Hostess & Dinner Party Gifts

Somebody cooked for you. Somebody ironed napkins, lit candles and hid the laundry in the guest room closet. That person deserves better than a third bottle of merlot lined up beside the other two. Limoges hostess gifts tuck into a coat pocket and say thank you for feeding me long after the dishes are dry. Each one is hand-painted in France, hinged, and arrives gift-boxed, ready to hand over at the door.

Think of it as a whole menu in miniature. There is a steak dinner with vegetables on the plate, a hamburger, a hot dog, a banana split, an ice cream cone and a strawberry tart for dessert. A teddy bear chef looks ready to take over the kitchen, and swirly lollipops add a sugary finish. For holiday hosts, look for pine wreaths, a stocking full of presents, carolers by a lamp post and champagne glasses wishing everyone Merry Christmas. Each lid lifts to reveal a tiny secret spot for a note or an after-dinner mint.

Here is a sneaky truth about hostess gifts: once you bring one, you become the guest everyone hopes will come back. Plenty of collectors started with a single box handed over at the front door, then built a whole dinner party on a curio shelf, one course at a time. Group the food pieces on a sideboard tray or bring out the holiday boxes every December for a centerpiece that never wilts. Dinner is served.
