Wishlist | Lazy Hostess Gifts

With holiday season in full swing, everyone has eating, drinking and partying on the brain.  Now’s the time to thank your favorite hostess, who has been tirelessly entertaining you all year long, with some gorgeous gifts.  No doubt any of these could make a featured appearance at an upcoming celebration.

Ice, Ice Baby
The gorgeous acrylic trays from IOMOI now have a stylish sibling.  Newly launched, the Ice Bucket ($68) can be customized with a monogram, name or address in a variety of bright colors with whimsical patterns or Palm Beach prints a la Lily Pulitzer.

Bamboo Elegance
Featured at the MOMA store, this award winning Espresso Set ($45) is a tray that comes with 6 inset bamboo saucers, 6 porcelain cups and 6 stainless steel spoons that can easily be used to serve dessert instead of coffee.  The Jakob Wagner bamboo serving board ($80) has an elegant ergonomically designed slant for easy transport.

Bedtime RX
A pill on the nightstand is reinterpreted by Jonathan Adler with his cheeky new glass water carafe.  Available in a variety of color combos including yellow/white, turquoise/white and tomato/white (Tylenol inspired?).

Fruit Bowl
Named for its three feet, the Trepied collection by Eno features whimsical ceramic and solid beech wood bowls ($50-$140) that can be used for so much more than fruit on your tabletop.
