I Take Gifting Very Seriously — Here Are My Favorite Gifts For Party Hosts

Williams Sonoma Classic Stripe Aprons ($30)

As an amateur home cook, I've ruined so many T-shirts and loungewear with red sauce and oil stains in the kitchen. While I wouldn't think to invest in an apron myself, I'd be delighted to receive a chic one, especially with an added monogram. This high-quality, striped apron from Williams Sonoma is made of thick cotton and has roomy front pockets.
