She's the queen of the kitchen, can whip up a double chocolate souffle while sleeping, and has dined at Momofuko Ko, David Chang's notoriously difficult-to-get-into restaurant, twice. Think there's nothing to get this kitchen diva — the girl whose been there, done that, got the t-shirt? Think again!

Flea markets and thrift stores can be a treasure trove of mismatched china, which could lead to trouble depending on your level of impulse control. One too many "Oh, this little dish is too cute to pass up!" and next thing you know, you've got boxes of quirky plates without coordinating mates.

I found these beautiful Laurence Brabant handblown Pyrex Expansif Mugs ($34) at a local boutique. They seem so elegant, yet whimsical, and I love the way the handle is part of the vessel too. What do you think?

When I was a kid, my mom had the most beautiful set of butterfly coasters. They were bamboo edges with clear glass on top of lace with a butterfly right in the center. They were too pretty to use and she had them as decoration, but I would play with them often.

During this time of year, mugs are a valuable kitchen commodity. While they hold your everyday coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, I also like to use mugs to serve soups and stews. Looks like you also know the importance of a marvelous mug because the Yum Market on TeamSugar is full of them! 
Finding the perfect gift for a co-worker can sometimes be a tricky task. You hang out with them for more hours than you do your own family, but for the most part it's still an office relationship. Selecting a gift for the ones you know well will be easy, but the ones you're not as familiar with might be a bit more difficult. 
I saw these cute Tree and Star Mugs ($40 each) on Tastespotting and love the way their shape shows up only once you've added liquid in to it. What do you guys think? Would you celebrate the holidays with them?
Whether it's an aunt or an uncle, seems like everyone has a coffee addict on their holiday shopping list. My coffee addict doesn't actually need any other gadgets — although the Bravi Home Coffee Bean Roaster would probably be well received — so I'm opting for a monthly coffee subscription from Blue Bottle Coffee Co. If your coffee addict has enough java to last a lifetime, treat him or her to a book like I Love Coffee! that will help hone their barista skills. Scroll through for more coffee gift ideas.
I was looking for great gift ideas when I came across this cute as a button mug by Gazin Create. The white Tea Code Mugs ($20) come in four different models and have two layers to dissipate heat well. All of that is fantastic, but my favorite part is the silicone button on the outside.
