Give your hostess a little cheer
(excerpt)
Short on time? Bring your host a nice bottle of wine along with some of these wine accessories.
Appetizer plate
So you're at a cocktail party sipping wine, but naturally you're
drawn to the table of goodies. How do you balance your glass and the
snacks without everything landing on your friend's carpet? We're fans
of these ingenious wine glass appetizer plates that fit nicely on top
of your glass. $16.95 for a set of four. www.catchingfireflies.com
Bottle stoppers
Nothing is worse than a cork that just won't fit back in the bottle.
Assuming you have any wine left after your shindig, leave your hostess
with one of these bottle stoppers. The messages, "Wine tastes better
with friends" and "May your glass always be half full," capture the
essence of sharing wine with others. $8.95 . www.catchingfireflies.com
