For those with a bulging bottom drawer, the growing tablescaping trend has been a chance to show off linen cloths, heirloom napkins and china inherited from Granny. The trend gained momentum during lockdown when making mealtimes feel special felt like an act of self-love. With more time to spend finessing the details, our quest for pretty candlesticks, ceramics and charger plates has intensified. At Christmas, of course, the table is more important than ever: uniting families, displaying feasts and impressing with its theme. As traditionalists, we believe the classic colour combination of silver, gold and a touch of green always looks fresh. These gift ideas are for amateur and professional hostesses alike.
