A housewarming, dinner at friends', Christmas dinner with the in-laws: you want to bring something that is more than a bunch of flowers. The best gift for a host is something for the table, which they use again the next time they have guests. Below are three ideas, what to look for, and how it arrives on time without any wrapping.
What to look for
- Something to share. A cheese board or a set of cutlery comes to the table when there are guests, and then they think of you.
- A finish that fits anywhere. You don't always know their tableware. Black with steel suits every interior.
- Easy to look after. What can go in the dishwasher gets used more often.
For drinks: the cheese set
The Avanza Cheese Set is a complete set for cutting and serving cheese: eight stainless steel tools with a glossy black handle and a mirror-polished bolster, including a serving board. Dishwasher safe and delivered in a black gift box.
For a new home: the cutlery set
People who have just moved often still eat with odds and ends of cutlery. The Avanza Cutlery Set is a complete place setting for six: six table knives, six table forks, six dessert spoons and six teaspoons, with a glossy black handle and a mirror-polished bolster. Dishwasher safe, in a black gift box. If you are giving together with others, this is a gift that lasts for years.
For those who pour wine: the wine set
If you would otherwise bring a bottle, give what goes with it. The Avanza Wine Set has six pieces in one gift box, built around the heaviest corkscrew there is (216 grams), with two wine stoppers, a pourer, an aerator pourer and a chill stick. Add a bottle and the gift is complete.
