As a self-proclaimed hostess with the mostess, I know a thing or two about entertaining. Here you’ll find 10 Gifts for People Who Like to Entertain that are perfect for the entertainers on your gift list.

Entertaining is in my blood. I come from a long line of women who know what it takes to throw a gathering that’s fit for a king and queen. And to say we have had some pretty epic parties throughout the years would be an understatement. Our family sure knows how to throw a party!

I learned everything I know about entertaining from watching my mom and grandma doing it hundreds of times throughout my childhood. As I got older, I started helping little by little. As the years went on, I would take on more responsibilities. 

I was probably in my early twenties when I was able, and confident enough, to fully take over. I started hosting events and holidays in my own home with the help and support of my mom and grandma. Although nerve-wracking at first, I finally found my groove and never looked back.

Now in my late 30’s, I can honestly say I’ve hosted more events than I can even count. Whether it be an elaborate Friendsgiving gathering or something simple like a Sunday Game Day BBQ, I’ve come to be able to hold my own in the world of entertaining. I love every second of it too, in case you were wondering!

When you entertain as much as I do, you find yourself looking for products that will make your life easier. And if they’re pretty too, that’s even better! Below you’ll find my list of gifts that will leave any entertainer you know swooning in happiness!

10 Gifts for the Person Who Loves to Entertain

Happy Everything! Serving Platters, Bowls, Plates

Basically anything from Happy Everything! is an entertainer’s dream. I was introduced to the company back in April when two of my best girlfriends bought my birthday present from their online store. To say I’ve been obsessed with their products ever since would be an understatement.

They have so many products to choose from, but they’re most known for creating beautiful bases and attachments to add to them. They have attachments for different seasons, holidays, and life moments. This allows you to keep the same base all year long and simply switch out the attachments for the occasion you’re trying to celebrate. Isn’t the concept amazing!?

I’m literally obsessed with my red small dot mini entertaining rectangular platter and gingerbread house mini attachment.

Trivets

Pretty trivets are a must for any dinner party or gathering. Not only are they a useful gift for someone who likes to entertain, but they add that little extra something to your table decor.

Wine Chiller 

This marble wine chiller is absolutely beautiful! Add a bottle of nice wine with it in a gift bag and you’ll have one of the best gifts for that special entertainer in your life.

Spoon Rest

Spoon rests might seem like an odd gift idea but let me explain before you think I’m a crazy person. Have you ever set up a buffet or family-style meal in your house before? I do this a ton, often with multiple crock pots involved. Of course, serving utensils are needed when placing these dishes out to share. The problem then becomes where do you place the serving pieces when they’re not being used. You can use a small plate or napkin but having some nice spoon rests would be a little classier.

Cake Stand

Cake stands are great gifts for entertainers. There is so much you can do with them besides displaying a cake. It can be used as decor as well as displaying all different types of food…not only cakes.

Tiered Serving Trays

Tiered serving trays are great gifts for people who like to entertain. It allows the host to display different appetizers and treats to share with their guests. It adds a nice focal point to the table too!

Flatware Caddy

This is a great way to organize silverware for a more laid back gathering. I love the way it keeps everything organized and in one place. My organized and entertaining heart loves the idea of this gift idea.

Beverage Bucket

This is such a gorgeous way to display your wine, water, or any other beverages you plan on serving at your party or special occasion.

Ice Bucket 

I use this all the time at parties and gatherings. I have it set up on the bar and guests have access to it when making cocktails. As an entertainer, this is one item I could definitely not live without!

Food name cards and/or placement cards

I absolutely love labeling dishes, especially in a more laid back atmosphere when I set up a buffet-style meal and everyone is serving themselves. Having food labels allows the guests to know what they’re eating and keeps the hostess from constantly having to tell each and every guest what’s being served. 

food name tags

food name cards

In terms of the placement cards, these would come in handy in a more formal atmosphere to show your guests where you’d like them to sit.

Any of these ideas would make perfect gifts for people who like to entertain. Buy one or more and make the ultimate gift basket for that special entertainer in your life. You’re about to make someone very happy, I can guarantee you that.

How big is my kid?! He came home from school just as I was finishing up my #stitchfix try-on to share in my stories and I had to snag a picture. He’s literally a grown man. I can’t even!❤️❤️❤️
.
Head to my stories and help me vote on what to keep and send back from my 64th #stitchfixbox. Yep, I’m obviously obsessed with #stitchfix and proud of it!🤣🤣🤣

My Valentine’s Day heart wreath is finally finished which means I can share my entire mantle with you. Sorry for the tease yesterday...it’s been a work in progress!❤️💜💗
.
Thank you for those who helped me decide in my stories if I should or should not add the “XOXO” on my wreath. The majority said YES so I added it, BUT now that I placed another “XOXO” sign on the mantle I’m wondering if it’s over kill. So now I need you to vote again. Do I keep the “XOXO” on the Valentine’s Day wreath, or remove it? Comment 👍🏼 for keep, or 👋🏼 to say good bye to it. Thank you for always having my back.😘😘

When teal isn’t a typical Valentine’s Day color, you improvise by doing an easy craft that incorporates your color. You gotta make it work!🙌🏼🙌🏼
.
I made this adorable heart banner for my mantle using colored yarn, leftover cardboard boxes, scissors, tape, and twine. It was super easy...I did it while binge watching Netflix.🤣🤣🤣
.
Because I try to incorporate teal into all my holiday and seasonal decor, I’ve learned to really step out of the box and get creative on how I incorporate the color into my decor. I challenge you to step out of the box and create your own heart-shaped banner. What colors will yours be?! Steps can be found in my stories.❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💗

Documenting the length of my hair on my feed because tomorrow I’m going for my first haircut and color in well over a year!! As you know, I’ve been rocking my curly mane since March of last year and loving every minute of it...BUT it’s been starting to get a little out of control!! My hair is everywhere!! Literally!!🤪
.
I’m excited because I’ll be getting my very first curly hair cut too. I made an appointment for an Ouidad cut but that might change once I go to the salon and they see my hair. We shall see what the stylist says. I’m honestly a little nervous. What if I come out of the salon looking like a French Poodle? No offense to all the cute poodles out there!🐩 
.
Patrick wants me to go short but I want to keep my hair long. In a perfect world, I would love my hair to look like Nicole Kidman’s from The Undoing. Do you think I can pull it off?!🙄
.
I’ll make sure to document my process tomorrow for all my other curly-haired friends out there. If you’ve done a curly cut before and have advice for me please share away!!!⬇️⬇️⬇️
