A nice wine is always a foolproof gift to bring to a party, but once the guests are gone, so is the bottle. Instead, treat the hostess to some well-deserved beauty R & R once the festivities are over. From sets loaded with everything she’ll need for an at-home spa day, to scented candles that could serve as home accents for her next party, there’s a bevy of options to give your hostesses this holiday season. Here, we have ten beauty sets to give that are guaranteed to earn you a spot on every future guest list.
