18 Host Gifts That Look Straight Out Of 'Big Little Lies'

Stylish picks for the equally stylish entertainer

'Tis officially the season for gift-giving. For us, that's a full month in which we'll be providing gift ideas for everyone on your list with our Unwrapped holiday gift guides. So make your holiday shopping a breeze this season, and let us help you find gifts for all the people in your life.

Do you have a host extraordinaire on your holiday list? You know, that friend with impeccable taste, whose house exudes Big Little Lies decor energy and throws some of the chicest dinner parties and gatherings around. The one you can't gift just any bottle of wine. It's with these discerning people — who also obsessively watch the HBO drama revolving around the secret lives of five Monterey moms — in mind that we've assembled the best host gifts to give the cooks, entertainers, and decor-lovers in your circle.

Ahead, 18 gifts — ranging from surreal prints featuring bored housewives with secrets of their own to cheeky decor and stylishly packaged food — that will guarantee you'll get an invite back again.
