If someone is kind enough to share their home with you — especially if it's a fabulous house just steps from the beach — a thank-you gift is definitely in order! If you're short on cash, never fear. A heartfelt gift doesn't have to break the bank.Does the house have a sunny room that could use a dash of color? A glass sun catcher is a window ornament that will subtly liven up any room. Philadelphia glassblower extraordinaire Jim Loewer makes my favorite sun catchers. Sunlight enters the bullseye pattern of the handmade glass, casting a warm, colorful light around the room. The sun catchers are hand-blown, so each one has its own unique beauty.
Wine is always a fun, useful gift to give. Why not pair a lovely bottle or two with a practical carrying bag? Simply Bags makes an insulated Double Wine Cooler ($25.99) that includes a cheese spreader, cutting board and corkscrew. The cooler is great for picnicking on the beach or in the park. With its simple, unisex style, it's an ideal pick for both men and women. The bag can also be monogrammed for a personalized touch!
People who love to have guests love to entertain, right? Totally Bamboo's Puzzle Party Platters are made from bamboo (surprise!) and can interlock or be used individually. Your host can set up an hors d'oeuvres display that is several feet long or place the puzzle piece—shaped trays around the room. Guests can also use the platters individually, as there is an easy-to-hold handle and a notch to serve as a wineglass holder.
