The holiday season is upon us and that means holiday celebrations. From cocktail parties to formal dinners, holiday fun is in full swing. If you are hosting or being hosted, it never hurts to have a few party favors and hostess favors stashed away for the season. To help you out, we got insight from an expert on holiday gifts for a hostess. Check out some tips for holiday hosting and hostess gifts from lifestyle Maven, Mimi Striplin, Founder of Tiny Tassel, a Charleston-based lifestyle brand with a massive social media following and adorable downtown shop.
Mimi’s Holiday Hostess Tips
1)Plan and prep ahead of time! Do everything early so you can actually enjoy yourself when your guests arrive
2) Be flexible and go with the flow! Plans are always going to change, so you might as well adapt!
3) Be festive! I love utilizing adorable decorations to add some fun to any gathering
4) Dress to impress! I always wear a fun & festive outfit but also make sure I’m going to be comfortable
5) Utilize great local spots! Use fun local vendors like bakeries, florists, and restaurants to support small businesses and remove some of your workload
6)Focus on your guests! The most important part of any holiday gathering is being around those you love! Don’t sweat the small stuff, and enjoy your company

Michiel is a Black Southern Belle living a lowcountry life. I love all things fashion, home decor and southern! When I am not running around doing fun stuff for Black Southern Belle, I live in antique stores and have a minor obsession with historic homes :)
