Essentials of a gracious host

Creating a warm and inviting holiday atmosphere starts with preparing your home. What better way to welcome guests than with a stylish and equipped abode? After all, as Homer, ancient Greek poet and author of Iliad, once said, guests never forget the host who has treated him kindly.

We all want memorable meals so paper plates, plastic spoons and forks don’t just cut it. Elevate your dining experience with Corelle, an ideal lightweight dinnerware that resists chipping, breaking, and scratching from daily use. Corelle sets combine modern style with practicality and can match the mood of any occasion.

Meanwhile, the Eurochef Gold Flatware Set is made from high-quality steel mirror polish and is rust-resistant. It is also safe to use in the dishwasher.

You may want to equip your home with proper tools to get meals ready day-in and day-out.

Prepare delicious meals for the whole family in a fraction of the time with the Tefal Home Chef Smart Pro Multicooker. It has 19 pre-set programs and three special functions including adjustable time, pressure, and temperature.

The Tefal Easy Fry Deluxe Digital Air Fryer prepares up to six portions of delicious food, perfect for friends and family. Not only does it fry but also grills, roasts, and bakes. Cook healthier, crispier versions of your favorite foods in less time with GE Microwave Oven 28L’s built-in air fryer.

Breville Juice Fountain Plus, a simple no-nonsense juicer, is the perfect way to get yourself and your guests into the world of juice. Its titanium-reinforced disc and Italian-made micro mesh filter basket are made of stainless steel and designed for optimum juice and nutrient extraction.

The De’Longhi Dedica Pump Espresso Machine, on the other hand, offers a traditional authentic Italian espresso and cappuccino experience. Its ultra-compact, slim 6-inch design is perfect for small counter spaces.
