Party favors 
'Tis the season to bestow small tokens 
of appreciation upon those who are so kind as to invite us to their fabulous holiday shindigs. Sure, a bottle of wine will always help medicate the effort and stress (not to mention the expense) of throwing a holiday party, but host/hostess gifts like these will make it clear you're the kind of guest who puts a bit more thought into saying, "Thank you for having me." With any luck, you'll be invited back.

From sky to chambray, metallic to navy, the rich and calming shades are proving somehow both trendy and timeless for wardrobe and home decor. And the best part? The naturally harmonizing hues are easy to mix and match.
