Finding the perfect gift for the host isn’t always easy. Whether you’re shopping for a friend who loves to entertain or the mastermind behind your Friendsgiving feast, it can be tricky to strike the right balance between thoughtful and practical. Sure, a bottle of wine is always appreciated—but sometimes you want something a little more special. At the same time, no one wants to give a gift that ends up gathering dust in a cabinet.

If you’re traveling and need something compact, try chic coasters, embroidered cocktail napkins, or a printed dish towel from Anthropologie—they’re small, stylish, and easy to pack. Feeling a bit more generous? A Le Creuset French press or a set of smoke-colored wine glasses from Estelle will definitely impress.

No matter your budget, travel plans, or host’s style, the list below has you covered. We’ve rounded up 20 top-rated, buzzworthy gifts that shoppers can’t stop raving about—each one guaranteed to earn you an invite back. Scroll on to shop them all, and bookmark this guide for every gathering on your calendar.
