Hi Everyone,
You know I love any excuse to invite guests over for sips and good company (and trust me, we’ve already had our fair share of fun in #projectGMdreamhome this month!), but when the holidays come around, I especially get the itch to entertain. There’s nothing like sharing your home with those you love, and in my opinion, nothing like making it extra festive with a few holiday entertaining accessories thrown in the mix. So without further ado, I’m sharing a few of my must-have bar and entertaining picks of the moment, and you can shop them below… Get that shopping cart ready. ;)
### **1. Red Peppermint DOF Glasses, Set of 4, $40**
I honestly don’t know if old fashioned glasses come any more charming than these! Yes, I’ll admit they’re a pretty obvious interpretation of holiday décor, but what other time of year do you get an excuse to use glasses this fun?
### **2. Little Gnome Wine Stopper, $30**
If you’re not powering through those full bottles of wine with friends, then you’ll definitely need a stylish wine stopper on hand. This little gnome adds such a fun touch to any bar setup, and that shiny gold hat is so in line with holiday style.
### **3. Bark Edge Charger, $29.50**
If you’re planning a dinner party with friends or family, adding chargers to your table is a must. They easily bring any table together in a cinch, and these natural wood ones add that perfect rustic touch that makes the holidays so warm and inviting.
### **4. Solid Copper Martini Glasses, Set of 2, $55**
Martinis for two! This shiny copper pair is perfect for the holidays, and makes the idea of sipping martinis surrounded by the glitz of the season seem that much more glamorous.
### **5. Marble & Copper Monogram Board, $39.95**
I love any chance to add a personal touch to my entertaining décor, and I love the classic style of this one from Williams Sonoma. Plus, they’re so affordable you could even pick up a few of them to spell out a short word if you’re serving lots of hors d’oeuvres to your guests.
### **6. Connery 32” Steel Bar Cart, Gold, $1,169**
Of course, no holiday party is complete without a stylish bar cart! Not only is this one incredibly fitting for the holidays, but it’s also simple enough to fit in with your décor and be used year round.
### **7. Jonathan Adler Vice Calories Canister, $98**
Jeff and I actually already have this canister in our house sitting proudly on our marble countertop! I love the festive red and white theme for the holidays, and the design almost reminds me of a circus tent. It’s just so fun (plus the blunt phrases make me laugh every time I look at it).
### **8. Classic Tartan Plaid Napkins, Set of 4, $69.95**
No holiday entertaining collection is complete without some festive napkins, right? It doesn’t get any more classic than a red tartan print, and this set is sure to last you for years to come.
### **9. Ralph Lauren Home Greenwich Decanter, $195**
Every good bar set up deserves to be adorned with at least one stunning decanter. This one by Ralph Lauren is classic enough to work year-round, but I love that the etched pattern almost resembles a festive Christmas plaid.
### **10. The Emily & Meritt Gold Top Hat Ice Bucket, $39.50**
How fun is this ice bucket? It’s so unique but not too over the top (hat)—the perfect balance for any holiday soirée.
**How are you decking your bar for the holidays?**
I hope you found a thing or two that you love here... Now it’s time to raise a glass to the last week of holiday entertaining!
Cheers,
xx
