Top Gifts for Entertaining

Surprise the social butterfly on your list with gifts for entertaining. Williams Sonoma has everything a host or hostess needs to throw a perfect party. There's something for most every home entertainer, whether they prefer throwing casual or formal parties.

Types of Gifts for Entertaining

The selection at Williams Sonoma has a diverse range of gifts for the home entertainer. Many of these items are useful for most kitchens and home bars, so you may want to shop for yourself also. Just some of the gifts to consider include:

  • Beverage Makers: Gourmet coffee machines and espresso makers are practical gifts for coffee lovers and home entertainers because they can be used even when they're not throwing a party. One option is the De'Longhi All-in-One Combination Coffee Maker, which can make a full pot of coffee and two espresso drinks at once. It has a milk steaming wand for barista-quality lattes and is compatible with ground coffee or ESE coffee pods.
  • Cookware: Treat the dinner party enthusiast to colorful enameled cast iron Le Creuset cookware. There are multiple hues and shades to complement any kitchen and a multitude of pot-and-pan styles from which to choose. Or choose a GreenPan™ stainless-steel slow cooker to take the hard work out of prepping meals for a crowd.
  • Cheese Boards: The cocktail enthusiast on your gift list may appreciate a marble or wood cheese board. There's also a selection of coordinating cheese knives for serving. Williams Sonoma even has fine wines and an assortment of gourmet cheeses that you can include with these items.
  • Cocktail Essentials: There are many gifts for the home bartender who enjoys throwing cocktail parties. In addition to novelty ice molds and drinkware in many styles, there are specialty bar accessories for an upscale party experience. The Crafthouse for Fortessa Cocktail Smoking Box infuses mixed drinks with savory smoke for artisanal results.

More Gifts for Cooks and Grillers

In addition to gifts for entertaining, there are gifts for grill masters and home chefs. There are utensil sets and grilling tools, along with small appliances such as air fryers and multipots. Both of these kitchen electrics have multiple functions. Air fryers can dehydrate, reheat and fry with little to no oil, while multipots steam, boil and can even be used for canning.

When it comes to gifts for grillers, you'll find something at most every price point. There are seasoning sets such as the Williams Sonoma Rub Library, which contains 12 different gourmet grilling rubs for all their grilling recipes. You'll also find grill prep trays and butcher blocks. There are aprons in different styles, with handy pockets for keeping grill tools easily accessible. If you want a big-ticket gift for your favorite griller, consider a Traeger Timberline grill or a Weber Genesis gas grill.

Explore the gift selection to find plenty of possibilities. Some of the gifts for entertaining mentioned here may also work for introverts, too. Even if they don't throw many parties, they can still enjoy a sparkling new wine glass set or state-of-the-art countertop appliance. Sets of kitchen tools are also gifts most everyone can use on a daily basis.
