Blue & White Chinoiserie Mahjong

Luna Playing Mat

 

Whether for yourself or perhaps a great Mother's Day gift, I have found some Mahjong accessories I have to share. 

Introducing the Luna Mat — a serene yet statement-making addition to your Mahjong setup.

Chinoiserie Chic Mahjong

Southern Living Mahjong Green Ikat Tile Box Travel Set

 

Dillard's always wonderful Southern Living Collection has some of the prettiest mahjong sets with Chinoiserie Chic style. It's impossible to pick a favorite. And these would make great Mother's Day gifts.

For the Pickler

Pickleball Court Chip and Dip Platter

Pickleball is incredibly popular everywhere. We have pickleball courts and a very active pickleball group here where I live. I have found some darling pickleball themed home decor items perfect for the pickleball lover.

Valentine's Day Candle

Red Roses Candle

 

I got this candle last year around Valentine's Day and absolutely loved it. It smells like a bouquet of roses and has wonderful throw. Actually, most roses from the grocery store or florist today have little to no scent. Over the last twenty five years, appearance and durability have been prized over scent. So this candle smells like the exquisitely scented roses of your childhood.

 I am thrilled that it is back and I will stock up again. It reminds me so much of Diptyque's Roses candle that sells for $74 for a 6.7 ounce candle.

Luxe Candles

NEST Indian Jasmine

If you are looking for a candle for a very lovely gift for yourself or for someone special in your life for a hostess gift, birthday, Valentine's Day, or Mother's Day, I have two very elegant choices.

Immerse yourself in the lush jasmine fields of India with NEST''s new Home Fragrance Collection featuring an intense jasmine absolute surrounded by bright red berries, sparkling bergamot, and spicy pink pepper.
 

Chic Wine Gifting

Frances Valentine Wine Bags

 

Wine is one of my great passions. I am very active in a couple of wine groups here and am taking over heading up a gourmet wine and food pairing group starting June 1st. I also love bringing a bottle of wine as a hostess gift and love chic wine bags - they make a gift of wine look so special and intentional.

Chinoiserie Chic Finds

Chinoiserie Champagne Bucket/Cooler

 

I have found some really chic chinoiserie pieces for your home at great prices. These are all perfect for a little spring/summer refresh for your home.

Chic Olive Oil

Frantoio Muraglia Extra Virgin Olive Oil in Striped Bottle

 

I think this is the prettiest bottle of olive oil ever. The ultimate kitchen-to-table olive oil, this award-winning Italian oil works equally well for cooking and finishing. To preserve its rich flavor and aroma and protect it from sunlight, the extra-virgin olive oil is bottled in a hand-painted ceramic container that can be enjoyed as a vase or serving vessel after the oil is finished. 

Perfect Mother's Day Gift for the Chinoiserie Lover

Jasmine and Yuzu Porcelain Diffuser

I have found a delightful gift for Mother's Day. Refresh any room with the sophisticated floral and citrus notes of jasmine and yuzu. Simply place the porous porcelain floral sprigs in the bottle of oil to disperse the light, delicate fragrance. Both the visual and the scent are very Chinoiserie Chic. 

Valentine's Day Gifts for You

Veuve Clicquot

My picks for chic Valentine's Day gifts for buying yourself a little treat or for hints for your significant other.

Elephant Stampede

I have the feeling that we will be the ones stampeding over to Elizabeth McKay today for these incredibly cute patent leather elephant key chains. These are a must for the lover of Chinoiserie Chic, Palm Beach Chic, and Prepster Style. They would make a perfect stocking stuffer, baby shower gift, bridesmaid gift, or stock up now for Christmas gifts for all those tough to shop for people on your list. What color is your favorite? I love the pink, of course. As with all of of their Elephant Products, 20% of the purchase price will be donated to African Parks in hopes of curbing the Ivory trade and preserving wildlife in Africa. A worthy cause.

New Series and I'm a Giant Challenge

The day after Thanksgiving, we will turn from Setting the Chinoiserie Table to some new seasonal topics. We will have tons of ideas for decorating your home for the holidays with Chinoiserie Chic style, my top gifts for the Chinoiserie lover, and pictures of my own Chinoiserie home decorated for the holidays. I am also down to the last few touches on my Chinoiserie Chic dollhouse and I plan to do a big reveal in December of all my miniature Chinoiserie rooms. I think you will love it. Stay tuned for a great month here starting Friday.

The Pink Pagoda - Chinoiserie Gifts for the Holidays

I am so excited that Thanksgiving is around the corner because that means that Chinoiserie Chic can start looking at decorating the home for the holidays with Chinoiserie touches and also my top Chinoiserie gift picks. I couldn't wait to share these two Chinoiserie gift ideas from The Pink Pagoda. The green ginger jar with pink bow comes as a set of eight notecards with envelopes in bright pink. What a perfect gift for the preppy Palm Beach Chinoiserie lover. The pink and red elephants are right up my alley - I love the pink border - they too come as a set of eight foldover notecards with envelopes. The perfect Chinoiserie stocking stuffers. They would be also be amazing to send as Christmas cards.

More Chinoiserie Christmas Gifts

I'm excited to introduce you to a fabulous new Etsy shop called LetterLove Designs where you will find personalized stationery and gifts. Her personalized notepads, calling cards, and wine tags are perfect gifts for the Chinoiserie lover on your list. I am in love with LetterLove!
