I spend a lot of time thinking about hostess gifts — partly because it’s my job and also because I go to a decent amount of events at other people’s homes (for some reason, people keep inviting me over … maybe it’s because they know they’ll get a good gift out of it?) and I host a lot people in my own home.

Over the years, I’ve decided that I’ll never gift flowers (they’re annoying for the host to deal with), candles (see below!), or treats (because I don’t want anyone to feel obligated to serve them right away). And actually, I’ve gotten pretty creative, thinking outside the usual hostess gift box. I like to give something surprising, inexpensive, and useful. Ideally, it’s something the host wouldn’t usually think to buy for herself (think: a really nice soap dish or a tin of tea).

With all of that in mind, here are 10 of the best host gifts I’ve seen leading up to this holiday season (and, as a market editor, I see a lot of gifts!). I either want or plan on giving every single thing on this list.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
