The Best Hostess Gift I Ever Received

At Partners ID, we love hearing from our community. Recently, one longtime hostess wrote to us about the most memorable gift she ever received at her annual lifestyle party. Her story was too good not to share.

Dear Partners ID,

I’ve been hosting an annual lifestyle party in our home for many years. It’s a tradition my husband and I look forward to, and over time it’s grown into something really special. Every December, our friends gather to celebrate, connect, and share the joy of the season.

With each party, our guests bring hostess gifts. And while I appreciate the thought behind every gesture, they usually come in the form of wine, champagne, or liquor. The funny thing is, we rarely drink. Those bottles end up tucked away in a cabinet, forgotten until someone else needs them.

One year, though, something completely different happened. A couple we invited handed me a small box. Inside was a beautiful necklace from Partners ID. I can’t tell you how touched I was. Instead of another bottle of alcohol, I was given something meaningful—something I could wear, treasure, and remember long after the night ended.

That necklace wasn’t just jewelry. It was lifestyle jewelry, elegant and discreet, but instantly recognizable to those who know. To me, it symbolized more than a gift. It was a connection, a thoughtful gesture that stood out above all the others.

I’ve never forgotten that moment. To this day, it remains the best hostess gift I’ve ever received. If anyone is searching for an idea that’s personal, lasting, and truly memorable, I would encourage them to skip the alcohol and consider giving jewelry instead. It’s a gift that goes beyond the party. Best of all, every time I wear it, I think about the couple who gave it me. It's very special.

Sincerely,

Laura
