Paris Tableware offers a curated selection of exquisite pieces that delight even the most discerning recipient. Forget the last-minute shopping scramble – we've gathered 10 gift ideas to inspire you.

1. Crystal Ornaments

Crystal ornaments are heirloom gifts that catch the light beautifully and add a touch of timeless elegance to the tree. Here are three of our favorites:

Lalique Lierre Ornament: Lalique's Lierre crystal Christmas tree ornament features a delicate motif of intertwined ivy leaves, creating enchanting reflections that capture the spirit of the season. Handcrafted in France, it is a perfect gift under $200 for someone who loves exquisite crystal. The ornament was released in 2024 but is not dated, so it can be given year after year.

Lalique Merles et Raisins Ornament, Red: Lalique's iconic Merles & Raisins (birds and grapes) motif in deep red crystal – a luxurious touch for the holiday tree.

Jay Strongwater Santa's Arm Full of Gifts Ornament: A jeweled Christmas ornament from Jay Strongwater, hand-enameled and hand-set with crystals by skilled artisans. We recommend pairing it with the Jay Strongwater Large Ornament Stand so it can be displayed all season long.
