Sedaris keeps readers on the floor laughing with tips for nosy guests (fill your medicine cabinet with marbles) and etiquette pointers (inappropriate intros, things not to say to those who are grieving). But don't worry, she also includes real recipes and kitschy craft projects. Get two. You'll want to keep one for yourself and, yes, you still need one for your New Year's hostess. I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence starting at $18.47 |
Friday Rap Up: Get Your Gift OnDecember 28, 2007Posted by: Julie K.
For the weekend kickoff: Get ready for New Year's Eve with a colorful set of champagne flutes. For the kid at heart: The Alu Sled, a high-tech lightweight aluminum sled sure to make any dad's snow day. (via Uncrate) For New Year's Day: After ringing in 2008, cure your hangover with a Bloody Mary Breakfast Gift Basket.
For your imaginative kid: A super silly and one-of-a-kind handmade sock puppet. (via Babygadget) For your party host: If you're not afraid of DIY, bring a homemade bottle of infused vodka. (Hostess with the Mostess) |
Ice, Ice, BabyDecember 27, 2007Posted by: Megan H.
Impress all your guests with a fire-and-ice-themed New Year's Eve shindig. Or just add a fun touch to any ol' party. Not hosting? Gift your host/hostess with a set (extra shots, er, props if you make a few before you go). |
Elegant Candle LighterDecember 27, 2007Posted by: Gillian J.
Save her and everyone else from such a travesty and bring this sleek, highly functional candle lighter as a hostess gift. With just a push of a button, the long, baton lighter lights all types of candles and is pretty enough to sit on the table! Tacky travesty averted! |
Decanter for the HostessDecember 26, 2007Posted by: Gillian J.
The L'Atelier Du Vun Decanter Wine Carafe is a great choice for the hostess who loves her wine and loves to entertain. Elegant and sophisticated, the decanter wine carafe features a unique design that gently channels wine down the inner walls off the carafe creating optimal taste, so you can rest assured that you will be giving it in good taste! |
A New Twist on BubblyDecember 26, 2007Posted by: Megan H.
These Champagne Stunt Doubles make a fantastic gift for your New Year’s Eve party hostess. My favorite is a toss up between Italy’s Prosecco and Spain’s Cava, but you can let your hostess and her guests be the judge. Each set of three bottles comes paired with a wine guide that’s fun to browse over a glass of bubbly. |
