7 Must-haves for Every Host

We believe entertaining should look and feel (nearly) effortless. That’s especially important with so many of us opting to host more intimate – and relaxed – gatherings, as well as outdoor affairs, which can present additional challenges. Read on for the essentials that can make even an impromptu soiree feel low-maintenance and high-style.

1.

Optima Chill Cell Beverage Dispenser

Part of our innovative Professional Series Serveware Collection, this beverage dispenser has unrivaled cooling technologies that make it ideal for serving anything from cucumber water to chilled sangria. An ice chamber suspended in the reservoir ensures your drinks stay cold for hours on end without dilution. The base is even double walled so condensation won’t build up on the outside.

2.

Hot/Cold 3-piece Set

Spend your time reconnecting with family or friends instead of monitoring your serving table. Our caterer-style Serving Trays contain a thermosensitive core that keeps appetizers hot or cold for approximately two hours. Simply place the trays in the refrigerator or a low-temperature oven prior to use, and then set them out at your party.

Super Chill Wine Caddy

Forget the cumbersome ice bucket – the Super Chill Wine Caddy keeps your favorite bottles of wine chilled for hours without ice. Just place in the freezer overnight and enjoy a perfectly chilled glass of wine (or two) with guests.

4.

Carved Wood & Marble Serveware Collection

Intricately handcarved mango wood contrasts with lustrous white marble to create stunning serveware that’s sure to spark conversation. The round and rectangular trays, two-tiered server, entertaining & serving bowls – and even charcuterie picks – create a cohesive tabletop presentation that elevates any occasion.

Camila Dinnerware Collection

If you entertain frequently, you want dinnerware that looks good and performs even better. This earthenware collection features a textured pattern inspired by nature. Each piece is hand-glazed and is dishwasher and microwave safe.

6.

Folding Table & Chairs

Just because your dining table only seats a few people doesn’t mean you can’t host all your friends and family. Not only do our folding tables and chairs look like stationary furniture, but they also collapse with ease after everyone goes home. So go ahead and blast out that e-invitation!

Finnley Bar Cabinet

Encourage guests to craft their own cocktails by stocking a bar cabinet with all the essentials. The Finnley Bar Cabinet features interior lighting, two wine bottle storage shelves and a hanging wine glass rack for entertaining.
