A hostess gift is a must, as we can’t be showing up to the pool, beach house, or lake day empty handed. This gift basket comes to the rescue with a clever lifeguard theme.

If you know me, you know I’m a Dr Pepper fan through and through. However, for hosting the 4th of July, a Coke in a glass bottle just feels right! I dressed these up a bit with ribbon and color-changing straws. Add a cute napkin and in no time you’ve created a festive touch your guests will enjoy.
