We’re entering our second month of quarantine and with no shortage of meal ideas in sight, perhaps you’d like to zjush up your food prep and tabletop situation? Whether you’re a newly avid baker or trying your hand at the quarantini, here are eight stylish homeware products for making these activities a pleasure, not a chore.

Tea towel, $25, Marimekko Vancouver

Ok, so cleaning up is probably the least of our favourite at-home activities right now. But what if you were drying dishes or wiping down counter tops with a towel boasting one of Marimekko’s new seasonal prints? This rosy pattern brings a bit of the outdoors inside and will surely put a smile on your face.

Cocktail shaker, $71, Kate Spade

Trying out a quarantini recipe? Or maybe you’re sticking to a steadfast favourite bevvy? Whatever you’re imbibing, add to the fun of your pre-Zoom cocktail hour preparation with this elegant shaker.

Set of 2 dessert plates, $128, La Double J

Your next serving of sourdough bread or lemon loaf will look extra delicious resting atop these graphic plates. La Double J is known for collaborating with Italian artisans, and these gold-trimmed beauties have been crafted in partnership with Bitossi Home.

Apron, $59, Therma Kōta

Named after the Icelandic word for “chef”, the Kokkur apron is made from a luxe metallic jacquard fabric that’s water-repellent and machine washable. A portion of proceeds from each apron’s sale will go to the Canadian Native Centre’s initiative to provide meals to homeless and at-risk Indigenous communities during the COVID-19 crisis.

Cup and saucer set, $340, Gucci

This dreamy duo featuring the brand’s whimsical Herbarium motif—inspired by a vintage Toile de Jouy fabric—will make your coffee breaks feel downright transportive.

Pitcher, $110, Tory Burch

Inspired by the 19th century English stoneware that Burch and her mother have a habit of collecting, this pleasing pitcher can do double duty as a piece of servingware and also a vessel for your upcoming local flower delivery.
