Are you stressing over the family coming to your house for the holidays and you don’t have the money or time to buy matching China & silverware let alone gravy boats? Well Hip Hostess is here to show you how to take the focus off of what you don’t have and spend a minimal amount of money to make an impression.

The solution is PopMat Placemats by Publique Living. You can bring the focal point to the center of the table with these cute placemats. Then it won’t matter if your plates and cutlery don’t match because you have one common theme on the table that will pull the odds and ends of your dinner collection together.

We at Hip Hostess like to try to keep the wow factor of the event a secret until the last minute. So, if possible, keep the masses away from the dining room until it is time to be seated. Not only will you get the first ooh’s and aah’s of the day but you will secure the topic of conversation for a brief period instead of the fact that you left out the pearl onions in Uncle Fred’s favorite peas and carrot dish. -b
