I don’t care how seasoned of a party host you think you are: we can all learn something from the consummate host of Bel Air, Kathy Hilton. The iconic American socialite and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member is known for throwing parties that are both lavish and fun (spotted at one of her four holiday fêtes this season, a kilo of caviar on ice—and donut holes from Dunkin’). While the in-house Moet vending machine is certainly a perk, it’s the decorum with which she welcomes people into her home that makes a lasting impression.
“When people are coming into your home, it’s important to make them feel welcome: I make sure that they have something to drink, enough to eat, and that they’re getting to know new people outside of their circle of friends,” Hilton says. “From when I was little, I was taught to always introduce people to one another. You never know who has or hasn’t met before, and I want people to feel really good and have a great experience.”
At these parties, Hilton has also proven to be an expert gift giver. (She has a claw crane machine that dispenses jewelry, if you can believe it.) Ahead, she shares her favorite gifts for giving to friends, family, and fellow partygoers.
