Naturally,she's perfected a go-to list of creative hostess gift ideas that never fail to delight. Attending Thanksgiving dinner or a holiday party soon? Here's what delight has to say about her five favorite ideas:1. Salt is my favorite hostess gift"A flaky sea salt, a coarse sea salt that you've infused with fresh rosemary, and a salt you've picked up from recent travels . . . most everyone uses salt,but most of us don't splurge on it, so it makes a really lovely gift."2. A fresh loaf of banana bread"It's easy to freeze but also really delicious with the next day's coffee." 3. A bottle of your favorite gin"I worship gin and I want everyone else to worship gin too."4. A small bottle of homemade essential oil room spray"I mix distilled water with vodka and essential oils in a runt spray jar and gift it as a pillow spray. It's thoughtful, and memorable,and really economical."5. A coloring book and colored pencils"They're all the rage right now and actually pretty fun and soothing!"
