Holiday Special: Friendsgiving Hostess Gift Boxes

How are you going to customize your holiday hostess boxes this year?

For the Baker

With a little help from our friends over at IZZE, our favourite brand of sparkling juice that come in the most adorable bottles and cans, we assembled each color-coordinated box around a glowing and fruit-forward IZZE taste, and filled them in with cute items that were perfectly on-theme for each type of hostess. Because, after all, who does not love a refreshing sip of a sparkling juice? Keep scrolling to find out how we put our IZZE hostess gift boxes together. You’ll want to remember these as you start RSVPing to your Friendsgiving parties this month…

About making these boxes the best part is that the options are endless. IZZE offers 8 different flavors that come in lots of different fun colors, so you can customize your hostess box to make it color-coordinated and absolutely personalized whatsoever. Now, we want to know…

‘Tis the season to get a pop of pumpkin! The orange-hued box is for the hostess who loves to bake, and each piece is inspired by the cheerful color of our favourite IZZE Sparkling Clementine cans. We included a cute pair of cupcake liners measuring spoons, and a cookie cutter. We tied it all off with some twine string. In this box to provide your hostess something to whip up, you can even include your favourite baking mix for an extra touch.

The first inspiration behind our hostess gift boxes were the bright and cheerful colours of three of our favourite IZZE Sparkling Juice tastes: Sparkling Blackberry, Sparkling Pomegranate, and Sparkling Clementine. Not only is this autumn color palette for producing gifts, ideal, but these cute beverages look great on screen and winter get together. Then it was time to collect supplies for each box. Here is what we put inside each one…

For the Cocktail Connoisseur

With a sprig of dried corn and a pop of cherry red here there, this hostess box is a picture-perfect way to show your gal pal just how much you love her. We used cans of Sparkling Pomegranate IZZE as the starting point when putting together these boxes, then added mini spatulas, miniature cast iron skillets, a kitchen timer, and a red and white striped oven mitt. After everything in a rustic wood crate box, we finished it off with a bow that was twine and crinkle paper. What cook would not love while working out in the kitchen to sip on those pomegranate refreshments?

And what better accoutrement to provide the cocktail connoisseur than the drink mixes? We adorned this gift box with a drink stirrer, a cocktail strainer, ice tongs, paper straws, and a bottle of our spirit. If we do say so ourselves, this box is sure to get the party started. Cheers!

With the most festive season upon us, our calendars are quickly filling up with autumn dinner parties, Friendsgiving get-togethers as well as holiday festivities… It will be December before we know it! It may be quite the undertaking when we are talking about keeping the house clean and tidy constantly, and cooking dishes for dozens of guests. This year, we’ve decided to up the ante to show by making the cocktail connoisseur: the baker, the cook, and customized boxes for three kinds of party-thrower just how much we value our hosts and hostesses.
