Christmas

From our best Christmas cookies to festive Yuletide menus, we’ve got everything you need to plan perfect Christmas parties, dinner on Christmas Day and a special plate of cookies for Santa’s visit the night before.
We appreciate function, and the only thing better, is when function meets form. We also love our kitchens around here. In fact, we relish them, along with the kind folks who bring us our most beautiful kitchen pieces—and surest-to-please gift ideas—from plateware to décor. Here are 21 artists and retailers committed to making our kitchens beautiful. And beautifully functional. Amen to that. —By Alissa HarbClam Chowder by Will LerouxGive your sweetie something to satisfy his or her incorrigible sweet tooth this season. We are particular fans of Seattle Chocolates 5-bar gift box.

And the retro 1950s inspired packaging? Too adorable for words. Approx. Price: $20 Purchase: Holiday 5-Bar Gift BoxFinnish Gingerbread Men
