For the Host:
‘Tis the season for holiday parties! If you’re lucky enough to get invited to someone else’s house for dinner, thank them by showing up with something other than a bottle of wine or bouquet of flowers. This elegant and aromatic 12-inch dried herb wreath from West Elm will do the trick. It combines seasonal flowers and herbs including marjoram, sage, savory, ammobium, lavender and bay, making it not only look good but smell great, too. Your foresight will be appreciated and may even score you a return invite next year. $49
