New This Week · Tuesday 9 a.m. ET
Fresh from the studio shelf.
Forty-two new pieces from nineteen makers landed in the catalog this week — the Tuesday drop, handpicked by our editors and shipped from our regional warehouses within 24 hours.
Maker No. 214 · Budapest, Hungary
Margit Halász has been throwing porcelain for forty-one winters.
In a courtyard studio behind the Castle District, Margit turns out roughly nine hundred hand-thrown pieces a year — each weighed, glazed, and fired twice in the small kiln her father built in 1971. We carry her winter whites collection exclusively in North America.

The Celebration Brief · Issue No. 47

The Quiet Table: why this year's host is dialing it back.

The Word On The Street
4.9 stars across 18,400+ verified reviews.
Ninety-four percent of our shoppers say they would recommend Things Festive to a friend. Here is what a few of them wrote this season.
★★★★★
The catalog made the whole season.
I planned an entire December of hosting from one Tuesday drop. The taper candles arrived in three days, the linen runner was exactly the color on screen, and the wreath maker emailed me a personal note.
★★★★★
Finally, a decor shop that takes craft seriously.
I bought a hand-thrown dinner set for my sister's wedding from three different makers through this site. Every piece arrived in its own box with the maker's story card. The detail work is extraordinary.
★★★★★
The 60-day return window is the real luxury.
I ordered three wreaths in November to "live with" before deciding. Returned one in February with no friction, kept the other two, and felt respected as a customer the entire time.
