Summertime is the perfect time for social gatherings. You may enjoy hosting some of these events yourself, but getting an invitation to someone else’s get-together can be even more fun. You don’t have to do the work—all you have to do is show up!
Going empty-handed isn’t very neighborly, though. You may ask what you can bring, but many hosts will kindly say to just bring yourself. If you’d still like to take a little something to thank your host for the event, we’ve got some of our favorite hostess gifts for you here.
A candle makes a good gift for almost anyone, so if you’re not sure what to take, try this Capri blue candle from Anthropologie. Featuring a shimmering Capiz vessel and a hammered metal lid, it infuses any space with Capri Blue’s beloved Volcano scent. Enjoy traces of tropical fruits, sugared oranges, lemons, and limes, with a hint of exotic mountain greens.
If you’d like to give your hostess a message in a fun format, try these custom message shortbread cookies.

You can’t go wrong with these heavy-gauge stainless steel mixing bowls. They’re indispensable for kitchen prep and can nest inside each other for convenient storage. Each one features fold-down rings for easy hanging as well. The lids are plastic and safe in the top rack of the dishwasher, whereas the bowls are completely dishwasher safe.
