Homemade Treats or Boxed Candies

Nothing tastes better than a homemade treat! Thank your host or hostess with homemade treats such as fudge or cookies. Made with love, homemade treats show your level of thoughtfulness and just how much you care.

It's also a great time to get creative! Maybe there's a recipe that will become a favorite. We always look forward to getting holiday toffee from our friends! Take your time to prepare these treats to make them taste delicious and special - making test cookie batches is our favorite holiday tradition here at Balsa Circle! You can further include the recipe with the homemade treat in a gift box in case your host or hostess wants to make the same in the future. 

Candles and Candle Holders

Real or LED candles are perfect for the holidays! Gifting your host or hostess with a metallic candle holder will melt their hearts and make them appreciate your gesture. It is because candles add a romantic feel to the home and its interior. They can also be used for holiday celebrations, Thanksgiving, New Year parties, and so on.

For home decor or party decorations, pair candles with Balsa Circle candle holders - they are sure to add a cozy feel to any living space. They are also very affordable and serve as the extra touch of elegance! Surprise your host or hostess with a candle holder, it's sure to be most appreciated.

Artificial Plants

With the holidays upon us, artificial plants such as succulents in glass terrariums can be a great holiday gift idea for your host or hostess. Beautiful artificial plants like succulents can serve as Thanksgiving centerpieces for your host or hostess as well. It will be much appreciated if your host or hostess is particularly interested in interior decor. At Balsa Circle, our succulents can naturally be used as centerpieces for several holiday events.

Fabric Napkins and Napkin Rings

Sequined or velvet napkins with napkins rings make truly unique host or hostess gifts. Especially when you gift them with one they would seldom get by themselves. Fabric napkins are such a treat - the perfect thank you gift for someone who loves to throw parties! 

Crafted from high-quality luxe velvet or sparkly sequin fabric, our lovely napkins will be much appreciated by your host or hostess. They can use these napkins to set a welcoming party tabletop at home or use them for special holiday events. You can't go wrong with a neutral color like silver or champagne.

Sequin or velvet napkins with napkin rings are also very affordable and worth the investment.  Show your level of appreciation to your hosts or hostesses by shopping for these unique napkins!

Wine or Non-alcoholic Cider

Your host or hostess is sure to appreciate a nice bottle of wine or non-alcoholic cider. After a long week of preparation, a nice bottle of wine will help your host or hostess relax. Non-alcoholic cider is also suitable for stress management, relaxation, and is an excellent choice for good health. So, we believe a holiday gift idea like this one will make your host or hostess happy. If you are working on a budget, it is also a great choice to splurge on without having to spend a ton of money. Most non-alcoholic cider bottles are incredibly affordable and budget-friendly. Some wine bottles do not cost much but taste great as well, so you might choose to opt for one. Have a favorite?
