get together and need a hostess gift? No gift needs to be elaborate or expensive – just memorable and thoughtful. So today, I’m highlighting these inexpensive hostess gifts from Target. All under $25!
I don’t like to show up at a party empty handed. My mother always taught me to bring a little something to the host and it’s a sentiment I’ve carried with me my whole life.
If you know a little something about the host, you can tailor the gift to their personality. But if not – no worries – you are covered with these picks.

You can (and should) combine some of these gifts as well. For instance, a hot chocolate bomb + a nice mug. Or, a basket of breakfast goodies for the next morning. A pretty hand towel and a soap set. You get the idea.
Regarding food gifts, I think pantry staple items are best (like pancake or cookie mix), rather than something that *MUST* go in the fridge as soon as you get there. And if you are giving a food gift, it’s important to be aware of any food allergies.
When in doubt, a nice coaster set, a bottle of wine (although they are not obligated to open it) a vase of flowers, or a candle are always practical and appreciated.
Just don’t forget that presentation is everything. Make sure you grab some pretty gift wrap or at least a nice ribbon for gifting. And a gift tag is a must in case the host is busy when you arrive.
You can also make your own homemade gift for the hostess, maybe a pretty scented sachet or set of no sew linen napkins?
