Of course, finding the just-right, perfectly appropriate present for each occasion can be a challenge. The good news is, we've got you covered with this list of the most creative, original hostess gifts. No more last-minute wine store runs for you! Now you'll be able to let your friends, neighbors, and family members know just how much you appreciate their hospitality with practical kitchen gifts, cool gifts for gardeners, awesome gifts for bakers, and gifts for best friends. We even have gifts for mother-in-laws, and other hard-to-shop-for hosts and hostesses. This year, opt for something truly inspired and personal, like an engraved cheese board, a coffee sampler with roasted beans from around the world, or a scented candle that looks as good as it smells.
