Wondering what to get for the host with the most? We found some perfect presents for friends and family who love to entertain.

1. Gourmet Food Gift
For the host who has it all, offer to bring dessert and order something extra special. Just launched in Canada, Goldbelly sells iconic North American foods such as Ina Garten’s Barefoot Contessa coconut cake, black and white cookies from Manhattan’s William Greenberg Desserts and St-Viateur bagels from Montreal. Items ship anywhere in the country in as little as two days and come packaged on dry ice or at room temperature.

2. Pretty Dessert Plates
For these Twelve Days of Christmas dessert plates, Thai artist Phannapast Taychamaythakool brings the classic holiday carol to life with vibrant colors and whimsical animals. Glazed stoneware with hand-painted decals.

3. Cocktail Shakers
Sheila Bridges’ iconic Harlem Toile adds splash to this enamel and brass shaker.

4. Glass Markers
Bright markers made from Bavarian merino wool, so you can keep track of your wine glass.

5. Cypress Incense
Citrus and floral hits over notes of Japanese cypress for a woodsy aroma.

6. Guest Towels
Poppies in festive red and green are block-printed onto white linen Gisele guest towels; a scalloped edge is a pretty touch.

7. Candle Holders
Pretty candles with orange wicks and colorful wax oak leaves.

8. Table Candles
Featuring elongated bubbles on a slender stem, the mid-century modern–inspired Venezia glass taper candleholders come in three sizes and six colorways.

9. Cocktail Picks
Spear garnishes like olives with charm-topped cocktail picks. Cocktail picks are ideal gifts for hosts.
