Here’s a great gift for the graduate  -- something that every young man needs (but doesn’t know it yet!)!  Choose a small tray or bowl from our CROC COLLECTION that is just the right size for keys, change, smartphone and all those miscellaneouspieces that seem to emerge from his pockets.  He’ll love it and you will be so pleased with your thoughtful gift – he’ll be sure to remember who the very thoughtful giver was! 

Today we move our attention to Dad and Father’s Day. What gift will Dad really like and really use? Here’s a great suggestion from Beatriz Ball – our Croc Rectangular Tray for all of his incidentals – keys, the amazing cigar he is waiting to smoke for just that special moment, the change emptied from his pockets, and all those other incidentals that need a home. Plus, he might even let Mom borrow it for a serving tray. Great size, too @ 14&

We love our heart shaped plate, the newest addition to our Soho Collection, and we think it's just the perfect gift from the bride to her bridesmaids.  Of course, the bride needs one, too, for those new rings she'll be sharing with anyone who spots them!  A great spot to drop their rings and earrings for safekeeping.  And, we know a gift from the heart always says, "I love you".

Save that all important date to honor Mother on her day -- May 11.  And what would the Mom who loves to entertain her family and friends enjoy this year?  A gift from the Beatriz Ball metalware collection.  Lots to choose from - including frames for her favorite photo, pitchers, a wood and metal cheesboard for cheeses, canapes and all good things.  Check out our best sellers for Mom -- she'll love your choice!
