Holiday gift guide: the hostess

As we make our way to Christmas, I know most of us are scurrying for gifts. Some of you have been writing me asking what to get the domestic gal in your life. Well, I've curated a few gift guides for the domestic goddesses out there. First up, my gift guide is inspired by my little sister. She is the chicest little entertainer, she's always inviting friends over, creating inspired recipes, watching the cooking channel,etc. Here are some things I know she would love...

1. The smoking gun, infuses food & drinks with natural smoky flavors.

2. A formal hard metal tea tray makes serving tea seems so fancy.

3. A good hostess loves to set tables with chic little gifts like these macaroon boxes.

4. Or this sweet little kit lets you make your own macaroons.

5.. How adorable is this glittering serverware?

6. Nothing says 'domestic bliss' better than monogrammed cocktail napkins.

7. A striped tablecloth is an essential home piece.

8. This is probably the most stylish apron I have ever seen.

9. Of course, why  not throw in a book called 'cooking for friends'
