When it comes to house gifts for the holiday host, you want something that exhibits both beautiful form and impressive function\u2014something like a Nespresso machine that not just cheers up your kitchen counter, but produces the kind of coffee that puts the final kiss on a festive evening. We asked a roster of Vogue.com writers, who also happen to be superb party-throwers, what gifts they would use with relish right away, and the responses didn\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n<p>Alexandra Macon confesses that not only does she love receiving cocktail napkins\u2014and making cocktails!\u2014but accessorizing an hors d\u2019oeuvres table with paper or linen napkins is a fun way to add color\u2014and if it\u2019s the latter, a stitched monogram is always appreciated. \u201cI\u2019m from the South where they say, \u2018If it\u2019s not moving, monogram it!\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maya Singer learned from her great-aunt Alma not to worry too much about matching. Maya has been collecting flea market china for years. \u201cIf something breaks, it\u2019s not a crisis\u2014and because things <em>do<\/em> break, I always appreciate a gift of a beautiful plate, bowl, or serving item. Indeed, I\u2019ll probably put it to use right away!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lynn Yaeger doesn\u2019t worry about matching either\u2014her delightful hodgepodge of vintage furniture may be more thrift than Thonet, but that doesn\u2019t mean she wants to see drinking-glass rings marring their surfaces. So a gift of coasters\u2014the quirkier the better!\u2014is ideal to forestall morning-after tragedies.<\/p>\n<p>Luke Leitch says the ideal gift depends on the character of the party\u2014raucous gatherings call out for a classic board game that everyone can play. And a present he couldn\u2019t wait to open, whatever the party? A Lazy Susan. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chloe Malle similarly evinces a split personality: She loves it when people remember her dog, Phyllis, with a witty chew toy, but for herself, she longs for a set of antique silver turquoise-inlay Navajo demitasse spoons like the ones owned by a friend who lives in Santa Fe. \u201cWhat a treat it would be to host holiday coffee drinkers with these little gems perched on their saucers!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When things heat up at Nick Remsen\u2019s house, he wishes someone had brought \u201csome kind of totally analog instant film camera. Put your phones down, people, we\u2019re taking an old-fashioned Polaroid!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But sometimes, the simplest gift is the most touching. Molly Guy says modestly that she would love a tiny earthenware vase with a small neck that she could drop a single sunflower in for a centerpiece: \u201cOne bloom can be so much more chic than a big bouquet.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p> Source URL: https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/holiday-hostess-gifts<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Living The Holiday Hosting Gifts Vogue Contributors Want to Get (and Use!)
