Hostess Gifts People Won’t Re-Gift

The holiday invitations are rolling in, which means it’s time to start thinking about hostess gifts.  Are they really necessary?  Expected?  Probably not.  Appreciated?  Absolutely.  After all, someone invited you into their home, cleaned the bathroom, made food, and probably hid a pile of random stuff in a bedroom before you arrived.  The least you can do is bring something good.  At Better Than Yours, we’re partial to gifts people can actually enjoy instead of politely adding to their collection of holiday mugs.

Food Hostess Gifts Are Always a Good Idea

When you don’t know exactly what someone likes, consumable gifts are a pretty safe bet.  Good coffee, chocolates, baked goods, gourmet snacks, and other food hostess gifts can be enjoyed during the party or saved as a treat for later.

And unlike another decorative sign telling them it’s the most wonderful time of the year, food doesn’t require permanent storage space.

A jar of Better Than Yours salsa is an easy option on its own, or pair it with tortilla chips, crackers, cheese, or other snacks for a simple gift basket.  Choose Mild, Hot, or Extra Hot depending on just how well you know your host.

Make It Local With Virginia-Made Gifts

If you want your gift to feel a little more thoughtful, shop small and look for products made close to home.  Virginia-made gifts come with a story and give you a chance to support local businesses while checking another name off your holiday list.

Create a Virginia-themed basket with locally made snacks, coffee, sweets, and a jar or two of Better Than Yours salsa.  It’s personal without being too personal, which is exactly what you want from a hostess gift.

Give Something They’ll Actually Want

The best hostess gifts don’t have to be expensive or elaborate.  They just need to say, “Thanks for having me. I brought you something good.”  After all, the host probably isn’t expecting anything, so whatever you bring will be a welcome surprise.  Holiday parties are around the corner.  Now is the time to stock up.

Better Than Yours is a Virginia salsa company founded by a female veteran, making damn good salsa for busy families, hungry friends, and anyone who believes good food doesn’t need to be complicated.  From Mild to Extra Hot, there’s a jar for every kind of salsa person.  We ship nationwide, so wherever you call home, great salsa is only an order away.  Just Buy the Damn Salsa.
