9 Un-Boring Hostess Gifts Any Bravo Fan Will Love
From Dorinda Medley's favorite candle to a Tibetan singing bowl RHOC fans will love, here are gifts to please any Bravo lover.
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.
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.
Nest Candles
Around Christmastime, the queen of "making it nice" only lights Nest Candles. Dorinda Medley once told us, "I love Nest candles. very single day, I light a candle as soon as I wake up, in my living room and my bedroom. It always makes you feel like you’re home immediately.”

WWHL Official Shotski
There's nothing like a communal shot of vodka to bring party guests together. Inspired by the famous Shotski in the Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen clubhouse, this version holds four shot glasses. Don't forget to pick a Word of the Night!
Tibetan Singing Bowl
This singing bowl is made for peaceful meditation, which is probably just what your host needs after putting up with so many houseguests. Now, some may think that this bowl can be used for purposes that aren't exactly peaceful ... but we can't recommend any stunts that'll land another party guest in the ER.
