Picking out a gift to thank your holiday party host for their hospitality isn’t always easy. You want something that clearly delivers your message of appreciation, but not something so extravagant that things get awkward.
Here, we’ve asked some of the staff at Hour Detroit for the best local products they’ve ever given (or received) as the holiday party host. We hope it helps you as you try to find the perfect host gift this holiday season.
