Red gingham paper placemats, the pattern that does picnic in July and Christmas morning in December without changing a thing. The check is painted rather than printed flat, so it has some warmth to it, and red gingham sits as easily under a stack of pancakes as it does under a holiday roast.
A pad of 25 tear-off sheets, each 18 by 12 inches, disposable so the table resets between courses and the day ends without a load of laundry.
Perfect for: Christmas morning breakfast, 4th of July cookouts, summer picnics, cowboy birthday parties, farmhouse tablescapes, and casual family dinners.
Red gingham is one of the few patterns that carries a table on its own, so keep the rest simple. White plates, a kraft runner, and a jar of whatever is blooming. Shop more Christmas party supplies, or browse the full gingham range.
