The holiday time calls for frequent gatherings, at-home parties, and impromptu get-togethers. We all know organizing celebrations can be quite stressful, so when you are invited to someone’s house, bringing a little gift for the host is always a nice gesture.
But during the busy holiday season, it's hard to figure out what and where to go pick up this gift. Luckily with a little TLC and creative juices, the grocery store can be your one-stop shop for a host gift bundle. We’ve compiled seven mini gift bundles perfect for gifting the host with the most.
1. Cranberries + Oranges + Cinnamon Sticks + Cloves
Is it even the holidays if your house doesn't smell like cranberries and cinnamon? Fill a mason jar with your favorite holiday scents (or follow our recipes) for a festive simmer pot. Wrap a ribbon around the neck with handwritten instructions.
