Stylish Summer Host Gifts

Memorial Day is right around the corner, if you can believe! Have your barbecue invites appeared yet? If not, they will. Be prepared for even last minute invitations with a thoughtful host or hostess gift. This roundup of fab finds will get you invited back before summer is over. 

 

Scalloped Block Print Napkins

Bring these to your next garden party. Sold in sets of four. Perfect for any hostess with style!

Mark and Graham

Acrylic Glass Set of Four

Perfect for patio and pool parties! Available in five colors with a pitcher to match. (sold separately.)

Anthropologie

Calirosa Rosa Blanco Tequila

Bringing a bottle? Make it an interesting one! If tequila and rosé had a baby, it would be this pretty pink spirit. It's actually singer Adam Levine's brand and it gets high marks. Perfect for sippers, shot shooters, and margarita makers. Comes in at just under $50.

Wine

Citronella & Thyme Candle

I love useful products that are pretty, too. Terrain offers several scents and sizes. These will keep the bugs at bay and scent any space deliciously.

Terrain

Grill Prep & Marinade Tray

A genius gift for any griller. The bottom tray is for marinating or just getting the raw food to the grill. The printed top tray is melamine. It acts as a lid while marinating or carrying. Then after cooking, it will transport the food to the table without contaminating. It's lovely!

William Sonoma

Lacquer Bean Bag Toss Set

If you are invited for the weekend, bring the fun! An overnight stay calls for a bigger gift.  It's a wonderful family gift, as all ages can enjoy it. Select colors are on sale. Make it even more special with personalization.

Americana Cocktail Napkin Set

Memorial Day and 4th of July perfect! The set is under $35 and ships for free from...

Saks Fifth Avenue

Round Rattan Serving Tray

Handmade with Love by 376 Women Artisans . Love that. The carry handles are perfect for carrying from inside to outside or any room in the house.

Etsy

Areaware Flower Salad Servers

Pass the salad, please. These are the perfect gift for a garden get together or patio party. Surely they will  turn heads (of lettuce). They are made from sapel wood and then oiled. 

Food52

Personalized Charcuterie Tray

Available in several sizes and stain colors, but this 8" x 12" is my favorite. It's not too big or too small. Super good looking!
Etsy

Tropicale Bamboo Pitcher

Pour up some fun! This good looking gift is under $20. Even better when you fill it with some sangria and present it to your host.

Sur La Table

Lafco Discovery Trio
One of my favorite "little" gifts to give. It's a great way to sample fragrances, and wonderful to have in the gift closet. For $16 you select three scents of your choice. Choose from Duchess Peony, Paloma Melon, Champagne and many more. The candles are perfect for travel, ship for free, and you get a $16 coupon for a future purchase. It is so pleasingly presented, too. It's a winner.

Autumn came to an abrupt halt in Chicago yesterday, when Mother Nature tricked the city with a blanket of snow. However, Fall is still doing it's best work on Instagram, as seen above in the Zhush feed. Before we all get on with our weekend, here are some links that will save you money, guarantee a good nights sleep, keep you warm and detox your hair!

This season’s hottest cold-weather coats have arrived at Barney's New York.  This chic collection is the coolest way to stay warm. I don't know how much longer they will be open, so find inspiration today. Fabulous! 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Nordstrom now features pet accessories! There are over 100 fun finds for your furry friends! Of course, it all ships for free.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Slate States: Here's your next host gift. Slate State platters with chalk. Bring the cheese course, and gift your hostess with the platter. Really nice looking and under $30. Shop them at Sundance Catalog.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Holiday shops are popping up all over the Internet. One of the sweetest is at Maisonette. Find the cutest monogrammed PJ'S,  indulgent inspiration and simple stocking stuffers. I love the fab finds from all around the world. This is not your average kids store.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Settle down and save with down bedding from Pacific Coast. Be thankful for luxurious sleep with 20% off pillows and featherbeds. If you haven't dressed your bed or the guest bed with a featherbed yet, you are missing out. We love ours. It's like sleeping in the clouds. And if you are allergic, they offer down alternatives.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

