Arguably the best aspect of the festive season is the stream of Christmas parties that fill up your calendar. Whether you’re hosting friends, family or colleagues, a little holiday decoration goes a long way.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll find that setting the table with statement pieces is all part of the fun, and at the end of the day, makes the event even more memorable than the classic pavlova served for dessert. If festivities are likely to go on past mealtime, a couple of games to spike your guests’ competitive edge will be enjoyed by all.
Below, we’ve scrolled through Typo‘s online offerings to find the best pieces for your upcoming Christmas party.
Setting the table
Create a fantastical tablescape with these festive items

The Grinch Novelty Christmas Shakers

Okay, these may be very silly, but they bring so much joy. When your crazy uncle asks you to pass the salt at Christmas lunch, have a chuckle when you pass him a porcelain shaker in the shape of the Grinch’s head. Also available as Nightmare Before Christmas if that’s more your vibe.

Cocktail Shaker Set

For Christmas cookies, decor or even treats for Santa while he’s delivering presents, this platter is a perfect, affordable choice to add to the table.

Novelty Cocktail Glass Set Of 2
$39.99 from Typo
These cocktail glasses from Typo are just so delicious! Imagine a Christmas-themed cocktail on one of these, or sipping some champagne with the gals.

The entertainment

Oversized Table Card Games
$17.99 at Typo
If you have the type of friends who can ‘stir the pot’ then this game could be perfect for Christmas (maybe after everyone’s opened presents so there’s no hard feelings). With questions like ‘Who complains the most?’ and ‘Who has the craziest drunk-alter-ego?’, this game will be sure to cause a ruckus. Typo also offers a ‘Who is the biggest hot mess?‘ game but play with caution.

Centrepiece Shots Game
$49.99 from Typo
What could be a fun centrepiece for the table could become a thrilling game once all the dishes have been cleared away. Fill these cups with your favourite beverage and bring out your competitive edge with a Christmas-themed shots game.
