Posted on December 3, 2025
Hello and Happy December! Since we are in full-blown holiday mode, I thought I would start sprinkling in some posts from my Instagram video series over here on the blog! Welcome to Part One of my Anything But Wine hostess gift series—where we’re stepping beyond the usual bottle and bringing something a little more fun, festive, and memorable. Come see how I embellished this idea! Here is ‘Anything But Wine’ Hostess Gift Series Part 1 // An Embellished Bottle of Salted Caramel Baileys!
First up: Salted Caramel Baileys. It’s festive, delicious, beautiful, and under $20!

Wrapped with a pretty ribbon, a seasonal tag, and a bit of thoughtful flair, this cozy little bottle becomes a standout gift that’s equal parts practical and delightful—the perfect way to kick off a series all about intentional, elevated gifting.
Cheers!
SALTED CARAMEL BAILEYS HOSTESS GIFT // WHAT I USED TO PUT TOGETHER THIS HOSTESS GIFT IDEA:
SALTED CARAMEL BAILEYS HOSTESS GIFT // DIRECTIONS:
ONE // PURCHASE BOTTLE
You can grab a bottle at the grocery store or for pick-up or delivery at Walmart! The bottle itself is so pretty!
TWO // ROUND-UP YOUR EMBELLISHMENTS
I made these dehydrated orange slices as part of my Holiday Hustle series on Instagram last month. I’m keeping them in a glass storage container for easy access for embellishing gifts or to use in a simmer pot on the stove! I’ll share a full tutorial tomorrow in case you want to make a batch of your own. Its a great weekend project and the kids can help too!
You can grab a spool of pretty ribbon to use on your bottle. I’m pretty sure my velvet ribbon is running low on stock, but this one and this one are very similar.
I’ll link up some other ribbon favorites below!
Lastly, I ordered this set of gift tags last month and they are the perfect little tag for tying on your hostess gifts. The festive watercolor art is so pretty!
THREE // GET 2-3 READY FOR GIFTING ALL SEASON LONG
There is no better feeling than having your hostess gift ready to go, so you don’t even have to think about! You can focus your time and attention on your outfit and what festive appetizer you’re bringing!
I have 2 other ideas that I’ve already shared on Instagram, so if you want to check out part 2 and part 3 before I get them posted here, go right ahead! I’ll be back soon with more holiday inspiration and ideas, so stay tuned!
