Gift Guide: The Hostess

image

One of my favorite gifts to give and receive deals with entertaining. The older I get, the more I love to upgrade items in my apartment and have friends and family over for meals and parties. This gift guide will be dedicated to the women in our lives who love nothing more than sending out paper invites, creating a signature cocktail and hosting soirees.

On a recent trip to California, I came across Kelly Wearstler’s home products and I was instantly hooked. I encourage you to take a look at the whole range, which is very feminine with touches of vintage and edgy metals. The items that I loved the most are her wine stoppers, especially the two shown in the photo. The faceted wine stopper goes for $175 and the Bejeweled spear wine stopper is $195.

Trivets can be so boring. That’s why we love Anthropologie’s take on the traditional trivet. This Agate slice is sure to catch the eyes of your guests. It’s $198.

I’ve become a big fan of mismatched tea cups and saucers. There’s something special about serving your guests from dainty china rather than generic coffee cups. J. Crew recently started carrying Seletti Zora’s line and we can’t get enough of it. The tea cup and saucer is $46.50.

We’ve written before how smitten we are with Fornasetti’s candles and they truly are the perfect gift for a host.

What’s on this entertainer’s gift list? Thomas Fuchs’s marble skull head cheese board, pictured above. I love how edgy it is but pretty at the same time. It’s $358.
