Yael asked us: “any ideas for host/ess gifts that are: small and packable, can be acquired in multiples, non-perishable, and iconically DC?”
The early replies:
“Depending on price point, DC magnets or prints would be a great option! Lots of wonderful, local artists and DC-themed art at @ShopMadeInDC!”
“consider: mambo sauce that you can get in six packs”
“Try @terratorie (Terratorie Maps + Goods)! Also I know you said non-perishable, but I really love Capitol Candy Jar”
“I love gifting the neighborgoods kitchen towels.”
“Go to is a visit to @hillskitchendc where they have a ton of great host/hostess gifts.”
“It’s cherry blossom season. You can find tea towels at the Smithsonian gift shops – they have tons of stuff worthy of hostess”
“@SaltandSundry has plenty of options”
“White House Christmas ornaments. DC street map etched glassware (rocks, wine, etc). A go-go CD.”
“High quality stationary and journals from @appointedco – they have a line embossed with the DC flag”
“Cordial at the Wharf has 200ml bottles of Civic Vodka and Borough Bourbon, both from Republic Restoratives, DC’s own women-owned distillery”
“Old Bay (it’s not just enjoyed in B’more). Bonus: It’s not fragile or a liquid. Bigger grocery stores more have two sizes to choose from for your best price point. Add a tag noting what they can try it on: Mac & cheese, popcorn, any fried sweet or reg. potato item, pierogies….”