Two Sales at Bloomingdale's: Cashmere! With over 300 styles, save 30% on designs by Bloomingdale's and Aqua Cashmere. AND take 25% off when you buy two or more of select women's shoes. Both deals end 11/03.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

G Tox Himalayan Salt Scrub Shampoo: I thoroughly believe in the wonders of Himalayan Sea Salt. It's pure, natural, and filled with good for you minerals. It seems that doctors don't know about it. So I am not surprised that this shampoo is so good for our hair and scalp. I think I will try it. Read about it at goop.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Oh Honey:  Is anyone else in love with those Beekman Boys? I use their facial wipes and soap daily. But now I am thinking about sweets, namely good for you, honey. This treat is sustainably sourced and made in Upstate New York. The honey is pure and raw, which is the healthiest way to eat it. Think flavors like lavender, lemon cream, ginger, and more.
What a treat!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Light your fire with the cutest matches ever! An adorable host gift.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Line & Dot's Linda Fringe Coat: What a cute coat for under $200.  Shop it at Shopbop. 

This weekend, I wish you eyes to see the beauty of Autumn,  good health, and happiness. Please know how thankful I am for all of you.

Eight Fab Finds For Your Home

Following my recent surgery, I have spent quite a bit of time at home. Besides blogging, I have assessed some of my home decor needs and wants. The list is long. But to me, nothing is worth buying unless it is special. We all have enough "stuff." So I spent the day looking for finds that had that certain something, that went beyond function.  These eight products have the cool factor in both form and function.  I thought they were just fab!

Solar Power Lanterns

At first glance this photo reminded me of the patio at the original Tavern on The Green in NYC. Those lanterns in every shape and color were just magical. These late Summer evenings will soon turn into Autumn nights. The daylight ends earlier with each day. Yet the evenings are beautiful. Stay out a little longer with these lovely lanterns powered by solar energy. They are made to withstand all weather, so you can keep the party going all year long.

Anthropologie

Snurk Living Duvet Sets
Oh my goodness, these are the cutest bedding sets you ever did see. Your kids and grand kids will actually want to go to bed! This small independent label based in Amsterdam creates out-of-this world photographic designs printed on high-quality cotton and velour in Portugal.  There is a set for every sleepyhead and their wildest dreams.
Maisonette

Verpan × Verner Panton
I was intrigued by this photo, and I thought you might be, too. It's actually one of the coolest bar carts I have ever seen. It's called a Bar Boy.  Haven't you always wanted one?Perfect for small spaces. Sections swing out or in, as your needs require. And if serving a chic cocktail is not your thing, try it for office storage.  It's available in four fab colors. I think it's cooler than cool.
A Plus R Store

Jonathan Adler Eve Accent Bowl

Doesn't everyone need a helping hand? Inspired by "Eve" this bowl flaunts your favorite temptations. It's a real conversation starter.
Jonathan Adler

Toastabags

These Toaster Bags are just the toast of the town! Make  grilled cheese without the mess. How fun is that? I think it is genius for kids. Now they can make their own without getting near the stove. Learn more at 

Food52

Birch Bundle

With today's heat wave, it is hard to believe that any night now will be time to light the fireplace.  Be ready when the time comes. These beautiful bundles of birch are almost too beautiful to burn. They make a fabulous host gift, 

don't you think? Use Code 15FORALL to save 15%.

Jayson Home

Del Sol Basket Set
This photo took me back. I did something like this on a wall in my very first married apartment. Not half as good as this set, however. The Del Sol Baskets have been handwoven in South Africa. The artistry is 
really amazing. 
Serena & Lily

Ceramic Chime Sets
There's something magical about a wind chime to me. They always remind me of my Mother, who loved the sound of her own (now mine) as they tinkled in the wind.  These have been made on the Willamette River in Portland. I thought they were special.
