2014 Holiday Gift Guide: Entertaining Gifts

Here it is…the second installment of the ConfettiStyle Holiday Gift Guide.

This week I’m sharing some really awesome gift items perfect for the person or family that loves to entertain!

Let the shopping and the party begin!

I’m so excited about all of these items, so excited in fact that I had to rush out and pick up a few of them for myself~

No holiday party is complete without a dish of mixed nuts or holiday mints and here’s the perfect way to serve those treats in style. This Appetizer Spoon Serving Dish is also available in silver. Z Gallerie $ 29.95

The Meridian Decanter is a great way to serve holiday beverages and decorate the cocktail bar at the same time. That gold interlaced topper is what won me over. Z Gallerie $ 39.95

I didn’t walk, I ran to buy these adorable Buffalo Check Mini Appetizer Plate Set from C. Wonder. Black, white and red with a touch of gold–it doesn’t get much better than this. Set of 8 for $54.00

I saw this Acropolis Platter and instantly fell in love. The marble surface and gold rim is classic and chic and the $29.95 price is a great deal. Z Gallerie

If you’re looking for a gift for someone who entertains for every holiday, then the Nora Fleming Appetizer and Egg Tray is the perfect item. This is a functional tray but what makes it really fun is that it can be personalized for every occasion with the interchangeable minis. Tray and minis available from Smith’s The Store.

Cocktail napkins are one of my favorite hostess gift items and when possible I always have them personalized Zebra Stripe Cocktail and Buffet Napkins are available from Horchow–$ 56.00 to $80.00 for a set of 100.

Anthropologie draws me in every season with their collection of bowls. The Gilded Thistle Nut Bowls can be used to serve so many types of food and desserts, and the gold details is just so pretty. Anthropologie $ 12.00 ea

Looking for a stylish gift for the men on your list? How about these masculine but elegant Glimmer Ring Coasters? Available from Anthropologie for $6.00 ea.

I was walking through World Market a couple weeks ago and spotted these Gold Lace Metal Candle Hurricanes. I was immediately drawn to them because of how pretty and elegant they were and then when I saw the price I knew they’d make my holiday gift list. $3.99-$12.99 from World Market {also available in silver}

And finally what just might be my favorite entertaining gift of the season! These Personalized Wooden Drink Stirrers are such a unique item and perfect for every entertaining occasion. 100 for $65.00 available from Horchow.
