Make Hosting for the Holidays Easier With These Gifts for Yourself
Houseguest season is upon us. These little gifts will help.
Family is wonderful and all, but when all of that family is in your space, things can start to feel a little... cramped. The trick to hosting is to surround yourself (and your guests) with things that feel special. From an art-adorned diffuser to noise-canceling headphones and perfect tableware, these selections will help you get ready for holiday guests, and make their stay that much more comfortable. Bonus: you get to hang onto the goods once the holidays are over.
