Even though hosting a Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah dinner can be fun, it's also nice to just simply be a guest. If you will be a dinner guest this holiday season, bringing a thoughtful hostess gift is thoughtful and greatly appreciated. A nice bottle of wine, homemade baked goods or a lovely bouquet of flowers is always well received. However, if you are running short on time and want to bring something a little different this year, here are my top ten stylish hostess gifts under $40:
One. Jonathan Adler’s Utopia Elephant Mug – perhaps filled with flowers, chocolates or favorites teas.
Four. A Stylish Personalized Plate by La Plate – Just add homemade holiday cookies and this makes a very thoughtful and chic hostess gift.
Five. Elephant Letterpress Stationary at Paper Source – Who doesn’t love receiving exquisite letterpress notecards?
Nine. Monogrammed Salt & Pepper Shakers by Dabney Lee – So fresh and fun… perfect for the hostess that has everything!
Ten. Wembé Soaps from the Amazon - Love that they are 100% natural and organic. Who wouldn’t want one?
Giving you a jump on your holiday shopping, the nice folks at Wembé Soaps are giving away a Frutal Energizing Set of their luxurious soaps to not one, but two lucky Simplified Bee Readers. The combination of these three frutal blends, mango, citric and passion fruit invigorate, emolliate and cleanse skin naturally.

Thank you for linking up your giveaway! Sadly I was a day late on this too =( If I could have entered I would pick the honey jar just because of the text: Our Honey is the bee's knees. Best I've heard in a while!! (and very befitting of this blog too ;)
