Between all the holiday parties and events this season, it can be overwhelming to find creative and useful hostess gifts. Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. The best hostess gifts are items that feel elevated and special (something more than convenience store flowers), but aren’t too precious to actually enjoy (nothing too over the top). Our Gift Guide for the Hostess lists some personal favourites that any host would love to be gifted this holiday season – no re-gifting guaranteed!

We’re Alana Firestone & Jordy Fagan – the designers behind Collective Studio. We had the idea for Collective Studio long before we created it. Previously, we each owned our own design companies, but we began collaborating on projects when Alana was pregnant and on maternity leave.
