There's something pretty fabulous about a holiday that you're not hosting. Actually, there are a few things. You don't have to cook. You don't have to clean. And you don't have to deal with last-minute phone calls informing you of gluten allergies. But there is something you do have to do, and that's to show due respect to the person who's taking care of all the above. Luckily, Bravolebs are here to show us clever gift ideas. 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City on Bravo Tuesdays at 9/8c and stream next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.

Below, we've rounded up a few gift ideas that would impress the host or hostess who has everything — including a Bravo addiction. From a pepperminty candle that hawk-eyed Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fans will recognize to a singing bowl inspired by some of Kelly Dodd's most famous antics, these gifts range from luxurious to sweet and cheeky. And don't worry: There are also a few boozy items on the list.

Now, keep scrolling, get your shop on, and ensure that you get invited back to the next holiday bash.
