 The weather is warming up and it's time for spring entertaining. Whether you're planning an Easter or  Mother's Day brunch or just having friends over to enjoy the warmer weather, we have your spring entertaining guide ready.

Hostess Gifts for Easter and Spring Parties

Our custom gift baskets are the best Easter baskets or Mother's Day gifts. Just pick your size (small, medium, and large) and the curated gift basket that best fits the recipient. We'll fill it with beautiful finds and ship it right to you or your recipient. It makes the perfect hostess gift, Easter basket, or Mother's Day gift!  

Spring Table Inspiration for the Gardener 

For the gardener's spring table, it's all about bringing the outside in. Hand out seed packets as favors, and mint juleps make the best cocktails. 

Your early spring blooms like tulips and daffodils are perfect to brighten up the table. 

Want to elevate your cocktails, salad dressing, or dessert? Try our culinary lavender buds

Spring Table Inspiration for the Traditionalist


This look is all about the classics. White table linens, grandma's silver (or someone else's grandma's silver that you got at an estate sale for an amazing deal), piles of flowers in vintage vases and pewter ice buckets. 

We love our Arte Italica Bella Bianca line of dishes for their antique look with modern day durability - they're microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe.

Spring Table Inspiration for the Color Lover

We love a colorful spring table! Go durable with our melamine indoor/outdoor plates - they're great for kids while still looking stylish.

Indoor/outdoor pillows dress up your table. We also have these cozy new indoor/outdoor boucle throws for chilly spring nights!
