Organizing a nice event means a lot of planning and effort for the host. It begins with the selection of the menu, the purchase of food and its preparation, to set the table beautifully, to entertain the guests and ends only when all visitors go home happy.
The host is, of course, happy to receive any pledges and does not expect any gifts. Nevertheless, mere appearance is not enough to thank for hospitality. The invitees should always present the host with a suitable gift as a thank you for the invitation and as a token of appreciation.
Agony of the gift choice
Often one makes itself too little or much too late thoughts about the correct Mitbringsel and the decision falls on a last-minute gift such as a bottle wine or a bouquet of flowers. Surely you cannot go wrong with this choice, but particularly imaginative and lasting this is certainly not.
So usually the X-th single bottle of wine ends up in the wine cellar and the hostess, who is already tense, has to look for the right vase for the bouquet parallel to the greeting.
Admittedly, if you want to hand over a gift tailored to the host, then this is not always easy and often a challenge. So that the evening does not end in disaster, it is important to think in advance about what might please the host. An invitation from acquaintances or a business event where you don't know the hosts well can often be a headache. Certainly, on the other hand, it is easier when you are invited to friends, because you know their preferences, hobbies and interests well and can choose the gift accordingly.
If the hostess likes to decorate and attaches great importance to beautiful living, then you can not go wrong with a beautiful and high-quality stearin design candle.
If the hosts have children, then a lot of options open up as you can bring a nice gift for the kids instead of the adults. Don't worry, they don't have to get each family member a gift. This would go too far and is not required. One gift, but the appropriate one is quite enough.
If you have found the right souvenir, then you should also wrap it nicely. This is also a sign of appreciation, as you invest time yourself to present a beautiful gift.
Admittedly, not everyone has the patience and skill to wrap a gift and it becomes even more difficult if the gift has a special shape. In such cases, you can opt for a product that already has packaging and does not need to be wrapped again.
Last but not least, every gift should be accompanied by a nice card with a few personal lines to thank you for the invitation.
Gift ideas from 1991.one
If one would like to do something good for the host, then the high-quality organic teas from Araksa, which have already won the AVPA "Tea of the World" Award in Paris several times, are suitable for example. This is not only a gift for a gourmet, but for all those who care about sustainability and want to know where the products they consume come from.
For example, how about a beautiful object candle from Amabiente instead of a bouquet of flowers? The candles are developed in Switzerland and lovingly handcrafted in a small European manufactory. Amabiente is known for their variety of colors and high-quality stearin candles. For all fans of design and beautiful living, there is the right candle. Be it straight and massive cube, the elegant and filigree Kore or the Skulptura , which is an eye-catcher in any home. For the indecisive, there are already ready-made gift sets in a pretty packaging, which make the heart of every candle lover beat faster.
The team from FINK Product Design Studio in CH-Münchenstein has designed six ceramic figurines and had them produced by Hedwig Bollhagen in Germany. This is an ideal gift for anyone who likes to embellish their home with exclusive objects. People often wonder if a gift certificate is an appropriate gift, or if it is better to avoid this type of gift after all. Many feel it's silly to give away a gift certificate and yet a gift certificate is a better choice than an inappropriate gift. Especially as a last-minute gift vouchers are suitable, because you can buy them online and print them out immediately after completing the order at home.
If one decides for a coupon, then one should give away this however absolutely with a pretty map and personal lines. Presenting the voucher alone without a card in an envelope is very minimalistic and will probably not leave the desired impression.
How much should a hostess gift cost?
Uncertainty also often exists in the question of how much a guest gift should cost. This always depends on the occasion and, of course, on the relationship with the host. As a rule, however, one can say that you should be careful with too generous gifts, because you can also embarrass the host with it. The thought could arise that one must return the favor for the generous gift, which is not the purpose of a gift.
A gift is worth just as much as the love with which it was chosen.
Thyde Monnier, French writer
It is not important how expensive the gift is. It is much more important that it is personalized to the host and not a chore. If you can surprise the host with an individual gift, then the joy and sustainability is much greater than with an expensive gift that the host does not like.
Getting gifts is a joy, but it is even more joyful when you can present a suitable gift.
