Gifts for the Spirited Host
12.10.2018
Lifestyle influencer, YouTuber, and holiday super-enthusiast #Looksmith Parker York Smith (@parkeryorksmith) shares his specially selected ROW DTLA gifts for all of the wonderful entertainers in your life.
I’m just gonna come right out and say it… entertaining is an art form. It takes patience, attention to detail, and an understanding of the finer things in life. (Hopefully) we all have that special someone in our lives that throws the best parties, whether something small and intimate, or festive and elaborate. That’s why we put together a holiday gift guide for the entertainer in your life, no matter what they gravitate towards.
Most would agree, it’s not a party without booze, so take the weight off their shoulders and show up with a bottle of Yola 1971 Mezcal and some Scrappy’s bitters to mix up some delicious cocktails.
If you’re not into the hard stuff, you can’t go wrong with a good bottle of Deno 2011 Paso Rougeand a Red Wine Aerator to bring out the flavor.
If booze isn’t your thing (or even if it is), great parties have great food. Arguably the most quintessential party food is cheese. Why not gift the entertainer in your life a perfect way to serve the cheese on this Maple Cutting Board, designed to be used as a cutting board as well as a serving tray (yay for less dishes!).
Cutting the cheese has never been sexier with this Copper & Wood set of cheese tools. Also, it’s always fun to try new dips and spreads like this Wild Caper Tomato Tapenade with tomatoes sundried by an all-female owned cooperative.
It’s almost 2019, which means that more and more people are willing to be adventurous and try something new. Cannabis-infused cooking is now for anyone interested in making serious, sophisticated dishes – with weed. Inspired by the popular Viceland series MUNCHIES, Bong Appétit teaches more than just recipes – with lessons on dosage, pairings, and marijuana politics.
If you’re not quite ready to cook with cannabis, you can still make your other dishes taste great by smoking out of this beautiful Iridescent Opalite Pipe.
Let’s face it. Some people just seem to have it all, right? Friends like this call for some pretty unique gifts – a 12-Tone Glockenspiel, for instance. Whether they play it to entertain the guests or the guests enjoy it themselves, it’s pretty likely that not everyone has one.
Another excellent idea is to focus on being environmentally friendly and providing the host with some reusable copper straws. Not only are they fun to use, but also they majorly boost the IG-worthiness of those delicious cocktails being served.
Finally, if you’re looking for something small but impactful, a sampler of Dandelion Chocolate or a Hot Chocolate Mix is something the host can enjoy themselves or choose to share. It’s important to show your appreciation for always letting you party with them!
Entertainers of all shapes and sizes would be more than happy to receive any of these gifts, all of which are available at ROW DTLA. Put some thought into it. Figure out what you think they’d really enjoy and go find the best possible version. Not only will you make the host in your life extremely grateful, but they’ll probably serve you first from the bar or the kitchen!
