Creative ideas for hostess gifts

(WXYZ) - Struggling to think about what to give the hostess of this year’s holiday party? Here are a few ideas from Sandy Sandler, founder of Crafters 4 Kids.

You can use items from around the house to dress up simple gifts.

Decorate a jar of red peppers and oil with some cloth and a bow.

You can also have the kids help you stick Christmas beads on cinnamon sticks and give them away at a holiday party.

You can dress up a plain ornament with some fancy ribbon and glitter.

Homemade playdough, wrapped in a festive Christmas cloth with cookie cutters attached, will help keep the kids busy at any holiday party.
