Showing appreciation to those who open their hearts and homes is common courtesy. When a bottle of wine or a delicious dessert doesn't seem like quite enough, it's time to consider a personalized gift that won't be forgotten.

1. Vanity Tray
A good hostess is always on the lookout for a beautiful bathroom accessory where she can display soaps, hand towels, perfume and anything else a guest might need. The gorgeous, clear acrylic Vanity Tray from Viv&Lou features a vinyl monogram in one of over a dozen colors. Also choose from a variety of fonts to showcase your hostess' initial(s).



2. Anchor Accessory Bag
Even the best hostess sometimes needs a break after pulling off the perfect soiree or dinner party. The Anchor Accessory Bag from Viv&Lou will get her to the beach, the school or the grocery store in style. The stylish pink bag is large enough to accommodate keys, cards, phone, lipstick and a lot more. The zipper closure keeps everything safe and out of sight. It even comes with a wristlet handle for easy carry. Free personalization includes your choice of thread color and font.



3. Market Tote
Any girl who knows how to throw a party also knows how to shop. The Market Tote by Viv&Lou guarantees she can do so with class. The tote is large enough to carry several bottles of wine or a week's worth of fruits and veggies from the farmer's market. The bag is collapsible, which makes it ideal for the car. Inside mesh pockets can hold keys, wallet, phone or even a baby bottle. The reinforced bottom and rubber feet show this tote's quality and durability. Personalization is always free at Viv&Lou, so choose the ideal thread color and font for your favorite hostess without delay.



4. Fancy Acrylic Keychain
The perfect party doesn't just magically come together. A Hostess with the Mostess generally spends hours in the car buying food and decorations. When she sees the Fancy Acrylic Keychain you gave to show your appreciation after the last party, she will remember that her friends appreciate the effort she makes to show them a good time. The three-initial design comes in more than a dozen colors and even a few glitter finishes.



5. Vinyl Decals
Personalized Vinyl Decals from Viv&Lou can be used almost anywhere, including car windows, notebooks, laptops, tablets, glass doors and almost any other hard surface. They come in several styles and can feature one or three initials.



Monogrammed gifts are the perfect way to say thank you for hosting any event. It's okay if you also want to bring wine or a dessert or even stay late to help with the dishes. In fact, it pretty much guarantees a future invitation.
