Gift Guide

Find inspiration to make the gifts you give thoughtful and personal.

Host Gifts
When you are invited into someone's home or to an event, it is always polite to bring a small gift for the host. It doesn't have to be anything over the top, just keep it sweet and simple. Always consider your host, the season, the celebration and the theme.

  • ​Flowers or small plant - consider pet friendly options.

  • Beverages - wine, beer, spirits, coffee, tea, whatever your host's choice of drink. If you are unsure, bring your favourite to introduce to them.

  • Sweet treats - baked goods (homemade or store bought), candies or chocolates

  • Add a card or sweet note to whatever you bring to say thank you, congratulations or simply commemorate whatever the special event is.


Party Favours
When you are the one hosting, think of what you can send home with others that reminds them of your celebration. Keep it small and practical.

  • Sweet treat baggies or homemade goodies

  • Personalized items: candles, matches, magnets, etc.

  • Small flower arrangements or plants

  • Craft up something more personal to your talents and theme

Weddings

  • Cash - Cash is king! Newlyweds love a cash gift. Whether they are moving into a new home, starting a family, going on a honeymoon or just doing what they are already doing, this is the gift they can save or invest in exactly what they want. Obviously, give what you can, being there should be more important than the amount you give, however, if you are able, our advice is to consider covering the cost of having you attend. You likely won't know exactly what they are paying per guest as it depends on their style of catering and other happenings but on average we look at $100/person. 

  • Registry - Check to see if they have a registry so you are ordering items they have picked themselves.

  • Personalized / Monogrammed Items - Keep these neutral and practical (like hand towels, candles, cutting boards, etc.) Unless you know they will absolutely love it, try to avoid items that they would need to permanently display.

  • Don't forget to include a card to share well wishes and any special marital advice.
