It’s dinner party season!

November 27, 2023

Is there anything more exciting than planning a dinner party at home with your nearest and dearest, Come Dine With Me style? Minus the excruciating scoring-in-secret part that is! If the Channel 4 reality series is your go-to guilty pleasure as well (couples edition, of course!), then you’ll be just as excited as I am that dinner party season has arrived once again.

I’ve been sitting on a few fabulous things I’ve been sent from various brands and PRs recently. I was trying to work out the best way to share these new pieces here on the blog and figured that a new occasional series might be in order, which I’m cleverly (read: not feeling so imaginative right now..) calling: Fab Finds.
