THE EDIT Haute Hostess

SURPRISE YOUR HOST WITH CREATIVE GIFTS THAT GO BEYOND BASICS

By Melissa Puppo

BUNDLE OF JOY

Cotton blanket ($125),

Wasi Clothing, wasiclothing.com

Made ethically and sustainably in

Los Angeles, this 100-percent cotton blanket pays homage to Inti, the Incan sun god worshipped as the world’s source of light and warmth. The textile’s rich color palette, abstract design, and super soft feel will bring comfort to any home for the holidays. —Abigail Duffy, web editor

IN BLOOM

Le Mini round ($49), Venus et Fleur, venusetfleu.com I love the idea of gifting roses that last a year, and Venus et Fleur makes it easy with lovely offerings that exude elegance and style. Instead of a bouquet, opt for the minis from the Continent Collection. These pint-sized picks are ideal for those with an affinityor a specific detination. —Melissa Puppo, managing editor

MAKE A WISH

The Wishing Basket ($39),

Expedition Subsahara,

expeditionsubsahara.com Handmade from cattail stalk and recycled materials, wishing baskets like this one are said to be a space for wishes to come true. Plus, it’s a hostess gift that gives back: 20 percent of every sale is earmarked to build a girls’ STEAM school in Senegal. —Kristen Desmond LeFevre, senior editor

BOTANICAL BEAUTIES

Flower pressed shortbread cookies ($48 for a dozen), Loria Stern, loriastern.com Nobody needs one more “thing,” so I tend to gift something consumable but creative and luxe. These edible-botanical, hand-crafted shortbread cookies by L.A.-based baker Loria Stern are not only melt-in-your-mouth delicious, they are as gorgeous as a petite garden. Not surprisingly, Stern grows and harvests many of the flwers herself. Check out some of her seasonal and vegan creations as well—while they last. —Daphne Nikolopoulos, editor in chief

READY TO POP

Poppin’ Off popcorn seasoning kit ($3), Cravings by Chrissy Teigen, cravingsbychrissyteigen.com For that moment when any host or hostess is ready to relax and spend a day on the sofa binging a series or two, this popcorn seasoning set will liven up their couch concessions. —K.D.L.

LEMON SQUEEZY

Whipped honey with lemon ($18 for 12 oz.), Savannah Bee Company, savannahbee.com; Meyer lemon Moravian cookies ($10.49 for 4.75 oz.), Dewey’s Bakery, deweys.com. I’m always on the hunt for lemon treats when I travel, and these are two of my favorite finds. Saannah Bee Company uses organic lemon oil to add tartness to its honey. And the Moravian cookies from Dewey’s, which I discovered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, are the perfect accompaniment to tea. —Mary Murray, executive editor
