I’ve never been to Inge’s workshop in the Netherlands, but if the world headquarters of Windward Made is not the coziest spot on the planet, I’d be surprised. Inge is the “designer, maker, and everything-elser” at the small online shop which she keeps stocked with hand-printed tea towels, pillow covers, tea and plant cozies, among other things. If you’re on the hunt for a simple and sweet gift to bring to someone’s home this winter—or a little treat for yourself—Winward Made is the place to look.
Inge screenprints her own designs onto hemp and organic cotton fabric using non-toxic inks and sews her goods on a vintage sewing machine with organic thread. This week, she’ll be prepping to mail off a package to a Reading My Tea Leaves reader.
One lucky reader will receive a brown paper parcel wrapped in string and tied up with a feather for good measure. 
Inside, the winner will find a pillow cover, tea towel set, and plant cozy of his or her choosing.
^^^A wintry pine green plant cozy for keeping plants warm—and hiding less-than-beautiful pots. (If you ask me, they’d make the perfect “tree skirt” for an apartment-sized Christmas tree.)
^^^Not for plants, only, the plant cozy makes a fabric bowl for stashing fruit or other odds and ends. It’s also fully reversible. The simple tea towels come in four different designs that are festive for the wintertime, without being kitschy. They’re sold individually and in sets of two and they’re made with a hang tag in the corner for easy drying. This one’s the pine tree towel.
^^^Inge’s organic cotton and hemp pillow covers come in five subtle graphic designs and are beautifully designed with an envelope closure. This one is the black stripes cover. Perfect for wintry snuggling.
The giveaway will close at 5:00 pm EST on Friday, November 21 and a randomly selected winner will be announced on Monday, November 24. Open to all readers. UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed. Mary, whose go-to gift is “a jar of something canned from the cupboard” is the winner.
This post and giveaway was sponsored by Windward Made. Opinions and enthusiasm are my own. Thanks so much for supporting the brands that keep Reading My Tea Leaves afloat.

What a great giveaway!
My go-to hostess gift is a bouquet of wintry flowers and something edible (like a homemade pie or cookies).

Those plant cozies are adorable!! Although a bottle of wine will never go out of fashion (in my book), I stick to the traditional gifts of a boquet of flowers or box of chocolates for a host(ess). Whether you all enjoy them at the party or your host indulges after finally booting out the last guest, it will be appreciated. [ I have subscribed! contact details: rona.mitchell4 at gmail dot com ]
These are stunning! I love the simple designs and earthiness. My go to hostess gift is some homemade chocolate truffles. They are super easy to make but so delicious. can be contacted on lizmmosley at gmail dot com
A lovely giveaway – those little trees are perfect ! And thanks for the discovery of this great Dutch creations, gonna have a look at them for Christmas gifts !

Wonderful giveaway.
My favorite hostess gift is al loaf of homemade sourdough bread and a jar of cantaloupe preserves. all tucked in a basket with a knit cloth.
We often give wine. But if I had more time/energy/planning, I'd make this amazing loaf of honey bread that my mom makes.

Depends on the gathering, but my last gift was a pint of small-batch ice cream. caitlin.fultz at gmail dot com.
Inge's goods are so beautiful. I usually bring a bottle of wine and, if someone has recently moved house, a loaf of freshly baked bread and some nice sea salt – a Finnish (where my mother is from) tradition to ensure the household never runs out of bread or salt 🙂 annaorrnert at yahoo dot co dot uk
oh, niceness. i usually take some homemade muffins and a bottle of cider – somehow that always works.

A bottle of wine and a small house plant!

This giveaway is amazing! I love to bake bread, so my favorite thing to bring is a fresh loaf. My email is [email protected]. Can't wait!
I like taking flowers to give the host. Host and hostess gifting isn't common among my friends in their mid-twenties, so they're always surprised and excited, since few of us ever buy ourselves flowers. In the winter a good-smelling candle is a nice alternative to flowers. Thanks for hosting a giveaway, Erin!

Homemade breakfast rolls for the morning after.

