Friends with grills. Friends with pools. Friends with boats. Even a friend with a sprinkler and a yard. When summer hits, these are the first people you call.
But how do you show your gratitude for the host or hostess with the most? Even a small gift to show a token of your appreciation is enough.
If you’re someone who likes to say thank you with a bottle of wine or a plate of cookies every year, then you’re in the right spot. We’re here to help you say thank you with these most-wanted summer host gifts.
A great gift is as simple as something that says “I thought of you.” It doesn’t have to be super-expensive, or only usable for a long weekend when you know you’ll be crashing in someone’s guest room.
For a thoughtful gift idea that’s not just a candle or gift card, we recommend something like a pour-over coffee carafe, serving bowl, or little wine charms so people can keep their drinks straight.
These tokens of thoughtfulness are a way to enhance an existing collection of home goods, and can often build on anything you’ve purchased for a friend or couple in years past.
Don’t wait for a fancy dinner party to give the perfect gift. Just drop by their house the next time they’re on your mind. They’ll appreciate the gesture as much as you appreciate their pool!
