Cheap and Cheerful Hostess Gifts from Urban Outfitters

Trolling through Urban Outfitters' site just now I spotted these oven mitts ($12) and pot holders ($8) in vibrant '60s-ish prints and can't get over how cute and inexpensive they are. They'd make such excellent hostess gifts-I'm already planning on running out to the closest store today to pick up a mix and match pair to take to my friend's dinner party this weekend instead of the usual bottle of wine or flowers. To finish it all off, I'll box them up and wrap the package in equally adorable wrapping paper. I keep a supply of Jack and Lulu's dotted and striped wrap sheets at home; they really make any present feel that much more special and a million times more fun to open.
