The holiday season is fast upon us and so are the slew of social obligations that come with it. While it may seem a tedious task to bring a little something to your host or hostess’ home, the notion will not go unnoticed or unappreciated. After all, they have put countless hours and effort into having you at their event, so why not show them a little appreciation for all that they’ve done?

I have rounded up a few pieces (but really there are just too many good ones!) from Target’s home decor department, that can be used for the holiday season and beyond. All of the following pieces are under $30, and would make lovely hostess gifts.

1. Marble & Gold bar tool set  – $26.99

2. Wood & Marble coasters (set of 4) – $11.99

3. Vintage Santa appetizer plate – $1.99 (These cute dishes could be gifted alone or with some baked goods, appetizers. They also double nicely for cookies to be left out on on Christmas Eve.)

4. Origami bear (&13.49) and Origami bird ($13.49)

5. ‘Grey Flannel’ marble candle – $14.99
