The holiday gift guides are here! This year I’m starting with some of my favorite gifts that find their way to the table. A bottle worth opening, something delicious to share, or a beautiful piece to make entertaining more fun… This guide is for the foodies, winos, and gracious hosts on your list.
French Bloom NA Champagne
For the non-drinker who loves the ritual of opening something special, this alcohol-free French sparkling wine brings a celebratory option to the table. A thoughtful bottle for hosts who want everyone included in the toast.
High Camp Parkside Flask
For good wine beyond the dining room. This insulated flask holds a full wine bottle and comes with two tumblers that attach magnetically. It’s a perfect thing to travel with for picnics, boat days and beyond.
Fountain Champagne Toast Deluxe
A celebration delivered! A half-bottle of Veuve Clicquot, champagne flutes, a Voluspa candle, and Compartes Champagne dark chocolate. An easy way to send a festive thank-you or a little holiday cheer.
Marco Colzani Pistachio Cream
A little taste of Sicily, made with just four ingredients: toasted Sicilian pistachios, Italian sugar, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt. Pair a jar with croissants, dark chocolate or fresh berries for an easy holiday gift or dessert.
Durand Wine Opener
For the collector with older bottles in their cellar. This is a wine cork designed to remove fragile corks without damaging them. It works really well and makes a great gift!
Glasvin Universal Wine Glasses
Lightweight, elegant stems are what make a glass a great glass! This one has a versatile shape that works across wine styles, and is dishwasher-safe (a must!).
Maison Balzac Olive Plate
A small glass plate with a sense of humor. Gift it with a jar of excellent olives for the martini enthusiast or a friend who always has an appetizer spread ready.
Georg Jensen Sky Wine Carafe
Mouth-blown glass shapes this sleek Scandinavian carafe. It’s beautiful enough to leave on display, with a shaped neck that makes pouring easy.
Estelle Colored Glass Custom Coupes
A little color for cocktail hour! Choose six of their gorgeous shades to create a personal set, whether that means neutrals or a jewel-toned mix.
France Wine Puzzle
For the wine lover who already has it all… This illustrated puzzle explores France’s wine regions, with grape profiles and pairing notes adding something to learn along the way. Best accompanied by an open bottle!
Levain Bakery Signature Cookie Assortment
Big six-ounce cookies in four classic flavors from a legendary bakery. These are an easy gift for a family, a holiday host, or anyone who appreciates a serious cookie!
Modica Chocolate Citrus Sampler
From Modica, Sicily, where Bonajuto has made chocolate since 1880. When I first had Modica chocolate after my visit this summer I was hooked. I have been ordering it online ever since!
Petrossian Royal Ossetra Caviar
For the friend who would happily make an evening out of caviar and Champagne. I am not a caviar expert (or fan, admittedly) but this is a classic choice and I do think it makes a nice gift. Add blinis and crème fraîche to complete the occasion!
Brass Anolini Pasta Stamp
A beautifully weighty brass tool, handmade by a family workshop in Emilia-Romagna. It cuts neat, fluted rounds for filled pasta and doubles as a cutter for cookies or decorative pie crust. A lovely gift for the cook who enjoys the process as much as the meal.
Marble Cheese Curler
A little dinner-party theater. When you turn the blade it shaves rosettes from a wheel of cheese. The marble base makes it feel gift-worthy, and include the cheese so they can put it straight to work.
Alessi Parmenide Cheese Grater
Can you tell I love cheese? I couldn’t leave this out, though. This is a sculptural take on an everyday tool. The ergonomic shape fits nicely in your hand, it’s holiday-colored, and pairs well as with a wedge of excellent Parmesan.
CBK: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy: A Life in Fashion
For the hostess whose style extends beyond the table. This photographic tribute to the queen of elegance – Carolyn Bessette Kennedy – explores her lasting influence on fashion.
Flamingo Estate Prinsesstarta Candle + Matchbox
This candle is the best! It is inspired by Swedish princess cake and smells divine, especially if you are a dessert lover. Pair it with this floral matchbox for a pretty finishing touch.
Trudon Candle Snuffer
An elegant little accessory for the candle enthusiast, and another thoughtful companion to a favorite candle.
Entertaining Bundle
This canvas wine tote and four cocktail napkins make a lovely little entertaining set, with optional personalization for a thoughtful finishing touch. Tuck in a favorite bottle and your next hostess gift is handled.
Personalized Cocktail Napkins
A gift that makes cocktail hour feel considered. These scalloped napkins come in different designs and can be personalized with a saying or initials for a gift that feels especially thoughtful.
Mia Mini Vase Trio
A few flowers can change the whole table. These small recycled-glass vases make an arrangement out of just a handful of stems. Perfect with a few seasonal blooms!
Claus Porto Guest Soaps
I found these soaps when traveling to Portugal! This box of miniature soaps in four scents and colors makes a pretty gift for a hostess and brings a little luxury to a guest bath.
Happy gifting!
