| This tray is clean, crisp and modern — all things I love. I could imagine serving some Blue Snowflake martinis on it at a holiday party. The handles also make it easy to carry around and serve your guests. |

I love the shape and color of the Camille Tray. Blue isn't a traditional Christmas color, but I'd love to infuse a bit of this hue into my next holiday color scheme.

| I love the sheen of this tray. It's not too in-your-face shiny, but it provides that perfect amount of shimmer to go with some soft candlelight. Serve up some hot toddies and call it a night. |

If you're not into the colored cordial stemware from above, then maybe you'll like this sophisticated set of amber crackle stemware instead. It's a beautiful neutral color that would go well in any setting.

| This one costs a little more than I'd ever spend on a tray, but it's gorgeous and I just had to share! I love the buff and cream color palette — so chic. Share some tasty treats with this tray or simply put it on display as art. |

| Inform your guests about the cheeses they are being served with a chalk note on this slate tray. Or if you're not serving cheese, maybe do some wine tastings and write the names below. |
