Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
Party platters, plates and dipping bowls modeled after the classic look of a monopoly board.
Why we love it:
When we think of fancy cocktail parties and witty, urbane conversations our mind turns immediately to... Monopoly? Well, ok, maybe not, but these Monopoly party dishes certainly are a lot of fun. As any party host can tell you (and perhaps you're in the market for a gift for one), small, novel touches help to make an event memorable. Setting the scene with a Monopoly board covered in cruditès and with dipping sauces in Boardwalk and Marvin Gardens would certainly be a memorable theme for a party. A theme of fun, games, and real estate can make any event seem special, or at least, a little strange and whimsical. Bring a unique flavor to a host's next event, just remember to lay your claim to the top hat early, or you'll be stuck with the race car again.
Who we'd give it to:
Monopoly fans, party hosts, real estate agents.
