Ah!! It’s finally summer. So much to celebrate, so much to experience. So much to miss (childhood summer break, why did we have to part? 😭). The evergreen thing about summer: so many events.
Today, we’re talking gift giving for these events. Specifically, summer hostess gifting. Whether it’s a barbecue, graduation, or just a get together: you don’t want to show up empty-handed.
While in Palm Springs, I did some thrifting, bakery shopping, and Saffron Marigold collaborating to give you amazing summer hostess gift giving ideas. Let’s dive in!

Find a Basket for the Gift
Summery gifts just look better in a basket. In Palm Springs, I found a lovely basket at Revival. This thrift store was so cute and organized! While searching for trinkets, I scored the perfect basket for 5 bucks.
Include Fresh Baked Goods
Gluten full or gluten-free, you can’t go wrong with baked goods. When you attend summer parties, you can contribute to all the eatables by bringing some bread.
Next to Revival, there was this cute French bakery called Peninsula Pastries. I grabbed a crunch-tastic baguette and some French butter for the gift basket.
Pair Something Delicious with the Baked Good
Recently, I went to the Pasadena Showcase House and browsed their gifts and goods. This amazing basil olive oil by Gourmet Blends made it home with me (yes, lol, I’ve already started using it — it’s amazing). In the gift basket it goes!
Add Something Pretty
Add pretty linens, table runners, napkins or candles to your gift basket. You can find all these things and more at Saffron Marigold. They are a fair trade, handcrafted, linen company based in California.
How pretty are these white floral table runner. and matching linens from Saffron Marigold? These linens are durable, 100% cotton, and fair trade made in India. And the Hand Block patterns: so precious and pretty! A total vibe.
Behold! The Perfect Summer Hostess Gift
Look at the finished product! We got the yummy baguette, the napkins, the olive oil, the butter. If I may be so bold, this gift looks amazing.
A gift made possible by thrifting, small businesses and fair trade? It can be done!