A bottle of wine or some beer brewed by my husband. I've often received plants and, is it just me, or is a plant a bit of a commitment to force upon someone? I like to pick my plants myself and in a tiny abode a new one to add to the mix can feel thoughtful, but crowding! I love the idea of lovely tea towels though. Something imbibe-able, edible, or useful is ideal, I think. (kimberlydawnlacroix {at} gmail {dot} com)
What a beautiful site to add to my favorites! Around this time of year I put up a big pot of Orange/cranberry marmalade. I make it a bit less sweet and not as firm as traditional marmalade and include a recipe for something savory like a simple roast chicken or Pork loin. It perfect for Thanksgiving guests too. When rustic mason jars dressed in burlap and twin fill my y kitchen pantry I know the holidays are here! [email protected]
Love the versatility of those plant cozies. My husband's family lives in wine country in California so we often bring back wines that aren't available on this coast and give them as housewarming gifts. Our favorite is Borra Vineyards.
My go-to gift for a host is flowers and wine, or good quality coffee beans.

My go-to holiday host/hostess gift is a mini poinsettia and a tin of homemade divinity – it's such a tricky recipe, but always worth it this time of year!
These are all beautiful! I love the plant cosy – what a great idea!
[email protected]
These are simply lovely and so beautifully crafted!
My go to gift is usually something handmade, often from the kitchen, like my husband's home-brew or herbed simple syrups from the garden.
[email protected]
love these! My go-to hostess gifts are simmer pots: mason jars (or re-used Bonne Maman jars) with dried apples, orange slices, lemon slices, whole cloves, whole allspice, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and bay leaves. Tied up with a pretty wooden ornament and a tag – they're a hit every year! erikahoff AT gmail dot com
My go to hostess gift is a fancily packaged set of salts and peppers from a local speciality food store. I can be contacted at mallorymccall (at) gmail (dot) com
Now a subscriber! These are so beautiful.
My favorite hostess gift is always a good bottle of wine, simple but classic.

I love her aesthetic! So beautiful and pared-down. Favorite hostess gift is definitely a little plant. Would be even cuter with a plant cozy!
serenityvoss[at]gmail
So sweet and lovely. I like bringing a local honey or tea towels as a gift. jeanmdavidson[@]gmail Thanks for hosting!
During the holiday season I usually bring home baked christmas cookies, and/or a little plant, especially if I know the plant care level the person is comfortable with!
This year I decided I'll bring a botte of wine (for adults) or a bottle of locally produced apple, blackcurrant and elderberry juice (for families) plus mulling spices. This way, they can make mulled wine or mulled juice. 😀
Thank you for the giveaway, and thank you for bringing Windward made to my attention! I love the tea towels and the plant cozies.
kontakt (at) alexandrapreis (dot) de
Before all the holiday parties begin I like to spend a day making cookie dough that freezes well, like shortbread. I separate it into small batches and pull some out for no fuss added fresh baked cookies to give to the host(ess). I wrap them into a gift box instead of a plate and If there is already a big spread of holiday treats I make sure they know that those cookies are a little gift for them and they can feel free to hog them all for later!
Thank you for telling us about this lovely shop, and for the chance to win a little something!

homemade balloon flower bouquet!

Ooh, nice things! And from Europe, much appreciated. 🙂 I love to make a big batch of homemade crispbread ("Knekkebrød" http://www.detsoteliv.no/oppskrift/hjemmelaget-knekkebrod-0) and buy a nice container, make homemade fig jam and include a nice card with the recipes – and for the extra special host, a farmer's market cheese. Everyone I've given this bundle to have loved it, and the joy of the gift lasts until they've eaten it up, and then they can make their own! The leaves pillow cover and the twinkle stars tea towel and plant cover especially tickled my fancy. 🙂
[email protected]
something sweet and homemade, plus a good bottle of wine. can't go wrong! [email protected]
I love getting a large jar and filling it with natural cleaning products, Essential oils, tea towels, and a few other little things that every new homeowner may need but forget to buy themselves. 🙂

