How to Do All Your Holiday Shopping at Target

More unexpected and lower commitment than a tablecloth, this table runner from boho queen Justina Blakeney’s ongoing Jungalow collab is perfect for the friend who has filled their apartment with plants and enjoys a good tablescape.

Your sibling, friend, neighbor, coworker, or partner got really into bread baking back in quarantine. They’re still doing it. The question is, do they have a soft butter at the ready to spread over those perfectly crisp loaves? They should, and they will if you get them a butter dish.

For your friend who is hosting a potluck, or really for anyone you want to bake for, bring your creation ready to serve on this lovely cake stand — and then let them keep it. Its simple, clear glass design should match any kitchen’s style.
