Summer’s a time for travel, visits and parties. Make your hosts happy and be a gracious guest by bringing them a gift. Eschew bottles of wine and flowers, and consider one of these cheery hostess gifts instead. They range in price from $5 to $63.
Edible gifts are real pleasers. Jake & Amos’ canned pickles, jellies and salsas are tasty and perfect for summertime giving. They’re sold in homey glass jars that incite smiles.
Pictured is Jake & Amos’ spicy corn salsa ($5 for a 16-ounce jar). It’s thick, peppery and made with five vegetables, including jalapeños. The Freckled Frog gift shop at 14277 Mountain Road in Glen Allen is a great destination for this and other Jake & Amos products.
Your host will win big with this Texas Hold ‘Em poker set ($63). It’s made by Ridley’s Games Room and sold at Mongrel in Carytown. Its bold graphic box makes it super stylish and perfect for leaving out all the time.
The same could be said for these vivacious, screen-printed Max & Ludo towels by Famille Summerbelle. They’re $30 each and made in the UK. You’ll find them at Jolly Good Home in DéCOR.
