Favorite Things Party Gifts!
I hosted a Favorite Things Party this week. It was so much fun and there were some amazing gifts (my friends are so creative). The gifts are in the $50 dollar range and items my friends love and use. There was definitely a wellness gift theme to this year’s gifts (see magnesium spray and cervical pillows below :)) I’ve included a little cheat sheet below of what I served etc. so you an steal my idea and host this party too.

Appetizers and Party Drink

You know I love a Hugo Spritz. I ended up making these when ladies came in but had this cute recipe card from Etsy on my bar.

White Elephant Gift Exchange
Write down or print out numbers for all of your guests. I had all of the gifts everyone brought on my ottoman. We drew numbers at the beginning of the game. You pick a gift according to your number OR you can steal a gift that someone has already opened. We had a max steal number of 2 and then the gift was dead (not stealable) and whoever had #1 got to steal again at the end.
Favors and Free Gifts
I gifted little lip glosses as favors and shared some fun free swag I’ve received lately (see below!)
