• “Lawton” Monogrammed Sheets

  

  Four-hundred thread count, monogrammed sheets from Ralph Lauren. Price is for a queen flat sheet with monogram, but I’d go with a set in white that includes the fitted sheet and two monogrammed pillowcases as well.

  Also, a butler bell for the bedside table.

• Quote/Unquote Bookends

  

  These would be cheesy, but they’re so well designed that it takes a minute to get the wink. That pause makes these clever instead of irritating. And that’s a fine line.

• Perfect Ice Cube Tray

  

  PERFECT GIFTS FOR ENTERTAINERS

  When we finally got an ice maker in our freezer, I thought our days of filling ice cube trays would be over.

  Then my husband found these silicone trays that make the most perfect ice cubes in all the land. They pop out of the tray in perfect squares, take a long time to melt in your cocktail or soda, and look cool in your glass.

  Back to arguing about who forgot to refill the trays.
