Hostess gifts and IKEA

Here is a few quick ideas for hostess gifts from IKEA.  Nothing expensive just a little gift to say thank you for having us.  Everything is under $10. 

You can't go wrong with Christmas napkins.  They are the best gift as you use and discard. They have a variety of designs.

Tea towels are nice. Especially festive ones.

Not everyone enjoys scented candles. Or they have their favorite scents.  So maybe consider white taper unscented ones.

Maybe pick up a few of gift bags for bottles of wine.

Hope this helps. It is also a good idea to have a few items on hand.  Napkins and gift bags already at home could save some time and energy!

Favorites Pins from Pinterest

People are spending hours on Pinterest.  We think it might be the easiest way to suck-up an evening.  I'll just pop in for a minute and look for XYZ.  Three hours later we haven't found XYZ but we have added at least ten pins to our various boards.  Time just seems to get away from us. You know you have been there and done that.  So we thought we'd add to your evening of pinning by sharing some of our favorite pins.  Here it goes:

Oh we should add that these pins were not unanimous. The decision was we could all add our own favourites to the mix. In no particularly order.
