Charming DIY Hostess Gifts You Can Make for the Holidays

The holidays are a time of warm gatherings and parties with friends and family. As you prepare for these festive events, you might be thinking about what jewelry you are going to make to coordinate with your Christmas sweater or dress. You might also be thinking what dish you are going to make or dessert you will bring. Another consideration is whether you bring a gift for the host/hostess, and if so, what might that be?

One really nice gift is that of memory wire wine charms. Everyone can use these, they are easy to make, and even easier to personalize. The foundation of them is ring memory wire which you then add beads to and a charm of your choosing. The charm can represent something special to your host such as their initials, a hobby, or a love (such as dogs, cats, flowers, etc.). You can make them in a set of 4, 6, or 8.

Similar to wine charms are napkin rings. You can actually make them the same way as a wine charms, just use small size bracelet memory wire instead of ring size. Again, you can personalize these for your recipient by the style of charm you choose to put on them.

Bookmarks also make lovely host/hostess gifts, especially if your host loves to read. An advantage of a bookmark is how quick and easy it is to make. You can add a little dangle of pretty chain and then put a charm or bead on the end. If you know their birthdate, you can represent their birthstone color in beautiful PRESTIGE Crystal.
