Our favourite time of the year is here – Christmas – and that means preparing to host the annual festive lunch. We’ve put together a list of some of our must-have items to have the table looking at its best after a challenging 2020.

FOR APERITIF TIME: LUIGI BORMIOLI’S G&T GLASSES

The Luigi Bormioli ‘Mixology Spanish Gin & Tonic’ glasses feature a uniquely textured design and is part of the new Mixology collection, which introduces luxury barware items carefully crafted to optimise mixed drink preparation and presentation. Mixology was developed by Luigi Bormioli in conjunction with Yuri Glemini, Futuristic Mixologist at Surfers Den in Milan.

FOR CARVING UP: WILTSHIRE’S STAYSHARP KNIVES

Wiltshire, a trusted Australian homewares brand since 1938, recently launched its redesigned STAYSHARP range. A staple in Australian kitchens, the latest STAYSHARP range features the brand’s iconic self-sharpening knives and scissors in an improved streamlined design. This makes them easier to store, safer to use and always sharp, while still delivering a true value for money experience that Australians have trusted in their kitchens for over half a century.

FOR DRINKS DURING LUNCH: ATELIER STEMLESS GLASSES

When it comes to serving-up the red during Christmas lunch, you’ll need a set of six Luigi Bormioli Atelier Stemless Cabernet Merlot Wine Glasses. These 650ml contemporary designed stemless glasses contain a curving point to indicate the correct pouring level. The Atelier range boasts superior aroma diffusion across stylish stemless glasses, for a contemporary take on wine-tasting that delivers the optimum palette balance required to enjoy your wine fully.

FOR THE CHEESE COURSE: STANLEY ROGERS WOODEN SERVING PLATTER

The Stanley Rogers Wooden Serving Platters always make a statement of style and our choice of the range is the rectangular large platter. Their designers have captured Scandinavian simplicity and elegance in these modern, distinctive irregular serving platters, which will be a stand-out at your Christmas lunch. Pair it up with the three-piece Stanley Rogers Pistol Grip Acacia Cheese Knives set, ideal for soft, hard and creamy cheeses and pâté.
