Gifts to give your guests

1. Not all chocolate is created equal. Splurge on one beautifully wrapped, top-of-the-line truffle and your guests will taste the difference.

2. Have fun matching mini perfume bottles from a coffret set to your friends' personalities. Gwen Stefani's Harijuku Lovers solid perfume compacts have five different personas, or opt for classic scents like CK One and Euphoria.

3. Souvenir ornaments remind friends of a wonderful meal and can be used to decorate their tree. Mercury glass votives inscribed with (washable) ink can serve as commemorative place holders.
