Can you believe it’s already that time of year again?? The holidays are right around the corner, and I’m not sure about you, but it feels like 2016 has absolutely flown by!

Welcome to this year’s Girl Wonder Life Holiday Gift Guide series. I have a feeling this year is going to be the best yet. I’ve got quite a bit of content for y’all so I am kicking off things a little earlier. Each Thursday until Christmas, there will be a gift guide post for specific people in our lives.

Today I’ve rounded up gifts for the hostess in a variety of different budgets. Considering right around this time, the invites for holiday parties begin rolling in, so what better way to get in the gift giving mindset then with thinking about gifting the wonderful hostesses of these great shindigs.

Gifts for the hostess often seem like no brainers, but they can be too easy at times. I tried to get creative with this gift guide, especially since I’m getting married in January. Not just what others would want, but what I would find practical and useful if gifted any of the above.

One of the most practical gifts for the hostess, in my humble opinion is the candle wick trimmer – I cannot tell you how much I’ve needed this and never had one.

Of course you can never really go wrong with anything monogrammed, try these leather coasters or this personalized coffee mug.

You’ll be able to easily navigate all my gift guides this year, by finding them in one place, here. Be sure to bookmark the page, as you may not be ready to buy yet, but the time to start purchasing gifts will be here before we know it!
