Beautiful and Unusual Gift Ideas for your Host and the Home

Beautiful Bowls, RICE BOWL SET -  You won't want to lock these beautiful bowls in a cabinet when you're not using them. Stored in an elegant black wood presentation box, this set of five vine-patterned ceramic bowls is perfect for rice or miso soup, but looks great in your dining room even when you're not using it. Made in Japan.

It Don't Mean a Thing, SWING TUMBLERS - It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing! These colorful translucent glasses turn every beverage into a cause for celebration. Whether you wet your whistle with a tall glass of orange juice or a Long Island iced tea, you'll like the way the curved glass fits in your hand and how the vibrant translucent hues make you feel. Designed in Germany. Sold individually or as a set.

Drink Up The Sunshine, CAPRI MARGARITA SET - Don't be drinking your margaritas out of the wrong glass. Blended or on the rocks, regular or strawberry, with or without salt, your margaritas and other seasonal drinks will look and taste better in one of these festive glasses. The shallow design flares into a large rim for salt and slurping, but leaves room at the bottom for a healthy-sized beverage, and the lead-free glasses have painted stems that are fired for color adhesion.

Fruit Medley, CORDIAL FRUIT GLASS - Add a dash of color to your collection with these festive schnapps glasses, each festooned with a different glass fruit inside. Apple, pear, grapes or cherries sit on the bottom of your delicate stemware cordial. A delightful way to add personality to your favorite after-dinner drink.

Let It Breathe, CAPTAIN'S DECANTER - Let the wind out of your sails and relax with a nice glass of wine. Even landlovers will love the luxury of this beautiful, glass decanter. The wide base allows wine to aerate quickly, helping to release the wine's natural flavors and aromas in no time. When you're not using the decanter to ventilate your vino, it becomes a striking accent piece on a kitchen shelf or bar counter. Perfect gift for dads, newlyweds, the boss or any wine lover in your life. Made in Poland. Hand wash for lasting luster.

Crystal Clear, 5 PC EXECUTIVE LIQUOR SET - When you want to make a lasting impression, this gorgeous five piece crystal liquor set is the perfect gift. The 13 ounce decanter and four glasses are made of Atlantis Portuguese crystal, said to be the purest form of crystal available and distinguishable from others by its greater resonance, luminosity, weight and perfection. The beautiful, bottom-heavy 3 ounce glasses are wonderful to hold and when not in use, they rest beside the decanter in a handsome, lined, navy blue box. Great gift for distinguished friends. Tray not included.

Natural Setting, TWIG 5 PC PLACE SETTING - There is poetry in Michael Arams twig motif from his Signature Collection. As broken twigs in autumn suggest a quiet humility, so these pieces maintain a subdued elegance. The organic character will keep you connected to Mother Earth, even as you dine indoors in a chilly winter season.

Twisted Candle Holder, Graham Bergh and his team of gifted artisans in Portland, OR make an amazing range of funky household items from tons of recycled bike parts. This double twisted candleholder is like a deeply rooted tree: its trunk sprouting strong branches, gnarled and twisted, yet ever triumphant. Automotive timing chains are the branches, and cogs form the candleholders. The base turns (sounding like a freewheel click) so you may change the direction of the high and low candleholder. Incredibly utilitarian, defiantly beautiful.

SUNSET WINE TOTE, Whether it's your job to bring the wine or you want to celebrate a romantic spur of the moment, this insulated wine tote will solve your problems in as little space possible. The compact over-the-shoulder sling includes two glasses, blue and white checkered napkins, a reusable cork, a waiter's tool with corkscrew, and a separate insulated compartment to keep your wine at its correct temperature.

Sushi and Swirls, SPIRAL PLATES & BOWLS - Serve your sushi and soup with swirls of style. These black ceramic pieces have natural curls swirling into a distinct design that'll set your entrees apart from the rest. The sushi plates are sloped for proper presentation, and come with side dishes indented for resting your chopsticks. The deep bowls also have grooves for resting chopsticks, and are great for miso or noodle soups. Made in Japan. Comes with two pair of chopsticks.

Two Hearts Beat as One HEARTS PAPERWEIGHT - This brushed aluminum paperweight is made of two separate pieces that fit perfectly together, just like you and your sweetheart! Because it is made of two pieces, one of you can keep the frame of the heart, and the other can hold onto the center. When together as a unit, the center rests gently against the back of the frame, so it won't fall out. It's a beautiful, thoughtful way to truly express that the two of you are made for each other. From metal artist Michael Aram.
