Entertaining Made Easy
To make your holiday cooking and entertaining feel effortless, I’m also sharing a few of my current kitchen favourites that I actually use, and some of these you may have seen in some of my videos — to add a little ceremony to every meal:
- Tagine – Non-Stick Ceramic Round Cookware — Perfect for slow-simmered chicken tagines or festive stews.
- Globe Cocktail Shaker — Elevate your holiday cocktails with a touch of elegance and fun. This is a beautiful shaker that I use quite a lot.
- 15-Piece Heavy Duty Nonstick Cookware Set — Reliable, beautiful, and perfect for all your seasonal cooking projects.
- Viski Cocktail Smoke Dome Kit — Add aromatic flair to cocktails (or even desserts) for a magical holiday presentation. If you love making cocktails with a dramatic touch, you’ll love this! I’ve also used it to lightly smoke cheese on our charcuterie board. It’s brilliant!
As you know, gift giving and donating are always on my mind, since we support numerous charities, and even more so during this time of year. Even small gifts are wonderful, so peek through these items and the guide, you’ll find something for everyone.
During this time of the season, we have more birthdays, anniversaries, and festive celebrations to think about with extended family. For those hard-to-buy-for people in your life, don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. Take a gander below, and also view a special downloadable surprise at the end.

I love how these selections are practical as they are pretty. You have such great taste. With everything going on in the country, I’m finding it hard to be excited about the holidays this year and I’m about mindful consumption more than ever so my gift giving will be different this year as I want to make it more about things that are useful they are meaningful. I can’t believe it’s December already. Hope this season is treating you well Madison.
Thanks very much, Rowena! Yes, these are all very practical ideas. I always think gifts that are intentional, solve an actual need, and meaningful gifts can be another way of giving, especially for children and adults in need. It’s totally understandable and good that you are being more mindful this season. I know it’s quite hard to not allow what’s going on globally to affect us in some way. I find joy and peace by gathering with my family and loved ones. With losing so many dear to me in recent years, that’s what really matters most and it gives me a little glimmer of excitement that I can see them another holiday season! I wish you a very safe and peaceful Advent season, dear. I always appreciate your comments. <3
Adding so many to my list. Thank you.

I know, each year I feel it comes so much faster, lol. The tagine is really a great investment, you can cook so many things in it.
That smoke dome kit sounds like something unique, especially for someone that loves cocktails!

Yes, actually I probably use it more for our charcuterie board than actual cocktails. But it works well both ways, espeically mocktails too.
Fantastic ideas! That globe cocktail shaker is so unique and pretty!
Thanks, Laura. Happy Holidays!
