Need a Halloween Hostess Gift? This one is Easy & Boo-tiful

Halloween is only a few weeks away!   If there's a holiday party on your calendar, NOW is the time to get that hostess gift ready.

(Sure, you can wait until the day OF the party, but I can guarantee same day hostess gifts are ALWAYS much harder to pull off. Besides, we want you to have enough time to get ready and look fabulous for the event!)

For the hostess with the mostess, consider giving a fun AND functional gift that is also downright boo-ti-ful:

A glass cloche (sometimes called a bell jar) filled to the brim with assorted mini pumpkins, gourds, ornamental Indian corn, candy corn and whatever other goodies you might have on hand.

Why This Halloween Hostess Gift Works

This gift is a winner for many reasons:

● Thanks to autumn's vibrant colors and a variety of textures, the presentation is gorgeous! 

● It's an easy gift for the hostess to receive---no additional attention necessary. 

● Once the cloche is done holding the festive fall goodies, it can be reused many times in the future for succulents....or cheeses...or pinecones....

●  It takes a mere minutes to assemble!  Turn the glass top upside down and fill it with mini pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn, candy corn... Once filled, simply invert it on to the base.

A Few Tips to Make this Hostess Gift Idea Your Own 

● Select any vessel you like!  A large glass container or a mason jar would have worked just as well.

● When assembling, place the most delicate things in FIRST so that when you invert the glass top, the fragile items sit on the top of the heavier pumpkins and gourds.

● Mix it up!  Variety in the contents make it more interesting.

● Avoid putting any items in that have a short shelf life.  Adding a few flowers in might be pretty, but they won't last long.  Similarly, skip over any candies that might attract ants!

As always, don’t overthink it!  Just have fun putting together something special for someone special and I’m sure it will be boo-tiful!
