5 must-have hosting items I'm picking up from Anthropologie to wow my guests this festive season

Love it or loathe it, party season is slowly approaching and it's always best to be prepared for anything. As a lover of all things hosting, I was excited to see Anthropologie's newest offerings to make my home guest-ready.

While knowing some essential Christmas hosting tips is extremely important this time of year, parties aren't just for Christmas. No, before the big day, we have Halloween festivities, bonfire night shindigs, and seasonal dinner parties to cater to.

That is why when I saw Anthropology's new hosting items I was glad to see a theme of understated festiveness. Investing in your glassware and decorations shouldn't be limited to the big day, you should be enjoying your hosting additions all season long.

New season: Anthropologie Hosting must-haves

When it comes to making a home cosy adding small yet charming decorative pieces is one of my favourite things to do. Especially when one of my favourite brands Anthropologie releases its seasonal offerings.

This year autumn seemed to spring upon us rather quickly, it seems only yesterday I was drooling over Anthro's autumn new-in collection. However, as Halloween draws nearer and party season descends I know it's time to invest in new hosting pieces.

When splurging on these types of items it is important to buy from somewhere that offers high-quality pieces that will stand the test of time, both physically and aesthetically. This is why I tend to choose things that look timeless even when they are used for occasions other than hosting a Christmas party.

While I was perusing the Anthropologie new-in section for its hosting must-haves, I was pleasantly surprised to find so many elegant pieces. There was hardly a Christmas motif in sight...

You can of course jump head first into the Christmas joy if you're into more of a maximalist decor look, however for this pre-Santa season these are my top picks for making your guests ooh and ahh.


Even if you're more of a party-goer than thrower, there are lots of autumn rituals to do to get your home ready for the season. You certainly don't have to be spending a fortune on autumn home decor ideas, but changing your space a little can make a huge difference when it comes to how you feel about the colder weather.
