Summer Hosting Essentials at Bon Femmes

Jul 30, 2025

Hosting a little summer gathering? Whether it's a backyard dinner party, a breezy brunch, or a last-minute wine night with friends, we’ve got everything you need to make it feel extra special, all from women-owned brands we love.

At Bon Femmes, we believe that the details make the moment. From beautifully designed cookbooks to cozy ambiance-setting candles, our summer hosting essentials will help you set the mood, impress your guests, and have fun doing it.

1. Set the Mood with Candles & Incense

Every good summer night starts with a vibe. Light up your gathering with something from the Bon Femmes candle collection, featuring scents that instantly transport you. Whether you're into something sweet, earthy, or floral, there's a perfect match for your table. My current favorite is the Community Garden Candle by Loam.

2. Cookbooks That Do More Than Look Cute

Let your meal (or cocktail menu) shine with help from one of our curated cookbooks. Our current favorite? Nixology, a beautifully designed mocktail cookbook filled with low to no-alcohol cocktail recipes that are just as fun to make as they are to sip. It’s perfect for anyone diving into the world of alcohol-free drinks, and it makes a thoughtful gift for your favorite host, too!

3. Cute Coasters & Vintage Glassware

No summer hangout is complete without a charming drink setup! At Bon Femmes, we’ve got a rotating selection of vintage glassware that’s as functional as it is fabulous, plus adorable coasters that’ll keep your surfaces safe and stylish. Whether you're serving cocktails, mocktails, or a sparkling lemonade, these little details bring instant joy to your hosting game.

4. The Cutest Conversation Starter: Matchbooks

Sometimes it’s the tiniest details that steal the show, like these adorable matchbooks. They're functional, fun, and almost too cute to use (but we highly recommend you do). Keep one on the table next to your candle setup or gift a pack to your fave host. They're the kind of little surprise that gets guests smiling and maybe even asking where you found them (psst… Bon Femmes, of course).

5. Gifts for the Host (or Yourself)

If you're the guest, don’t show up empty-handed. A beautiful candle, yummy candy, or cute napkins from Bon Femmes make the perfect hostess gift. And if you’re hosting? Don’t forget to treat yourself too.

Whether you're planning something big or keeping it super chill, Bon Femmes has all the women-owned summer hosting essentials to make it extra sweet. Swing by the shop or browse online to stock up, get inspired, and make this your cutest, most joy-filled summer yet. 🌞
