Christmas Gift Ideas for the Home and Hostess (2024)

Today I’m sharing a lovely collection of Christmas gift ideas for the home for 2024 — all of which would make great host and hostess gifts, housewarming presents, gifts for her, or wedding gifts, as well!

I love gifting anything that makes life a little easier and more beautiful, so gifts for the home are my favorite things to give (and receive).

Whether you’re looking for a special present to bring warmth and style to someone’s living space, or need a lovely host or hostess gift for your next holiday gathering, this year’s Christmas gift guide for the home has you covered.

A gathering of the best Christmas gift ideas for the home, from cozy decor and kitchen essentials to the perfect host and hostess gifts and holiday presents for anyone who loves a welcoming home

2024 Christmas Gift Guide for the Home, Host & Hostess

My gift guide includes unique and affordable gifts for just about everyone on your list:  the home decorator, home chef, host, coffee aficionado, gardener, and more.

1. Home Decor

  • Throw Blankets: Soft, luxurious throw blankets are always a wonderful gift choice, adding warmth and style to the living room and bedroom.
  • Scented Candles: A beautifully-packaged candle with a holiday fragrance like cinnamon, amber, or pine creates an inviting atmosphere in the home.  I always choose beeswax or soy candles with lead-free wicks.
  • Decorative Pillows: Pretty throw pillows in neutral shades are a great way to refresh living room decor for the winter.

2. Kitchen and Dining Essentials

  • Gourmet Olive Oil Set: A collection of high-quality olive oils makes a fantastic gift for anyone who loves to cook or entertain.
  • Cheese Board Set: Elevate their next gathering with a stylish charcuterie or cheese board set, complete with knives and serving accessories.

  • Elegant Serving Tray: A decorative serving tray is both practical and beautiful, perfect for entertaining or adding a touch of style to coffee tables.  See my post, Coffee Table Decorating Ideas for 2025, for more ideas.

3. Host and hostess gifts

  • Personalized Wine Bottle: A bottle of their favorite wine with a custom label adds a special touch, and is perfect for the host or hostess who loves entertaining.
  • Kitchen Towels: Pretty kitchen dish towels make a practical and thoughtful gift that adds a bit of charm to their home.
  • Potted Herb Plant: A small potted herb, like rosemary or thyme, makes a lovely and aromatic addition to any kitchen.

4. Luxury gifts

  • Diffuser with Essential Oils: A diffuser, paired with a few favorite essential oils, can bring a calming, spa-like atmosphere to the home.
  • Slippers and Robes: Soft slippers and robes in different sizes for your hosts or for overnight guests to use are thoughtful and cozy.
  • Coffee or Tea Gift Set: A set of artisanal coffee or teas, paired with a pretty mug, makes a beautiful gift for anyone who loves a warm beverage.

5. Holiday-themed gifts

  • Christmas Ornaments: A beautiful ornament is a lovely keepsake, reminding the recipient of your thoughtfulness year after year.
  • Front Door Wreath: A holiday wreath is a wonderful way to welcome guests and add a touch of seasonal cheer to the home.  See my post, Beautiful Christmas Wreath Ideas for 2024, for inspiration.
  • Gingerbread House Kit: Fun for both adults and kids, a gingerbread house kit is a playful gift that brings the joy of creating and decorating together.
