Gift Guide: For an Ina
Our first gift guide of the year is dedicated to the domestic gods and goddessses in our lives - the people who make cooking a four-course French meal, setting a beautiful tablescape, growing their own vegetables and making the perfect cocktail look effortless. Ina Garten is our go to for perfect party meals, garden inspiration and the dream of one day living on a beautiful country estate where friends pop by for a drink and leave with a bouquet of tulips from the yard and a bag of recently picked tomatoes.

We’ve talked about the colored glassware from Estelle before, but it’s so beautiful and adds a pretty pop of color to a tablescape. I love that you can buy a mix of colors, or a single color, and that they have so many different types of glasses.
If you look at Ina’s Instagram, there are almost as many photos of flowers as there of food! You can order monthly arrangements from Urban Stems as the perfect gift to keep a summer in the Hampton’s vibe going all winter.
These batter bowls are perfect for the Sunday pancake cook in your family, and look cute on the countertop or behind a glass door inbetween uses.
A butter ornament is such a cute little gift for the baker in your life.
With the rise of the charcuterie board, pretty cheese knives are essential.
Cloth napkins make any dinner feel more special, and this blue and white print is so versatile!
Our love for Sift is not a secret, and their new cookbook is the perfect gift for a serious baker who wants to take their game to the next level.
When you host a lot, you can never have too many small bowls! Whether you use them to serve ice cream, put candy in them for a table scape, or add to a charcuterie board with an attractive dip or selection of nuts.
Gardening shears perfect for trimming those Hampton’s hedges or in your own garden.
For a cook who is just starting out, or always trying new recipes, this cutting board is such a smart idea! It has measurements marked out, a handy conversion chart and helpful substitutions listed. If you know someone working on their knife skills, or a child/teen learning the ropes, this would be a fun addition.
Giant wooden salad bowls are a staple of any party house! This one comes in three colors and looks like it could feed our giant family over the holidays.
We know Ina loves a good martini-who doesn’t? With these fun insulated glasses, you can take the fun to the fire pit, beach, boat, or just to the back porch.
For an Ina-worthy garden, this kit contains 100 bulbs that are a mix of perennial tulips, hyacinths and daffodils that will make your garden pop year after year.
White serving platters are a safe bet-they let the food pop and go with a variety of other styles. This melamine pair has a nice detail around the edge to make them a little more interesting.
For the true Hampton’s lover (or someone who just loves a gorgeous coffee table book).
