Flowers and potted plants make the perfect hostess gift. Seasonal flowers are easily available and brighten up any room. When you buy plants, you can choose tabletop plants like vines, herbs or cacti. Exotic plants with attractive flowers are also very good to give as hostess gifts.

Scented candles make for good hostess gifts too and you could create an aromatic gift hamper with potpourri, scented beeswax candles and aroma oil diffusers. Picture frames, elegant wine glasses, champagne flutes and bud vases are all practical gifts that your hostess can utilize if she entertains often.

You can also gift food items like desserts, wines, fine chocolate or fine liqueurs as gourmet gifts are popular hostess gifts. If you know that your hostess is fond of say, reading or gardening, you could choose a gift like books or a mini terrarium to match her interests. Gifting your hostess with a gift card for her favorite store will allow her the freedom to choose her gift.

Birthdays are another occasion when gifting is a tradition. There is a wide choice of birthday gifts available for all ages. Some of the top picks for birthday gifts are chocolates, pottery, photo frames, clocks, jewelry, trays, wine glasses, cosmetic bags and collectibles. Monogrammed hand towels, mugs, soaps and bags are also popular as hostess gifts or birthday gifts as these add a personalized touch.

Opening a present is a part of the excitement of receiving birthday gifts. Think outside the box for gift packaging that will leave the recipient duly impressed. Here is one packaging idea you can use for birthday gifts - on a large sheet of paper, with the copier set to the highest magnification, photocopy a dictionary page featuring a word that hints at the gift within for an exciting and novel gift wrapping. For movie buffs, fill a striped popcorn container with DVDs or movie tickets for a new flick.

Select fun and functional birthday gifts and hostess gifts to show that extra thought and love has gone into the selection.
