The Hostess Gift Guide
May 31, 2022
Summer party season is upon us! Chances are you’ve hosted a dinner party or other gathering before, so you’ll know how much time and effort goes into making sure every last detail is perfect: from creating beautiful table-settings, designing a menu that’ll suit everyone’s tastes, to the clean-up after guests have gone home. Needless to say, there’s a lot to manage before, during and after the event. With that in mind, we’ve put together a gift guide full of thoughtful and unique gifts that’ll help show your appreciation for the hostess’ hard work.
Why not indulge your host with our decadent range of shortbread. Created in collaboration with the award-winning Shortbread House of Edinburgh, a family-run bakery renowned for their premium biscuits, these shortbread cookies will make the perfect pick-me-up. With over 90 ‘Great Taste Awards’ to their name, Shortbread House insist on making their products truly by hand, naturally only ever with the finest ingredients. Only the best for this host, right? With six indulgent flavours to choose from, they'll love sharing out these treats amongst their guests (or setting aside for themself when the celebration is over!).
A beautiful scented candle or invigorating room diffuser can be a lovely gift and is something to help your host relax and unwind after the party. What better place to start than with our gorgeous Fig, Vanilla & Cacao Candle? This opulent fragrance opens with crisp, fresh green fig enhanced by a sprinkling of bitter cacao and a luscious vanilla base. Amazing for creating balance and depth in their home, she’ll be sure to adore this signature scent. Or, why not opt for our Sandalwood, Cardamom & Oud Diffuser? Opening with fresh notes of cardamom and sparkling lemon, this decadent fragrance is balanced with a heart of orange blossom on a base of deep and rich sandalwood and oud. All our candles and diffusers are presented in exquisite gold foil embellished boxes so they hardly even need wrapping!
Everyone loves a new mug! So why not choose to enjoy a mug (or two!) for your host's favourite hot drink. Our gorgeous Sara Miller London mugs and teacups feature our vibrant signature prints with opulent bursts of colour from fuchsia pinks to turquoise and cornflower blues, all embellished with luxurious gold details. With over 20 designs to choose from you just can’t go wrong!
Why not gift your host a peaceful night’s sleep with one of our silk eye masks? With an assortment of ten eye-catching designs to choose from there is something to suits every personality and taste. Each luxury eye mask is wrapped delicately in tissue paper and presented in a stunning foil pressed gift box, making them the ultimate indulgence. As you’ll know silk is naturally soft against the skin, and works to retain moisture around the eye area, eliminating puffiness and reducing the signs of fatigue; with all of these benefits, it’s safe to say your host will be able to embrace a restful night in comfort and style.
Whatever you choose, we just know they’re going to love it!
"Embellish at every opportunity"
Hello! I’m Sara Miller, Creative Director and founder of Sara Miller London. I have over 10 years of experience working as a designer in the greeting card industry and decided a few years ago to take the plunge and set up on my own. Needless to say, it’s been an absolute whirlwind of a journey. With nearly 1000 products since our launch in Jan 2016 and numerous award wins (most recently winning the prestigious Best Licensed Fashion or Talent Brand for the third time in five years! Even going head-to-head with Becks) I still have to pinch myself that all this has really happened. I count my lucky stars that I can do a job I am so passionate about and hope that I continue to inspire others with my designs, making everyday a reason to live a colourful life.
