Gift This and You’ll Land on Every Guest List

Pop-colored celebrations cordial set by Artland

‘Tis the season to rock the party circuit. We especially love this time of year because we can soothe our shopping addiction by snagging funky hostess gifts and amp up our wish lists at the same time. Color us shallow capitalists. That out in the open, we think the spirit of thanking the party thrower isn’t just about swinging by the wine store and grabbing anything sitting on the closest shelf (read: under 10 bucks). We’d prefer to do a little legwork and show our appreciation with present that resonates with her spirit, whether she’s playful, artistic, grumpy, schizo, whatever.

We’ve listed our initial go to’s this year based on personality type, but our list of cool finds is ever-growing so feel free to trump us with some scores of your own. And if you’re short on shopping time, we find the perfect Plan B is an off-the-radar bottle of booze — no one in their right mind returns the gift of a buzz on.

1. For the dessert lovers. Modern cordials hold sweets and sips. This set of six is stylish way to say “thanks for the invitation.” $25 for six.

2. For the hip-alicious. Utopia Williamsburg Vases pay tribute to the mecca of cool. They’re handmade, aka one of a kind (a la anyone you’ve ever met from this hood) and two-sided, with a hipster on one face and a hipster-ette on the other. We’d go on and on about just how amazing they are, but that would diminish their hotness. $38.

3. For the herbalist. Salt and pepper cellars make a très-chic gift. This set of four doubles as holders for dips, butters and more. $24.

4. For the sommalier. Word on the street is that the Euro-design on this stainless steel wine funnel aerates your vino, smoothes tannins, sieves sediment and gets you a beer while you watch TV. Okay, maybe not the beer, but everything else. $20.

5. For the designer/cook. This tea towel rocks — four words we’d never thought we’d say. It’s true. Check the design. We’d hang it just to give the kitchen some sex appeal. $19.

6. For the condiment queen. Something about stainless steel gives serving pieces a luxe touch. Take this crazy olive boat, for instance, which takes on a Nambé-like swagger when made of metal. $17.

7. For the couple. Pair two of these mini decanters for a twosome that likes a pimped-out table presentation and a good bottle of Cabernet. $12 each.

8. For the retro-fabulous. These endlessly chic mini bowls were first designed in 1936. We love them partly because you can do anything with them, including give them as a gift. $25.
