With the holidays approaching, you’re probably searching for that perfect gift for the one family member who always hosts and makes every gathering memorable. This person takes pride in creating the perfect setting—from perfectly arranged table settings to an endless selection of drinks and snacks, they always go the extra mile to make everyone feel welcome. So why not treat them to a compact appliance that makes their hosting prep easier and more enjoyable?

From beverage fridges to ice makers to pizza ovens, these handy appliances make hosting a breeze, adding a touch of convenience and style that any host will appreciate. And when you see how much easier they make entertaining, you might just want to add one to your own wishlist, too!

Beverage and Wine Fridges

For the person who loves to host in any season, consider a beverage or wine fridge. During the holidays, the kitchen fridge quickly fills up with ingredients, leftovers, and treats, leaving little space for the drinks that make gatherings festive.

Standard fridges aren’t ideal for storing beer and wine, which need specific temperatures and humidity levels. A dedicated beer or wine fridge offers a practical solution, allowing your favorite host to stock up for parties without sacrificing precious space in the main refrigerator.

Dual-zone fridges make it even easier, with two separate temperature compartments. One side can be set for storage and the other for serving, or use one section for beer and soda and the other for wine. Many models feature adjustable shelves to accommodate different types of beverages and bottle sizes.

While fridges are available in built-in models, freestanding or countertop versions are especially gift-friendly. With a wide variety of sizes and styles, you’ll find the perfect fit for everyone, from wine lovers in cozy apartments to beer enthusiasts with spacious rec rooms.

Ice Makers

We’ve all experienced the dreaded moment when the ice runs out mid-party. Even when ice is made in advance or extra bags are purchased, freezer space fills up quickly with other essentials.

For the host who never wants to worry about running out of ice, an ice maker is the perfect gift. These appliances produce a high volume of ice, ensuring there’s always enough for guests. Available in both built-in and portable models, ice makers are designed for convenience. Built-in versions are connected to a water line, while portable models require periodic filling of a reservoir to keep the ice flowing.

The real advantage? Ice makers produce ice much faster than traditional freezers—about every 15 minutes—making them perfect for any host who enjoys serving specialty cocktails. For blended drinks like margaritas or mojitos, nugget ice is ideal, as it’s softer and easier to blend.

If the host or hostess in your life prefers high-end whiskey, a countertop whiskey ice ball maker is a must-have. These devices create perfectly clear, slow-melting ice spheres that won’t dilute the flavor of the drink. Capable of making up to 32 spheres in 24 hours, they’re a great gift for anyone who appreciates a premium sipping experience.

Ice makers come in a variety of sizes and configurations, making them easy to fit into any bar area or kitchen countertop. With sleek modern designs, user-friendly control panels, and finishes in black or stainless steel, these appliances offer features that will please any host.

Cigar Humidors

Perhaps you’re looking for a gift for someone who loves to share cigars when hosting friends for game days or poker nights. A cigar humidor could take their hosting game to the next level.

A humidor maintains cigars at the ideal humidity level — around 65-70% — and a stable temperature of about 70°F, ensuring cigars stay fresh and flavorful. Modern electric humidors offer push-button ease, with features like a water tank or humidity bag to keep the perfect moisture level at all times.

Some features to consider include:

• Different capacities to accommodate small or large cigar collections
• Spanish cedar drawers to repel insects and enhance cigar aroma
• LED spotlights to see each drawer and highlight special imports
• Locking doors to keep the humidor safe around kids and pets

It’s a thoughtful gift they’ll appreciate all year long.

Pizza Ovens

Imagine serving an artisan-style pizza in under 20 minutes! For the host who loves to entertain, an electric pizza oven makes it possible. Whether it’s a lively watch party in the basement, a tailgate on-the-go, or a barbecue on the patio, this oven keeps the fun going, no matter the setting.

Who wouldn’t want the ability to get dinner on the table that quickly when company calls? Add this to your list for friends and family who love hosting gatherings throughout the year.
