I'm loving the new Arroyo collection by Amenity Home. The candle blocks, serving trays, napkin rings, and cute and modern salt and pepper shakers are crafted by hand from FSC-certified walnut, and all make fantastic feel-good-about-your-purchases-this-year gifts. The raw beauty of the exposed wood grain celebrates nature at its finest. These candle blocks start at $19 each (Amenity also offers soy pillar candles starting at $12), and I adore the collection of them that create the Amenity Modern Menorah ($314; candles included). These are timeless accessories that can shine all year long.
