Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered an appropriate budget for a hostess gifts?
This depends on how well you know your host. Typically under $ 50 is what is customary. However, if your close friend is hosting then you could splurge more than that. Make it more about the meaning and the thought of the gift you're bringing rather than the dollar amount.
How early should I arrive to a party I'm invited to?
We suggest that you show up on time or a little after. The host generally doesn't want people showing up earlier than the time indicated on the invite if they are still running around setting up.
What makes a gift "timeless"?
Something that can be re-gifted through the years and doesn't go out of style.
How to personalize luxury gifts?
You could monogram luxury hand towels, or find a luxury candle with the initial of their last name. A wood cutting board with their initial is a nice touch as well.