My gift to the host is almost always home baked choc chip cookies!
Fabulous giveaway! My go-to hostess gift is wine, wine, wine. A nice, unique bottle is such a fantastic gift, especially since most people won't splurge on the good stuff routinely!
My favorite gift to a host is a set of coasters handmade by me!
Wow! So lovely!
My go-to hostess gift is a jar of something canned from the cupboard. This year we have an abundance of tomato jam, so it'll be making the rounds very soon!
([email protected])
I'm classic (aka boring) and always bring a bottle of good wine or two, or a big bouquet of flowers. Two gifts that don't last very long, but spark a lot of joy.
I love making homemade biscotti for holiday gifts. 🙂 ([email protected]) Thanks!
subscribed.
I love the idea of bringing a host breakfast for the next day – fresh bread and jam or similar. After a big party/late night, to wake to a nice breakfast.
oh how charming and simple! would love these for my own home or as a gift! [email protected]
So, so beautiful. I love bringing friends tiny air plants (so mysterious) or a messy bouquet of hand-picked flowers. toritelfer (at) gmail (dot) com.
For most parties I stick with a bottle of wine. I always keep a few gift-able bottles with pretty labels on hand. I'm stuck on lambrusco for the holiday season!
But if I'm just dropping by, showing up with the makings for Sweet n Saltines (aka Christmas crack) is the greatest gift of all–especially when I bring my own pan to spare the hostess any dishes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/sweet-and-saltines-recipe.html The house smells amazing through the morning and there's typically some left for the week. A gift that keeps on giving!
I tend to bring pie or whatever baked good I'm in the mood to make. [email protected]
baked goods! ablakeupATgmail
I usually opt to bring pudding/dessert if it's dinner (match green tea roll cooling on the counter as I type, waiting to be frosted tomorrow), or a tea bread (it's a Yorkshire/English thing) if it's coffee/lunch. stephsteels (at) hotmail (dot) com
I like to bring a homemade dish and belgian beer! [email protected]

Baked goods and a bottle of homemade vanilla extract [email protected]
Beautiful giveaway.
I like to bring Francois Payard's Salted Caramel Pate a Tartiner as a host/ess gift. A little pricey (and arguably a much lazier option than most RMTL readers seem to go with), but typically produces smiles and post-event gushing.

I usually bring something homemade (a baked good) or a bottle of wine!

[email protected]: The lemons and grapefruits I picked from my tree this weekend will be limoncello and "grapefruitcello" in time for holiday giving!

My go-to gift for the holidays is homemade treats. I like to arrange a tray of seasonal goodies for everyone to enjoy; it's festive and personal. Thanks for the fun giveaway! [email protected]

I'm still deciding on my "go-to" for non-drinkers, but so far a bottle of Brooklyn-made Sorel seems to do the trick 🙂 anonwcl (at) [gmail] .com
A few different Mast Brothers Chocolate bars are always well received. It's also a great excuse for me to pop over to their beautiful shop. sharonkim.kim (at) gmail (dot) com
I don't really have a go-to, but homemade bread is pretty high ranking.

I can be reached at [email protected] and i've subscribed to the newsletter, hoping to win these lovely items!
Lovely design items! I usually bring one/some of these: organic wine/coffee/tea, flowers, self made baked stuff (lately I've gone crazy for raw food "baking"), self made craft or when the season is right something from our garden lot.
I really would love to win these beautiful things! My email is: krisulle [at]gmail.com.
I also love your blog! Found it a couple of weeks ago and have been reading it every day. Great inspiration, thanks! Greetings from Finland!

I subscribed and I love all the wonderful gifts! My go to gift is a home made mixed CD. Its great because when you get to the event and they haven't have time to pick out music you can just throw them in.
I also love to watercolor, so this year I am going to make little calender cards with drawings on each specific to the month and person.

