PRESENT PICKS FROM OUR FOUNDER

A good rule of gifting thumb: when in doubt, go for gold. Or silver. (As long as it's shiny.)

I can personally guarantee that these will not fall into the "oh gee, another candle" bucket. In fact, our Dinner Party and After Party candles are my go-to gift for just about everyone on my list.

Big Night Cocktail Picks are the ultimate stocking stuffer. For someone who likes their beverages spicy, or briny, or just a little bit more...country.

I do all my gifting just hoping I'll get a wow. Like, I want to hear them say it: WOW. I'm betting on these to do the trick.

Here's a no-brainer: the cutting board that's also a serving platter that's also a kitchen conversation-starter, in a rainbow of colors.

Every martini drinker in my life deserves her own unique gift (just like her martini order):

For someone who could really use a getaway...I'll bring the hotel to them.

And, 3 unexpected presents for my hard-to-gift friends: a French-made bottle opener, an irresistibly chunky mug, and sparkly fever-dream wine charms.

And last but (I hope!) not least, for your gift consideration: the Big Night book. With 85+ recipes, 12 menus, and so many fun tips and ideas in between, I wrote this book for every person who loves to cook, eat, and host. Thank you for sharing this book with the people you love most!
