With the holiday party season getting into full swing, one question begs to be answered by Seattle families. What do you bring the hostess with the mostest when the Pike Place Market bouquets aren’t in season? We’ve rounded up eight festive ideas from local cookbooks to socks that rock, all of which are sure to land you a firm spot on the “nice” list this year. Be our guest!

For the Family On The Go

Busy families appreciate things that make life easier, and in this case a little sweeter. Put a box of Cakeballz (bite-sized pieces of cake covered in icing) in the host family’s freezer and they’ll be thanking you when unexpected guests drop by or when they need a quick treat to send to school for the kiddos’ winter parties. With a defrost time of just 5 minutes, you just take ‘em out and let them sit. And if you’re feeling fancy, add in a little stick and you’ve got an instant cakepop. It couldn’t be any easier. Choose from red velvet, chocolate or our favorite, birthday cake. Easy as…. cake!

Find it: In the freezer section at Costco (4th Ave. in Seattle).
Cost: $9.99
