You know and love them. Every family, coworker and friend group has a perpetual host, otherwise known as the person whose home feels like your second home. This person is always on top of planning, organizing and gathering the masses, somehow doing it with ease. Their home is always filled with food, decorations, good music and a warm atmosphere that makes every get-together feel special. (And if you’ve ever hosted a gathering, you know how hard it can be to coordinate everything . . . that’s why these people are so extraordinary!)
Most perpetual hosts have entertaining nailed down and should be considered experts of their craft, but that’s not to say there aren’t things to elevate their home (and yours!). These people deeply appreciate home decor and general home goods. As such, there’s no better housewarming gift than something they’ll use for hosting!
