Can’t Bring a Hostess Gift This Summer? Send a “Host-Less” Gift Instead

For most people, summer is a season of travel. But this summer, of course, is going to look a lot different than past years, whether that means the cancellation of your exotic trip to a far-flung locale or simply that you can’t visit family and friends for a long holiday weekend. And with this comes the loss of one of our favorite traditions of those weekend visits, the hostess gift—bringing along a carefully chosen token of your appreciation as a way of saying “thank you.” So even if you can’t visit friends this summer, you can still send them one of the fun, summer-themed hostess gifts below—let’s call them host-less gifts—that will be sure to bring a smile to your loved ones, whether they’re actually hosting you or not.
