When was the last time you set foot in Pier 1? For me, it’s been a while. On the prowl for a few rolls of inexpensive wrapping paper, I found stacks of these wonderful mini everything! Tiny wine and martini glasses, petite trifle bowls, mini cordials and teensy ramekins. The idea is to plan a tasting party of small plates, but I think they’re genius for portion control, too. (Like the rest of the world, I’ll be back to Weight Watchers on January 1). Some are sold individually, but the sets make a fun and unexpected gift (most are around $29). Check the website for the full range, party ideas and recipes. And pick up my new favorite cookbook, Bite by Bite, to go with.  www.pier1.com
