The Special Touch: Host and Hostess Gifts with Gardenuity

The heart of any great gathering lies in the little details that make guests feel welcomed, appreciated, and remembered. Whether you’re attending a soirée or throwing one of your own, thoughtful host and hostess gifts or personalized party favors can add a special touch that lingers long after the party ends. At Gardenuity, we believe in creating gifts that grow—literally and figuratively—to elevate any occasion. 

One of our favorite hostess gifts is the wax-dipped amaryllis bulb from Peru. It is the no-fuss gift that keeps on giving and one Gardenuity customer feels the same way. She recently shared this story with the Grow Pro Team-

The Perfect Gift

I just had to share my experience with the wax-dipped amaryllis bulb I got from Gardenuity—it was such a hit as a hostess gift! My friend Emma hosted a holiday gathering and I wanted to bring her something unique and thoughtful, not the usual bottle of wine or box of chocolates. When I saw the wax-dipped amaryllis bulbs on your site, I knew it was the perfect choice.

The whole process was so easy! The bulb arrived beautifully packaged, and the vibrant wax shell looked so elegant—I could already picture it fitting perfectly in Emma’s home. The best part was knowing it didn’t need any watering or special care, which is ideal for someone as busy as Emma.

When I arrived at her house, I handed her the box and told her, “This is for you—it’s a wax-dipped amaryllis bulb. It’ll bloom all on its own, no watering needed.” She was so surprised and excited! She immediately unwrapped it and couldn’t stop admiring how beautiful and unique it was. “This is gorgeous,” she said, holding it up for everyone to see. “I’ve never seen anything like it!”

Throughout the evening, guests kept asking about it, and Emma proudly told them all about the “magic bulb” that would grow without water. It was such a great conversation piece, and I loved seeing how much joy it brought her. She even placed it on the dining table right then and there, where it became part of her party decor.

A couple weeks later, Emma sent me a picture of the bulb with its first little sprout. She added a sweet note: “I think of you every time I look at it. It’s such a beautiful gift—thank you so much!” That moment made me so happy, knowing I’d given her something that would keep growing and bringing her joy.

I just want to say thank you, Gardenuity, for such an incredible gift option. The wax-dipped amaryllis bulb isn’t just beautiful—it’s meaningful and easy, and it made me feel like I’d given something truly special. You’ve officially made me the favorite guest at every party this season!

As a host, sending your guests home with a token of gratitude leaves a lasting impression. Party favors don’t have to be extravagant; they just need to feel personal and meaningful. Gardening-inspired gifts are a unique way to give your guests something they can enjoy well beyond the party.

Whether you’re bringing a gift to your favorite host or sending guests home with a thoughtful party favor, a little green goes a long way. At Gardenuity, we believe that gifts should be more than just things—they should inspire growth, connection, and lasting memories. So, the next time you plan an event or attend one, let your gifts grow as beautifully as the relationships you’re celebrating.
