Creative Hostess Gifts That You Can DIY

DIY Relaxing Gift Basket

Hostessing a wonderful dinner party for a group of people takes a lot of work, from cleaning the entire house to planning the perfect entertainment and cooking up a feast for everyone to indulge in the least you can do is say thank you to the person or couple hosting the party. 

One easy way to say thanks is to help them relax once everyone is gone by filling an empty basket with a bottle of wine, a DIY bath scrub and some beautiful cut flowers from your garden.
