Have you seen these adorable serving trays?  They come in different shapes:  a Christmas tree, an acorn, or a simple wood and marble tray?  These would make the best gifts for the hostess or people who love to entertain.  Or even for yourself because it is at such a great price point.  They come in so handy.  We catch ourselves using this little one in the shape of a Christmas tree every single day right now.  Because it is out within our decor.  And, if you follow us over on social media, you know that’s a tip I share regularly.  

Use your every day items within your decor!

Not only do they serve double duty, but you will use them so much more.  Because they are in front of your eyes every day.  

Different ways to use these cute serving trays:

• Hang it on a peg in the kitchen to give you a quick festive look without any effort.
• Set it up on a shelf behind other holiday decor.
• Display it on top of a stack of platters or other cutting boards.
• Of course, use it for snacks:  cheese, hors d’oeuvres, crackers, etc.
• Keep it by your stove all season and use it as a spoon rest
• Add it to your coffee table or side table decor to use as a large coaster.
• Give one to your favorite cook or hostess for the holidays.

Speaking of hostess gifts, keep scrolling for the best gifts for the hostess or people who love to entertain.  I rounded up several fun items for your convenience.
