Hostess Gifts from Cookie Cutter on Etsy

Every summer, we're lucky enough to be invited to countless parties and beach houses. I'm always looking for the perfect gift for the family that extended the invitation, something that is useful and won't get tossed into the re-gifting pile. One of a kind handmade items usually do the trick–here are my top picks from my new favorite one-stop Etsy shop Cookie Cutter for hostess gifts.

These great web finds are by Rachel Faucett, a designer and vintage scout for all things children, sharing her latest finds on her blog handmade charlotte. She lives on a farm just outside of Atlanta with her husband and their five children (and ever-changing menagerie of animals).
