holiday entertaining

With the holidays comes entertaining (one of my personal favorite pastimes). As I’ve said before, I absolutely love to have people over whether it’s for cocktails, brunch, or dinner. This time of year there are so many opportunities to entertain at your home. Whether it’s a holiday themed party, celebrating the new year, watching football, or just gathering some of your closest and dearest, the reasons to host a little soiree are truly endless. I have a tiny (or not so tiny) obsession with shopping for those necessary entertaining accessories, and here is a peek at a few of the items I’m currently coveting.

I always feel small bites and appetizers are the way to go when it comes to throwing a party, and this mini appetizer set from Z Gallerie is perfect for just that.

Napkins are a crucial component to any sort of party, and I love these from Stone Textile Studio because the gold, grey, and black color combination is neutral, yet festive.

I love these champagne flutes from Crate & Barrel because the swirl cut makes them a touch fancier than your standard plain glass flutes.

I don’t typically use a runner, but I absolutely adore this one from Z Gallerie, and I think it would look beautiful on any holiday table.

I think having fondue at a party is a fun (and delicious) idea, whether with cheese or chocolate, and this one from Pier 1 Imports is just right.
