Dinner plates are an easy way to add pops of life and color to a Friendsgiving tablescape. In the dark ages before Al Gore invented the internet, when we had to buy dinner plates we were pretty much at the mercy of whatever drab selection the local department or home goods store had in stock.
Now with the advent of aforementioned internet we have so many things; youtube comments, international hacking schemes, cyber-bullying and bloviated politicians disappointing us faster and more frequently than ever. We’ve also got endless and unfettered access to a seemingly unending universe of dinnerware in every shape, styles, colors and material.
It’s quite an exciting time to be alive and because you’re a host oozing with panache and personality your party plates should be a reflection of that very joie de vivre. You’ve only got a few shopping days left but we’ve given you a head start by collecting some favorites in a range of styles. And if you’re not hosting this year, they make the perfect gift for the host or hostess.
