• Tealight Holders

  

  These tealight holders make a lovely modern centerpiece. Pop in a few candles, light them up, and you’re ready for a dinner party. The holders have a clear lacquer coating over silver leaf, and come in two sizes (two candle or three).

• Ona Pitcher

  

  This sleek, modernist pitcher by Crate and Barrel looks a lot more expensive than it is. It works great as a water pitcher or wine decanter, but it’s a pain to get orange juice pulp out of the handle. Still, it’s such a great piece that it’s worth an extra scrub. If you give it as a gift, tie a bottlebrush into the bow and you’re all set.
