Finding the right hostess gift can be a challenge, but it's a dignified way of showing gratitude. I recently entertained a guest who was less than gracious during her (five day) stay and while a gift wasn't necessary, it certainly would have set a different tone. You don't need to spend a lot to show your appreciation, but here are some of my favorite hostess gifts that make a big impact.

1. Candlestick Vase - $42

2. Silverware Dishtowel - $38

3. Overdue Notebook - $24

4. Capri Blue Candle - $25

5. Juice Glasses - $32

6. Exotic Chocolate Bars - $7.50
