Living in New York City, where the rent increases force us to move seemingly constantly, I feel like I host a housewarming every year. In fact, it’s almost become a running joke that every birthday party I host at my apartment is also a combination housewarming. And lo and behold, it’s that time of year once again.

Now, I consider myself a pretty good host, or at least I try to be. Fun snacks, good lighting, nice candles, a homemade punch — these are just a few of the things I like to start with when having people over. The beautiful thing is, I can find all of these at my favorite artisanal apothecary: Flamingo Estate. It wouldn’t be difficult for me to write at length about my love for Flamingo Estate, and here at InsideHook we have, from their bath products to their pantry items to their celebrity collabs. Safe to say this is our one-stop-shop for hosting, gifting and just downright treating ourselves.

Below, I have done the honor of gathering all of the items you need to be the most wonderful party host (and if you’re a party guest wondering if you should get a gift for the host — take note!).
