Staying for the Evening

When you're headed to your best gal pal's annual NYE soiree, bring something more memorable than flowers or a bottle of wine. Bring a unique and stylish houseguest thank you gift as a token of your appreciation for an evening well spent.

Copper Shot Cups

Hand-hammered from 100% recycled copper, these 2 oz copper shot glasses are sure to be a hit at your next party. Keep them chilled in an ice bucket so you will have no need to chill before pouring your tequila. For the connoisseurs, warm the cup in your hand and experience the copper's conductivity release the flavors and aromas in your favorite spirit as it warms to body temperature.

Wine Folly Master Guide

Madeline Puckett is your older, cooler cousin who has an apartment in the city and knows bartenders at the most fashionable bars. I'm in love with this girl and you will be too. She illustrates the wine world through graphics with tasting notes, pairing guides and color wheels. She makes learning wine easy and intuitive and helps give you the words to describe what you're tasting. Check out Wine Folly: Magnum Edition: The Master Guide!

Staying for the Weekend

You're part of the family when you're staying for the weekend. Bring something to contribute to the cheer of the weekend when considering what stylish houseguest thank you gift you should bring for your weekend hostess!

Olive Wood Cheese Board

The perfect size to fill will hors d'oeuvres and leave with your hostess when you go, consider bringing a snack board to contribute to any casual dining you'll be doing during the weekend. She'll never forget who gave her this gorgeous gift and she'll love using it at parties in the future and telling the story of where she got it. Check out our Olive Wood Cheese Board here!

Turkish Towels

I'm singing the siren's song of Turkish towels. They are thinner than the beach towels you usually find in the United States, and that's a good thing! They absorb moisture quickly and completely and dry very quickly as well. Because they are thin they roll up quite tightly so you can fit them in your suitcase without the added burden of a traditional beach towel. The best part? They are HUGE so it's cozy to wrap up in one after a swim. These make a great stylish houseguest thank you gift when visiting friends and family who live near the coast or on a lake, or when you're visiting during the summer. We have these towels in four colors.

Staying for the Week

If you're staying for the week you want to bring an appropriate gift to thank your hosts for their hospitality. Your budget for this sort of thank you gift should be higher than for shorter stays.

Handmade Copper Mule Mugs

As long as there is summer, the Moscow Mule will never go out of style. There are few pleasures in the worlds quite like the first sip of a crisp and limey Moscow Mule in the dog days of summer. The beauty of these handcrafted copper Moscow mule mugs is that they will never go out of style. Classic design and superior craftsmanship make these a stylish houseguest thank you gift that your host will treasure for years. Do your host a favor and pick up a pair of Vesper & Vine's 18oz Copper Moscow Mule Mugs.

Record Player and Smart Media Player

My husband and I gifted one of these to each set of our parents at the rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding. We included a record of the song they would be dancing to at our wedding, "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers with the gift. The gift was a hit with both sets of parents and the guests in attendance who saw the gift. It's generous enough to show you appreciate and care while providing lasting value and entertainment.
