No matter the time of year or occasion, there’s nothing better than a good old-fashioned gathering. From fancy dinner parties to casual cocktail hours and upcoming holiday festivities with the family, any opportunity to get together with our loved ones is reason enough to clear our calendars and put our party dresses on!

As we approach the holiday "get together" season, you may begin to feel a bit predictable when it comes to bringing a gift for the hostess (those who bring a bottle of wine every time).  Nurture a relationship in a small but meaningful way with a loving touch that shows your gratitude, a special thank you for the invite. Your holiday hostess will appreciate you thinking of them. They are supplying the drinks and food, after all. At West End's white wine glass decanter with an ice pocket is just one example of the unique gifts that express your appreciation on any social occasion. Give one as a gift or keep it for yourself… Don't worry, we won’t tell. Our top AWE picks feature everything from cheeky accents and hand-blown glassware to stylish serving pieces and sophisticated home goods that won’t end up as clutter (or in the donation pile).

This one is for our predictable pals out there. Elevate your basic bottle of wine with a quirky, canvas wine bag. Arriving in a set of six, dress up your gifted bottle of wine to your hostess and keep the other five for yourself. Yes, they are that adorable.
