OXO Vacuum Wine Preserver with Two Stoppers

Everyone brings wine for the party host, but this OXO wine preserver will last long beyond the night. The tool comes with two stoppers and a stainless steel hand pump to remove oxygen from a bottle and preserve wine for longer. When you’re ready to reopen the bottle, all you have to do is push the tab on the top of the stopper to release the vacuum seal.

This festive cookie tin is a surefire way to stay on the holiday host’s nice list. Target’s annual Christmas collection with British brand Marks & Spencer is always popular, and this year’s collaboration is no exception. This 7-ounce tin is designed to look like a mailbox for Santa’s letters, and the delicious chocolate chip cookies inside are shaped like miniature envelopes. 

Hearth & Hand with Magnolia Round Wooden Paddle Serving Board

Every host could use another serving tray, and this one is shockingly affordable. The paddle is 10 inches in diameter and has a built-in hole in the handle for easy hanging. The board comes in two shades of acacia wood and is perfect for serving charcuterie boards and other snacks and appetizers for a crowd.

The glass ornament is just 4.25 x 1.75 inches in size and comes with a gold loop at the top so they can easily hang it on a Christmas tree. The soy sauce label is written in glittery gold, ensuring the ornament stands out, and it’s only $4 at Target.

This gift set is ideal for the baker in your life. It comes with a green silicone spatula, a white and red kitchen towel, and a stainless steel cookie dough scoop. The utensils both have acacia wood handles for visual appeal, while the machine-washable white flour sack towel has a red border, too.

Ferrero Rocher Christmas Chocolate Gift Tree

When in doubt, give them chocolate. Ferrero Rocher chocolates are truly delicious, and this festive box makes a great host gift during this time of year. The individually wrapped milk chocolate truffles are filled with creamy hazelnut filling, crunchy hazelnut pieces, and crispy wafers. Snag this 12-piece Christmas tree-shaped box for less than $10 at Target.

Threshold Almond Croissant Figural Candle

Candles are a classic host gift, and this lifelike one looks just good enough to eat. Aside from the wick in the center, this 12-ounce paraffin wax candle looks exactly like an almond croissant.
