I love all of these ideas! My go-to hostess gifts typically includes an upgraded hand soap, like the ones from Molton Brown. When I’m entertaining, I swap out the Myers for Molton Brown to kick up my hostess game a notch. To keep in brand with your post, I’d source a lovely soap dish to catch the drippings underneath the hand soap. Whilst in the topic of Amaro—you’d be surprised how many people appreciate a non alcoholic mocktail offering. St. Agrestis has Amaro and Phony Negroni which are easily prepared and are delish. A six pack of these and maybe a vintage book on the history of the cocktail might also be a good hostess gift.

I am a Vera fan girl/addict. The museum of art and design in NYC had an exhibition of her work a few years ago and it was amazing!

Her designs are so cheerful! I was thrilled to discover she also designed silk scarves! https://poshmark.com/listing/Gorgeous-Vintage-Vera-Neumann-Abstract-Geometric-Scarf-in-Vibrant-Colors-64b2a08649d8d8f07d2ea03a
