December Must Haves

CasaSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 03:38:55 -0800

December is Home Entertainment month here at CasaSugar. All throughout the month, we'll be bringing you the very best projects and products for entertaining yourself, your friends, your family at home.

To welcome guests aromatically into your home and spread the neighborly cheer, I suggest you start with an Organic Style Fragrant Evergreen Holiday Wreath ($55).
To set the mood, Something Wicked sustainable, toxin-free soy wax candles ($24) are a bright green idea.
The Vers 2X Wood iPod Speaker ($180) is the best-looking way to get your holiday playlists going, and it's hand-crafted from sustainable wood.
Of course, tunes are a necessity, but no celebration is complete without some festive holiday cards. The Egg Press Cheer Cloud Card ($17) is the most elegant (and succinct) choice around.
You've got to deck the house with the west elm Overlapping Squares Chair Ornament ($6), a mini version of their iconic chair which will charm you all year long.
Ensure that your holiday guests don't leave lingering stains on your Danish modern coffee table by asking them to use these Quagliata Designs Art Glass Coasters ($110) from Unica Home.
This cultural reality series PBS House DVD Combo ($150), which takes a fascinating look at the Frontier House, 1900 House, 1940s House, and Manor House, will be sure to keep you entertained at least through December 31.

If you love gardening but have a hard time splurging on flowers for yourself, then do I have a giveaway for you! Smith & Hawken's 12 Months of Flowering Plants ($459) will keep you happy year long. Kind of like your favorite shelter magazine, you'll be delighted each month when beautiful blooming plants arrive at your doorstep. Ranging from White Amaryllis in January, Gerbera Daisies in July, to Hydrangea in December, each plant is chosen for its "singular beauty and variety of form and color." If you're interested in winning 12 months of flowers, just take our quiz! To enter, you must log in and take the quiz below. Your eligibility is not based on getting the answers correct, just by completing the quiz once you are logged in. You do, however, need to be a TeamSugar member and log in before you take the quiz. If you're not already a member, just register here for an account. One quiz entry per person; all repeat quizzes will be ignored. Contest ends Tuesday, April 29, at noon (PDT), and is only open to US readers. Click here for Official Rules.
