Winter is officially upon us, and though we may long for sunshine on our faces and outdoor dinner parties, there’s so much to relish in during these cold months — and so many cozy ways to entertain. This year, I’m focusing on creating joy and staying grounded, with simple pleasures like unique candles, good champagne, and a few party tricks. Read on for my winter faves.
Not your average candles. Greentree Home Rope Tapers
“One of my winter rituals is to light candles at dinner every night. It brings a cozy, merry feeling to the meal — and makes everyone look beautiful. These candles are simple and elegant — with a literal twist. I love the soft colors for winter: wild plum, sage, and soft gray.”

Linen love. RW Guild Linen Napkins
“I’m always a fan of linen, but there’s something about these hand-loomed napkins that really speaks to me for winter. The weave is natural and not too fussy, which adds a rustic look to your tablescape. I love the unfinished edges and naturally dyed colorways. Add a sprig of eucalyptus or rosemary to complete the rustic vibe.”

Bring on the bubbly. William Yeoward Champagne Coupes
“I love serving champagne in winter — there’s something so festive and fun about it. This year, I’ll serve it in these crystal coups, which feel like the perfect update on a classic.”

Care for some pop? Houses & Parties Marbled Crackers
“I love busting out a surprising party favor or game when the party needs a pick-me-up. These marbled party poppers are as festive — and stylish — as it gets, filled with conversation-starting prompts that will make everyone LOL.”

Caviar for everyone. Roe Caviar
“I recently discovered this brand of caviar, which I love not only for its deliciousness but for its elegant yet down-to-earth packaging. (It comes in a wood box!) It’s harvested from a farm in northern California, and tastes amazing on potato chips or my personal favorite, Fritos Scoops.”

Naughty & nice. Santa's List Place Cards
“I’m so excited to use our new Santa’s List Place Cards at my holiday table. The host gets to play Santa and decide who’s naughty and who’s nice. I know which one my husband’s getting. :)”
