Martha Stewart has been schooling us on how to be better hosts since her first book, "Entertaining," came out in 1982. For decades, people have routinely turned to the businesswoman, TV host and author for tips on everything from how to create the perfect table setting to crafting a delicious cocktail. Ahead of the holidays, we asked her to share some of her favorite items, from the hostess gift she'll be giving this year to the kitchen staple that is "absolutely essential" to her routine. |

| "I have to stay very organized and I have a week-at-a-glance calendar with me at all times, so I always know exactly where I'm going to be tomorrow, the next day," Stewart says. For anyone who wants to take a page from the lifestyle expert's book, we found this week-at-a-glance calendar with ruled hourly appointment times, so you can stay on top of all your commitments. $19.22 $27.99 |

When it comes to the products Stewart uses in her morning beauty routine, she's a big fan of Mario Badescu. "I use a lot of Mario Badescu," Stewart says. "I use their Azulene soap and their AHA soap in the shower and on my sinks." $14.25 $15.00 |

| Stewart also likes to use the brand's "lovely spray tonics." This rosewater mist can be used in multiple ways to hydrate the skin throughout the day or give it a dewy glow post-makeup application. $5.32 $8.00 |

"I love their peptide serum," Stewart shares. The moisture-rich serum is made with ingredients like glycerin, green tea, aloe vera and more, which the brand says work in tandem to hydrate skin and improve the appearance of wrinkles. $45.00 |

"I like [Samsung's] Frame TV because it just sits on the wall and looks like a framed picture," Stewart says. "And you can actually put up any number of famous paintings on that and then it turns into a television." $847.99 $997.99 |

| | If Stewart is giving a hostess gift next year, she says she's wrapping up her upcoming cookbook. Her 100th book to date (releasing on Nov. 12), it contains photos from the author's personal archives as well as an "intimate collection" of recipes and the stories behind them. $36.00 $40.00 |
