I love when you can recycle and reuse things around the house. Like how about recycling paint chips with these cool DIY craft projects? So clever and fun!

Wouldn’t these new wine pairing-themed appetizer plates from Williams-Sonoma be a perfect gift for the oenophile in your life? Buy a set for yourself while you are at it and use them at your next wine tasting or wine and cheese party. (For a wine tasting party idea, check out this post.)
Cheers!
No doubt future posts will discuss trends and tips for wine tasting parties; they are one of my favorite parties to throw. Until then, however, I wanted to share one fun way to put a new twist on a traditional tasting party.
Smartsco’s Wine Smarts Game is sure to add levity and a spirit of friendly competition — not to mention an opportunity to hone one’s wine knowledge — to your next tasting party.
Consider playing even an abbreviated version of the game to kick off of cap off the evening’s festivities. A great bottle of wine or fun wine gadget (like the corkscrew below) would make a great gift for the winner(s).
