The summer season means your calendar is filling up with parties—that is, parties with proper social distancing, disinfecting, and constant hand sanitizing. Even if the event is outdoors, you won’t want to show up empty-handed. Wine is expected. And you’ve been pretending like you’re an orange wine expert for too long already. So instead, bring an unexpected but equally thoughtful gift that goes far beyond the liquor aisle.
We rounded up essential kitchen goods that make party-throwing easier, coffee table books that double as chic decor, and the ultimate every-person gift: really fancy hand soap. Shop our edit of 50 perfect gifts for the hostess with the mostest, now.
