Rocking Wine Tumblers

These stemless, colorful wine tumblers are also a conversation piece because they gently rock when placed on a table. They do double duty as cocktail glasses and will complement your host's array of wine glasses. Note: I promise they are the most expensive gift on this list, which offers hostess gift ideas ranging in price from $7 to $30. ($55, UncommonGoods)

    living a life does give no meaning, but life which we are living is the meaning in itself.

The greatest gift exchanges require thoughtfulness, listening, and really understanding who another person is and what they like and need—that's what I always strive for in giving and it's the only thing I hope for in receiving.
