Gift Guide: For the alcohol-free host 💌

As more and more people adopt the sober or sober-curious lifestyle, we started asking ourselves a question: what should we bring as a “thank you” to hosts that isn’t that good ol’ go-to bottle of wine? Turns out, there are tons of very chic and truly thoughtful gifts that make a great replacement for alcohol when you want to bring something to your host. Read below to see our top suggestions for crowd-pleasing presents that say “I really get you” (and also “I have *great* taste” 😉).

‍

1. A stunning flower arrangement

Grab a bunch from your local florist, or pull one together from the blooms you find at Trader Joe’s — that works, too! 

‍

2. Planted herbs

Feeling “spicy”? Planted herbs are an elevated (and very useful) gift to bring your hosts! 

‍

3. Mocktail kits

Just because someone’s not drinking alcohol, doesn’t mean they won’t love a fancy bev! Cheers to the party with a mocktail kit or a case of tasty non-alcoholic beverages for sipping or saving.  

‍

4. Fun party games

There’s something very “grown-up”-feeling about having a collection of cool games. See some of our team’s top picks for party games here. P.S. a fun puzzle can also be a very chic and unique gift! 

‍

5. Coffee beans

We’re buzzing about this one… give your hosts the gift of being awake and alert with your favorite coffee bean. 

‍

6. Succulent plants 

Simple home decor is a totally thoughtful way to go! Succulent plants are a great option because they’re easy to take care of and make the perfect green accent to any space. 

‍

7. A deliciously scented candle

Maybe our personal favorite… who doesn’t love a good candle? Bonus points if you find one at a local farmers market or store that truly reminds you of the host! 

‍

8. A sleek charcuterie board

They’re the ultimate host… they should have the equipment to prove it! A wood charcuterie board is the kind of gift that will have even the other guests ooh-ing and ahh-ing. 

‍

9. Chocolates

When in doubt, give chocolate out. Because… well… do we really need an explanation for this one?? 

‍

10. Fancy salt or olive oil

Flaky salt or a premium olive oil are all the rage and are a great gift for foodie friends or the trendsetting host!
