‘Tis the season for Christmas bundt cakes, clinking champagne glasses, and charcuterie boards by the fire. With the darkest days of the year upon us, gathering with friends, while enjoying good food and drink, keeps my spirits high. Whether I’m hosting my own party or making a dish to tote at a friend’s house, I love elevating my presentation with fancy dishes, glasses, and serving utensils. Seasonal reds served in stemless wine glasses add a festive vibe, and a spiral bundt pan makes a bakery-worthy cake.

Caraway Ceramic Coated Roasting Pan

I envision a glazed holiday ham perfectly perched on the rack inside Caraway’s on-sale roasting pan. This set features a stainless steel rack that sits inside a ceramic-coated nonstick pan (perfect for collecting the drippings). This pan boasts optimal heat retention and is easy to clean with a gentle scrub. Plus, the nonstick coating is free of harmful, PFOAs, PTFEs, and toxic metals, like lead and cadmium, which might be important to you. The biggest perk? It’s compatible with all stove tops for easy gravy-making, too.  

Toscana Insignia Slate Charcuterie Serving Set 

Picnic Time’s slate serving board — complete with tools hidden away in a wooden drawer — provides an impeccable presentation for specialty cheeses, artisanal meats, and crusty bread. Plus, it doubles as both a cutting board and a serving plate, as the removable 9.5-inch slate tray unveils a solid acacia wood cutting base. The set includes three titanium-plated tools with acacia wood handles: a cheese shaver, a serrated knife, and a clean-edged knife. For nearly 30% off, it’s well worth adding to your cart. 

Libbey 12-Piece Signature Wine Glass Set

I just love a glass that does it all, and these stemless finds will work great for toasting some bubbly or everyday sipping. These sophisticated glasses are crafted of durable glass, for brilliance and strength. The set comes with six optimally shaped glasses for red wines, and six six optimally shaped glasses for white wines. They are also dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup when you’re hosting a crowd. 

Kate Spade New York Love Dessert Serving Set

Expect a few oohs and aahs when you break out this Kate Spade designer dessert set at your next cake-cutting. These gold and silver-plated keepsakes add a luxurious twist to the dessert table — enough to spark a conversation. The cake server is etched with the words “you & me,” making it a perfect Christmas engagement or winter wedding gift that couples can break out again during special occasions. One five-star reviewer called it a “great bridal shower gift,” and said they would definitely recommend it. 

Famiware Jupiter 12-Piece Dinnerware Set

Sometimes you need to spring for a whole new dinnerware set, especially when the one you own is chipped, scratched, and tired. (That’s about where I’m at.) I just love that Famiware’s hand-fired stoneware is designed with the planet Jupiter in mind. Featuring a hand-painted edge inspired by the planet’s colors and Europa’s orbit around Jupiter, each piece lends its own unique nuances. This dinnerware is scratch-resistant, dishwasher- and microwave-safe, stackable, and coated with a beautiful food-grade glaze. 

Nordic Ware Heritage Gold Bundt Pan

This heritage bundt pan makes a great self-gift that can be passed down for generations, and your guests will ogle over the spiral presentation of the cake it produces. Built of durable cast aluminum, it features the right level of heat conductivity for even browning and yields intricate cake details. The nonstick coating assures an easy cleanup, too (even in the nooks and crannies).
