Hey Hey! Have you ever hosted a big dinner at your home? Or maybe Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner? It’s wonderful but, honestly it’s also exhausting! There is joy in it but behind the scenes there is so much work and preparation that goes into a holiday dinner and celebration. If you aren’t hosting for the upcoming Holiday season but have been invited to someone’s home, you certainly want to bring a Hostess gift to show your appreciation for all of their hard work. And what better way to say that than with a gift that speaks to relaxation. They’re going to need it!

You don’t want to create too much stress or work for yourself either so go with some easy items to give your hostess. These new American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand products, which are available exclusively at Walmart, are just the thing I needed in my hostess gift basket! They smell DIVINE and look great in anyone’s home. What else says relaxation to me? Chai tea. Mmmm, it’s delicious and calming and festive. Perfect. What next? I mean, you have a beautifully scented candle burning, a cup of warm Chai tea in your hand, what else could you need? A cozy blanket, of course! Maybe a crackling fire too, but that won’t fit in a gift basket 😉

Here’s how I put my Hostess gift together. I had this basket in my home already, being used for random things but it was like new, so I started with that, three American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand candles (one 19oz. apothecary jar-14.93, one 19oz tumbler-$14.93 and a smaller 12oz. apothecary jar-$10.93) in Fall fragrances, a jar with Chai tea, a cozy blanket plus a white pumpkin and a few other embellishments.

I’d be thrilled to receive any one of these American Home™ by Yankee Candle® brand candles which are also conveniently sold on Walmart.com. So many fragrances, prices and sizes to choose from! The Pumpkin Harvest Apple, Buttercream Frosting and Sugarcoated Cinnamon were my favorites. Mmmmm. I found the candles in the “Home Decor” section of my Walmart store. There’s a fairly large selection and also non-food fragrances like Mountain Escape, Shades of Fall and Sweet Lilac. You can browse all of the sizes and fragrances on the Walmart assortment page.

As a person who loves to host, I know how much work goes into it but also how much joy comes out of it. I love to make my home smell warm and inviting during Fall and these fragrances certainly do that!

Enjoy your upcoming Holidays and don’t stress about a hostess gift! It’s easy to make your own with the right products!
