AT HOME
GOOD-LOOKING GAMES TO GET AND GIVE THIS SEASON
DICE // PLAYING CARDS // TUMBLING TOWER // CANDYLAND // MAHJONG
One of my favorite ways to spend a night in with family and friends is by playing games. Whether it’s Gin Rummy, an old-school board game (with a chic update!), or team-based trivia, it’s always a good time. (Hot tip: if you’re hosting a group, a great game is kind of a sure thing when it comes to keeping everyone entertained – especially if cocktails are involved).
If you’re going to make the effort, why not go the extra mile and level up with a game that’s as nice to look at as it is to play? From stylish dominoes and coffee-table-worthy puzzles to beautiful backgammon and more, games have never looked so good. Note: not only are these a go-to for entertainment this holiday season, but they also make great gifts (how cute is this?), too! After all, what game-loving hostess wouldn’t love a set of dice á la Gucci?
