Christmas in July

You’ll think we’re crazy but listen up. While the summer sales are in full swing, it’s time to take inventory and stock up on items you’ll need for the Holidays. Save yourself from paying top dollar in the height of the season and avoid the last minute headache of the trip to the packed mall when you realize you only have eight napkins and you need twelve.
Some items to consider:

•    Serving dishes (Platters, trays, large bowls)
•    China
•    Crystal
•    Flatware
•    Wine Glasses
•    Cocktail Glasses
•    Knives (especially of the steak and carving variety)
•    Cookware
•    Table linens
•    Bed linens (for the overnight guests)
•    Guest towels
•    Hostess gifts

And then treat yourself to a little something fun (e.g., a new bag or bauble) for all of your efforts.
