how to prep for hosting for the holidays

the holidays can have so many dynamics, but despite hosting anyone stressful or feeling stressed in general, having these things on hand will make it fun backstage. and these are all on amazon, so they will arrive quickly. think of it as how wearing gym clothes makes working out just a bit easier. and i wish everyone the happiest holidays with the sweetest memories!

these things may seem extra but little things go a long way //

these clear glass votive holders are so elegant and tasteful

put these beeswax votives into the holders (did you know it cleans the air around you as it burns?)

the prettiest linen cocktail napkins

and here are some embroidered ones if you want to add extra charm

this makes the cooking easy and makes the house smell so cozy

this is a special component to making holiday cocktails extra memorable

this baking pan is so good and won’t leach chemicals into your food

to have this combo in the guest bathroom makes it feel extra homey and comfy

a rolling pin to make yummy pies and cinnamon rolls (i have already used mine)

pretty coasters to keep your furniture safe from water rings

this cocktail shaker has been highly recommended

put these pillow cases on your guest’s pillows unless you want them to leave :P

and last but not least, reward yourself with some you time in a cozy bath at the end of the day
