If you’ve spent time in Provincetown in the last few decades, you know about Ciro Cozzi. An artist, bon vivant, and c0-owner of Ciro & Sal’s Restaurant, he was a beloved figure in town (when he died in 2013, Anthony Bourdain tweeted “RIP Ciro Cozzi, my first real boss of bosses in long ago Provincetown, Mass.”).

Truth be told, a bottle of spirits will always be a welcome hostess gift. But if you want to make a really good impression (good enough to be rewarded with secret extra helpings of dessert), cross the threshold bearing one of these considered presents. Above: What we especially love about La Riccia’s free-blown recycled-Glass Ornaments is that they aren’t too Christmas-y and can have a life all year-round; $25 each at Il Buco. Above: Kohchosai Kosuga’s adorable Bamboo Tea Strainer is just $21 at Nalata Nalata. Above: Fog Linen’s one-size-fits-all Wool Linen Slippers are made from their fabric remnants. “The…
