Serve your favorite beverage by creating a stunning visual display with this beautiful glass dispenser. We tend to use 2 of these at most events to give guests multiple drink choices.

Prime cuts of meat take on a new meaning with these gourmet grilling spices. We love that the Argentina Steak Rub uses a delicious combo of chimichurri and citrus. The Kansas uses a fantastic combo of sweet and ancho/chipotle. Great for a gift or a BBQ gathering.
Grilling Spice Set
Grilling is about two things... temperature and spices. This 5 spice gift set transforms meat into a mouth-watering delicious meal. We love that the purchase of this spice set will also help feed hungry children in need.

One word for these heavy crystal candle holders is ELEGANT. These candles at a touch of class to any table decor.

A delicate touch requires a delicate tool. This dusting wand evenly distributes powdered sugar, flour, cocoa or spices. Made of stainless steel, this tool will hold up to any job.

Blazer Food Torch
This kitchen butane torch allows you to put the finishing touches on gorgeous desserts. Easy to use, this powerful torch quickly heats for any culinary or craft project.

Have the ability to move around the kitchen while this mixer does the heavy lifting (or rather mixing). We have included two models. We recommend the professional for large families or people who like to double batches or make bread.
Cast Iron Dual Handle Pan
This heavy duty pan is excellent for searing and cooking meat and vegetables, but we also love baking rolls and brownies in them for a lovely crust. It transfers effortlessly from stovetop to oven. This heavy duty pan can do it all.
Microwave Popcorn Popper
The healthy and fast way to make popcorn in the microwave. Throw in some popcorn seasonings and this becomes a great gift!
Mid-length Butcher Apron
This basic, mid-thigh apron is easy to clean. Its poly/cotton blend is softer and has less wrinkles than cotton aprons. It has a very professional look and feel.

Rich Colored, Heat Resistant Outdoor Tablecloths
These tablecloths are spill-proof, they come in 10 rich colors and 5 common table sizes, and they are great for indoor or outdoor parties that need a touch of elegance.
White Porcelain Dinner Plates
A basic white plate fits into any theme, which is why we love them. These plates and bowls have a little curve to them, which not only adds interest, it helps keep in sauces and gravies. The plates also come in lovely colors for variety.

These clean design, white bowls bring a modern elegance to a special dinner party. We love these for side dishes including green salads, fruit salads and hot dishes.

Any event that starts with a table needs a nice tablecloth for a foundation of color and table protection. These heavy duty tableclothes are our go-to with their easy to clean, less wrinkle fabric and bright durable colors.
Artificial Roses
These beautiful artificial roses come in EVERY color making them perfect for many different themes. They are made of a thin foam so they look real but will last for years to come. They are about 3" wide, include greenery and have 8" long stems.
Chocolate & Cheese Fondue Pot
A fondue pot should heat evenly and be non-stick (nobody likes a burned glob of cheese on the bottom of the pot). This pot accomplishes both feats. The fondue bowl has a capacity of 2+ quarts which is perfect for a party. Helpful hint: keep chocolate at low tempurature.
Citrus Press Juicer
We love that the metal bowls on this manual juicer extract so much juice from lemons, limes and oranges while leaving the seeds behind.

In Sicily, Italy, we were delighted to find professional seamstresses who would carefully add our names to a well designed apron. This embroidered apron is great price and made in the USA.
Cast Iron Baking/Pizza Pan
This cast iron pan gives the brick oven taste to a gourmet pizza. Baked in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or even over a campfire, pizza comes out crispy, chewy and has an excellent flavor. Hint: place in middle of the oven for best baking results.

Paper Lanterns Red & White
Add a little color to your next picnic or party with these colorful paper lanterns. We love taking color to the sky and by adding a little LED light to these lanterns, the night will continue to sparkle.
