Strongwater Original Cocktail Bitters Sampler
Sure, you could bring a great bottle of liquor, but a set of craft-made bitters will expand their cocktail repertoire. These award-winning small-batch bitters are made in Colorado and come in cherry, orange, aromatic, lavender and walnut. You don’t even have to use them in cocktails—a few drops will dress up sparkling water or tea. Each one is made with real ingredients that are non-GMO and gluten-free, with no added sugar. The bottles are all topped with droppers to make measuring simple.

Handlandy Thorn-Proof Gardening Gloves
How about some hostess gift ideas for green thumbs? If your hostess grows roses or handles holly bushes or dense thickets, Handlandy’s extra-long gloves are a must. They’ll even stand up to cacti! Additionally, they’re made with heavy-duty cow hide, so they’ll last forever and are long enough to protect the forearms. The split cowhide palms give a good grip while still being flexible. We love that they come in rose or green and both medium and large sizes. Something else we love? These garden gift baskets ideas.

Etwoa Bookshelf Infinity Scarf
This scarf features a dramatic image of bookshelves with actual book titles. It’s made of 100% chiffon, so it’s lightweight, soft and machine-washable. And since it’s an infinity scarf, it’s great for those who struggle to find the right way to drape and tie a scarf or have mobility issues that make accessorizing difficult. As far as hostess gift ideas go, it’s simply perfect for the friend who has hosted the book club more times than you can count.
