Adding sparkle to your holiday party table is as easy as adding metal, glass and even reflective fabric

How do you create a warm and memorable holiday party table? With an inviting table setting that includes some sparkle and shine! It doesn’t take long to add a little pizzazz. Keep it simple with a few light-reflecting pieces. Choose a few of these ideas, then mix and match with other textures, such as items from nature, and, of course, the aromas and tastes of lovingly prepared food.

Candlelight

Nothing beats the flicker of candlelight to create a warm glow. Gather a collection of candlesticks in the center of your table (ask your family and friends if you can borrow a few) and place matching white, scentless candles in them. Or use plain juice glasses to hold small votives.

Metal

Metal naturally reflects light. The simplest way to add metal accents is by using real utensils. Make sure they shine by giving them a quick swipe with a clean cloth and a dab of vinegar. Or, use a bowl made of silver, chrome or pewter as the base of your centerpiece.

Mirror

Mirrors work especially well when you have a beautiful chandelier above them. But they work beautifully with candles or metal too. Use a mirror like a tray and place candlesticks or metal centerpiece on it.

Fabric

Warm up a table with a tablecloth, runner or place mats that have metallic thread or a shiny jacquard pattern.

Napkins

Our foil-pressed napkins could beautifully complement your sparkling theme. Choose from a range of napkin and foil colors.

Yuletide Foil-Pressed Napkin

Delavan Monogram Napkin This foil-pressed napkin is a must for any party. Enjoy the rich texture and fine quality of the paper and monogramming.

Christmas Foil-Pressed Napkin Motifs include: candy canes, Christmas tree, stocking, ornaments, Santa’s hat and holiday wreath. High quality, three-ply construction.

Yuletide Foil-Pressed Napkin There are as many ways to customize this napkin as there are reasons to celebrate. Motifs include: snowman, Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer, ho-ho-ho and snowflakes.

The candles are lit. The turkey is in the oven. The guests will arrive any minute. Creating that warm, inviting feeling in your home takes effort.

At Thanksgiving, we celebrate the bounty and beauty of our lives. What’s more, we celebrate not only the bounty of our kitchens but also the deep, meaningful relationships with our family and friends.  Customize napkins with your family’s name, “Thanksgiving 2015” or a family motto or slogan, such as “Embraced in love” or “Gratitude is an attitude” or “Live, laugh, love.”

Here are some of our favorite Thanksgiving napkins, which you can personalize as you wish. We make them from the highest quality, three-ply paper. Finally, they come in a range of colors and inks to match any decor.

Find other people who love to write letters through letter writing blogs.

We love reading about writing! Do you? Two months ago we listed some of our favorite letter writing websites. Here are a few more; these are blogs that explore the not-so-lost art of letter-writing.

By writing letters, we connect with friends and family in ways that are sometimes difficult to do in person.

On the 20th anniversary of the popular Friends television series, and shortly after Ken Burns’ The Roosevelts: An Intimate History wrapped on PBS in Chicago, we’re thinking about how we connect to our friends and family, and how we sometimes do that through letter-writing.

Friends celebrated the close-knit relationships of young people living away from their families in New York City during the 90s.  Do you remember the episode in Season 4 when Rachel writes a letter to Ross; he needs to read it for them to reunite. But he falls asleep and then “fakes it” when Rachel wants to discuss it, with funny consequences.

The Power of the Pen

Teddy Roosevelt, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt depended on letter writing to formulate and share ideas, express their love and keep in touch, just as we still do today. The Roosevelts maintained long distance friendships through letter writing when they were called away from home by their duties as public leaders.

In the Roosevelt’s time, letter writing was more common and almost necessary. But today, as Friends demonstrates, we use letter-writing to convey our most intense thoughts with people important in our lives. Sometimes it’s easier to deliver our messages on paper, rather than verbally, especially, as in Rachel and Ross’ case, emotions are high.  Love letters. Condolence letters. Letters of apology. And even congratulatory letters. These are all cases when letters are beautifully appropriate and perfect.

The oversized dimensions of the Chesapeake Boulevard Card by Giftsin24 make this single panel card an especially unique gift.

After the logo was designed on paper, it was created as digital vector art.

You know how you feel when you get a new haircut or a new suit, or even when you paint your bedroom a new color? You have that exciting sense of feeling refreshed and pulled-together and that, finally, everyone is able to see the real you. That’s how we feel about our new logo for Giftsin24. Have you noticed it?

Ryan Monahan, Giftsin24 designer, and Richard Pauling, Giftsin24 president and owner, worked together to design the new logo. We talked to Ryan to get the inside scoop on what went into designing the new logo, its typography and what’s next.

G24: What was your main goal with the new design?
Ryan: We wanted to update our logo without straying too far from the original design. We knew we wanted to use a serif typeface (the kind with “hooks” at the ends of the letters) and we wanted it to reflect an older, Roman typeface. To me, this logo looks literary and traditional. It implies learning and education. You might see this kind of lettering on a bookstore window.

An early version of the logo shows Ryan’s thought process as he crafted the new lettering

G24: Tell us about how you designed the new logo?
Ryan: We made the lettering here in-house. We established the main concept relatively quickly. Then it took a little longer to decide on the silhouette and polish it. In total, I hand drew about 20 different concepts and variations on paper. Next, we converted it to vector art, so we could use it on the website. A vector image is made up of tiny points. Most logos are vector art, so that you can blow it up as large as a billboard or shrink it to the size of a business card, but it won’t lose quality. On the other hand, pixels make up a raster image (like a cell phone photograph), and that image loses quality quickly if you try to make it larger.

We G24: Anything special about its characteristics?
Ryan: I made it a point to include ligatures: those are typically two adjacent characters that are joined together. When you write the word little, you might use a ligature to connect the two t’s. Here, three letters join, the F, T and S, which is a bit unusual and unique. Another thing you might notice is that the lettering is fairly vertical. You can see this especially in the G. The letter G can be very round and bulbous. We made ours more condensed, more vertical. We also condensed the numerals 2 and 4 in this way. Finally, a dot above the letter i is called a tittle. We put it uncharacteristically low, very close to the top of the i. We like that style.

G24: What’s next?
Ryan: This new iteration retained the same brown and navy colors of our old logo, but we have been discussing changing the logo colors at some point, but I’ll let that be a surprise.