What a lovely giveaway. The gift depends on the gathering, tha last one was a plant, but often it's baken goods. I signed up for the newsletter. [email protected]
Subscribed! What a lovely giveaway. My gifts are dependent upon who's hosting. But a few favorites… homemade candles, pretty soaps, or little houseplants. I also enjoy making breakfast for the host/hostess to save them the trouble and to help them relax and feel taken care of as well. [email protected]
Thank you for this, it looks very pretty. This is going to sound weird, I have a worm composter at home and my friends are crazy about the "worm tea" they produce. It has revived many plants, and as my friends don't want to have worms in their house, I always bring a small bottle of tea for their houseplants. [email protected]
Lovely giveaway, I subscribed! I would give my host some nice flowers from my garden, or his/her favorite cake (homemade) or a nice bag of freshly roasted coffee! anneagterberg at gmail dot com

Beautiful giveaway! Around the holidays I never leave home without a tin full of homemade caramels (secret family recipe). Last year I started making them with chocolate and sea salt. [email protected]
Lovely giveaway, thank you! Host gifts depend upon the host and range from a bottle of wine in a beautiful bag to locally made chocolate to more family gifts–like holiday linen–are my go to's.
I give wine, homemade bread, or some local beer. One of my favorite hostess gifts I've received was fancy ice cream. It's so fun to indulge and try new flavors.
Oh my gosh, what beautiful products! Anyone would be so lucky to have an item or two from Windward Made in their home. I always second guess my hostess gifts which is something I'm really trying to work on. Sometimes a nice candle is my go – to, or a bottle of wine, or, if I'm really on my A-game, homemade granola in a mason jar. ([email protected])
They have some beautiful items. I usually give wine or a locally made jalapeño jelly (goes great with warm brie). ([email protected])
These are so cute!
My go-to hostess gift is usually a personal-sized loaf of one of my quick breads. This time of year it's usually my (fresh) cranberry walnut bread topped with an orange glaze (while still warm right out of the over!). Scrumptious!
bianca.c.obrien(at) [gmail] .com
I often make a quick bread and wrap it in a beautiful tea towel for a hostess gift.

My go-to is always a bottle of wine and some local, boutique chocolates. For those that don't like chocolate, I usually pick up Malvi marshmallow cookies.
Meehan.kate at gmail dot com
Just tried to subscribe. Waiting for the email to confirm. What a beautiful give away. I tried to leave a comment yesterday, but I seem to have failed. I've done all sorts of hostess gifts from handmade soaps to candles to cookies to wine, but this year in honor of our really early polar vortex I think I will hunt for special teas that I can package up in a lovely way. Holding a warm tea cup/mug and breathing in aromatic steam seems like a treat when it feels below zero out. You can reach me at [email protected]
i love the simplicity of the pillow covers. just made a batch of fire cider that i'm planning on giving away throughout the winter. i like the idea of giving away a health tonic with a kick. alexis.stephens at gmail dot com
My comment is just above this. Yeah!!! My subscription went through. Teas it is!!! [email protected]
i love the simplicity of the patterns and my plants would love to reside in a good plant cozy. hostess gifts depend on the person themselves as i try to be mindful of what they would like but i think a hard to kill plant is always a good one. [email protected]

I've never really given a hostess gift, people my age are just starting to get their first apartments after college and such. Being that we are all mostly broke, I just come with homemade goodies! For the fall I usually make brown sugar- coconut oil cookies. Ingredients are key!

If I'm out of town, or coming from out of town, I like to bring something somewhat representative of where I was (i.e. a jar of lavender when I went to meet my boyfriend's family for the first time and was coming straight from my study-abroad in South of France!).

Beautiful! My go to gift? A jar of my mum's world-class pickles or relish. Treasure in a jar!

Lovely!
A local shop carries these stunning and unique wine bottle toppers. I always have a few on hand to include with a bottle of wine.
A small jar of homemade jam is my go to!
Those are truly lovely! My go-to gifts are a bottle of wine or some craft beer and something edible and homemade- often a seasoned nut mix or dehydrated fruit such as apple chips.
I love giving edible gifts like cookies, jars of honey from our bees, or my favorite bottle of wine. Christmas cacti also make wonderful gifts for the green-thumbed! williams.sarahelizabeth AT gmail

I love to give freshly picked field flowers if it's a summery dinner or home made soap or candles. 🙂

Always a plant instead of flowers. Usually something they can use ( herbs are good) and a nice pot.

I'm incapable of showing up to someone's house without some type of sweet – typically oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
