Localish Releases Holiday Guide With 16 Gift Ideas for Hosts

Localish published a holiday shopping guide on Tuesday, Nov. 3, listing 16 specific products for people who want to thank the hosts of upcoming gatherings. The online retailer, which participates in affiliate marketing programs, presented the items as ways to show appreciation for the effort involved in holiday entertaining. The guide is aimed at readers looking for gifts that are both functional and decorative.

The list includes a variety of kitchen and dining items. One entry is an olive oil set available at Williams Sonoma. This set contains two ceramic dipping bowls and two bottles of California Arbequina extra-virgin olive oil. The oils are blended with ingredients such as toasted garlic, VSOP balsamic vinegar, and herbs. Another suggestion is a black serving tray made from ebonized wood. The tray measures approximately 12 inches by 21 inches and features gold handles. It can be personalized with a last name or special word, a service that is free but takes about 10 business days to complete.

Other items on the list target specific household needs. A waterless cold-air diffuser set is included to help remove kitchen or pet odors. The set comes with five 15ml bottles of essential oil and is ready to use immediately. For those who enjoy coffee or tea, a matcha set is listed. This collection includes tools for sifting, whisking, serving, and cleaning up. A bread warmer basket is also featured. It consists of a terracotta warming stone and an oval seagrass basket designed to keep bread and tortillas warm during meals.

The guide also highlights personalized and unique serving ware. A stainless steel wine chiller is suggested as a replacement for traditional ice buckets. It keeps drinks cold without melting ice. Personalized pink shooters made from Himalayan salt are listed as a set of four. These glasses are described as durable and antibacterial. A heavy-duty cotton canvas tote bag is included for carrying groceries. The bag features dividers to keep produce separate and a cinch strap for holding flowers.

Luxury items appear throughout the list as well. A Sonora scented candle comes in a hand-blown glass vessel with colors ranging from celadon green to soft blue-gray. A FinaMill spice grinder is included, which uses interchangeable pods to keep spices separate. The guide also features a Minky Couture blanket made from plush, stretchy material. This item is presented as a way for hosts to relax after entertaining guests.
