LOCAL GIFT GUIDE FOR HOLIDAY HOST
Paige Hull
We were taught never to show up to a holiday event empty-handed. Your host or hostess put a lot of effort into gathering everyone together so wouldn't it be nice to greet your host with a little token of appreciation? We've rounded up our favorite local products that would make a great gift and they're all under $50.
RVT HANDMADE COLLECTION LAVENDER SCENTED CANDLES:
We might be a little biased, but these are our go-to host gift. Our candles are hand-poured and men and women alike can enjoy them. The lavender scent will help the host relax after all the guests have left and the clean-up is done. You can relax knowing that these candles are only $28.00. Shop them here.
STASH CO WINE WRAP IN ASSORTED LEATHERS:
If your host is a wine lover, these assorted leather wine wraps from Stash Co. make a beautiful gift and are priced between $12.00-$20.00, depending on the type of leather. These wraps are so unique and your host will be able to use it time and time again. Shop them here or visit the Stash Co. store at West Ave River Oaks.
