Canada Day Party – Host Gift Ideas

Have you been invited to a Canada Day party this weekend? Trying to think of a gift to bring for the host? Party hosts usually say “Don’t bring anything!” but I never like to go empty handed. Here are a few fun ideas for creating a basket of goodies for your party host. Some ideas are a little on the silly side but the guests will likely get a chuckle out of it and the kids will enjoy the small silly items. Don’t forget – we have FREE printables to help you put your hostess basket together!

Hostess Gift Idea for a Canada Day Party:

Let’s start with the basket. I’d suggest starting at your local dollar store and seeing what they have available like:

• red basket or pail
• metal serving tray or oversized ice pail
• white or red tissue paper
• red & white ribbon
• small clear bags

Now for what to put in the Canada Day Party hostess basket:

• chocolate almonds with a note tied to the bag with ribbon that says “Moose Droppings”
• pretzel sticks with a note tied to the bag with ribbon that says “Beaver Dam Supplies”
• sparklers with a note and ribbon tied to a small bundle that says “Mini Fireworks”
• red bottles of pop
• red & white candy such as jelly beans, wrapped chocolates
• Canada Day tattoos
• Canada Day stickers
• red glow sticks
• Canada flag napkins
• Canada Day gear such as hats and sun visors
• Canada Day bottle opener or wine cork
• Small stuffed toys like a moose or beaver
• Chocolate loonies
• Canada Day themed toys such as flying discs and bouncy balls

Don’t forget to include a little thank you note for the host/hostess!

Need to practice up on your singing of the national anthem? Here are the words to O Canada so you can study before the party!
