Hosting a holiday party is no easy feat&mdash;find the perfect gift to say &ldquo;thank you&rdquo; this season.

Hosting and the holidays go hand-in-hand, and finding the perfect, unique yet functional gift for your host can be one of the most challenging parts. Of course, you could show up empty-handed, but that means disregarding guest etiquette&mdash;so, how do you make sure your gifts are actually thoughtful?&nbsp;
Wine bottles, coffee beans, and flowers are always reliable gifts, but this year we're offering up a suite of creative host gifts for the holidays. Basing your gift on your gracious host's hobbies, personality, and tastes is the perfect way to start. From reusable bouquets and handcrafted pottery to functional coasters and luxe olive oil, these gift ideas are more than just a formality between you and your host. 
Whether your host loves to cook or is an avid collector of unique decor, these gifts scream luxury and style. As you consider the best thank-you gift for your host, consider a L&rsquo;OFFICIEL-approved present that's sure to please.&nbsp;
