For the Host or Hostess

For many, planning a party is more fun than the actual event. If you know someone who finds every excuse to hold a get together, consider finding a gift that will take the next party to the next level.

While it’s typical that they already own the basic items that are efficient in entertaini­ng, here are some ideas that may enhance their gatherings or make planning easier.

Serving Dishes

Is the person on your list a snackfood aficionado? If so, they will likely benefit from new serving platters. Look for plates that have several sections to separate the variety of offerings. Try to imagine their home’s decor and find a style that blends well with the current scheme. Of course, you should choose items that are dishwasher safe to make cleanup easier for the host or hostess. A full set featuring plates, bowls and glasses can also be a welcome present this holiday. The upgrade in dishware will provide a reminder of your wholesome idea for both get-togethers and their family meals throughout the year.

Sound Systems

Music is a common staple at nearly every party. Allow the host or hostess to express themselves with a wireless sound system that can be spread throughout the home. Many units have the frequency to distribute music to speakers arranged in different rooms. When an entire sound system isn’t in your budget, a quality Bluetooth speaker can suffice. Check ratings for a model that connects different smart devices easily, so guests can quickly sync up and play their favorite tunes. Another specificat­ion to consider is buying a waterproof unit, especially if the parties feature a swimming pool.

Livestream Camera

Give your party planner a livestream camera to document epic events and capture memories with their closest friends. These unique gadgets are efficient in obtaining footage and sounds and portraying them to a live audience or recording the party for later viewing. Look for a quality model that boasts a high-definition view and records crystal-clear sound.
