Enjoy this list of 15 Hostess Gift Ideas that you can buy or make for less than $30. A great way to say "Thank You" during the holiday season.
The holidays are a time for giving thanks to those you love, and to all the people who touch your life during the year. When invited to a party I always try to bring a little gift. Sometimes it's just a bottle of wine or something I've baked or cooked for the party.
Today's post is a handy list of some ideas that may help you with your gift-giving list. For each section, I've given you two ideas on things you can buy and one you can make if you feel so inclined.

Great assortment of ideas. I got me a 99 cent pointsetta on our trip to home depot this morning. So now I'm decorating for Christmas. Had to tell you - already shared my DIY Christmas tea with family in Wa. State and the ladies here at the post office -they all loved it. That was a fun project and so glad made it for gift giving. Thanks!
