Thanksgiving Hostess Gift Under $25: A Useful One
Skip the candle. A practical hostess or Friendsgiving gift under $25 that ships free and gets used all winter.
Thanksgiving is November 26 this year. If you're a guest, the usual move is wine or a candle. Both are fine. Here's one that gets used every day until spring.
The gift: two big tubes of organic lip balm
The Starter 2-Pack is $23: two 0.5 oz (14 g) tubes in any two scents, shipped free in the U.S. Each tube holds about 3.3 times a standard stick, so it lasts.
Picking scents for the host
- Coconut Vanilla: warm and cozy, the most "holiday dinner" of the five.
- Peppermint: our #1 seller, and a December favorite.
- Lavender: calm, for the host who needs a minute after the dishes.
- Unscented: safe if you don't know their taste.
Pair one for the host and one for their partner, or two scents for the kitchen and the coat pocket.
For a bigger table
Hosting Friendsgiving for the whole group? The Assortment 5-Count is $53 for one of each scent, about $10.60 per tube. Hand them out as place-setting favors.
