My Top Ten Entertaining Picks From the Nordstrom Sale

You’ve probably already bookmarked the Tory Burch flats that are almost $100 off, a few camel coats, and boots from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, which opens to the public (aka non-Nordstrom cardholders) today, but there are several tabletop items that are also just waiting to be scooped up. I’m sharing my top ten here!

  1. This set of 3 twig cheese knives – the perfect accent for a cheeseboard – and under $20.
  2. Le Creuset au gratin dishes are staples in our home. They’re perfect for baking savory and sweet. They’re also a great way to divvy out servings, whether you’re cooking for one or for four. This is a terrific price for two in a great basic white (also good wedding and shower gifts).
  3. I’m seeing enameled serving platters and plates everywhere recently. This blue-and-white splatterware platter (also in oval here) is one of my favorites. The coordinating red serving bowl and fish enameled tray are also fabulous buys.
  4. I love the way a wooden salad bowl brings both texture and warmth to a tabletop. It lends a certain coziness and a homey feel. This one is a great buy at under $30. I also love this wood tray, which is wonderful for serving appetizers on crackers or toasted baguettes. This set of wooden nesting pedestals is a great way to add much-needed height and interest to buffets.
  5. These wood marble coasters add a casual coolness to any coffee table or outdoor bar (under $20). They also make a great little hostess gift paired with a bouquet of peonies or a bottle of rose.
  6. Sales like this one are good opportunities to stock up on the basics, like the au gratin dishes I mentioned earlier. These champagne flutes are another good example. I love their shape.
  7. If you lean more towards a modern, all-white look, this espresso fruit tree by Nambe is something fun and different. Hang fruit, like bananas, from the alloy prongs and nestle apples, peaches, or pears in the bowl.
  8. A monogrammed carafe with a drinking glass is a chic little something extra for your guest room nightstand (available in this shape, too).
  9. I also love the shape of this glass ice bucket – a good entertaining staple at just over $15.
  10. Use these clear glass oil bottles to house and serve aged balsamic or your everyday olive oil. The wooden stand makes for a classic presentation.

Happy shopping!
