Great gifts for the Hostess under $20

Julie Blanner

It's that time of year again. Time for holiday parties, dinner with friends and families, and impromptu get togethers. It is always nice to bring the host/hostess a small gift to celebrate the season and as a way to say thank you for hosting the event. If you are like me, you are always scrambling for a last minute gift. So as a gift to you, I have compiled some great gifts for less than $20.  At these prices, you can keep some on hand for those unexpected invitations.

Stylish lidded candles are always a hit. These lively striped ceramic containers have a festive feel but are versatile enough to last the whole year through. Not to mention they smell great too.
