Red: The Color Of The Season!

Rudolph has a red nose, Santa has his red coat, our wreaths are dressed in red bows, and Boxwood is back with our customer’s favorite red gift – Vietri Vases!

It wasn’t too long ago when I was with a group of business owners and a conversation came up about products we each have in our stores that we couldn’t exist without. Hands down, I knew exactly the product line in Boxwood, Vietri! I couldn’t be more proud to carry it. Top quality and inspired and handcrafted by artisans in Tuscany, Italy. I fell in love with Vietri when I was first introduced, and I love how our customers have fallen in love with them, too. Vietri is one of those vendors we are always so excited to receive in our shipments and this year is no different. As you prepare for the holidays and shop for that special gift for your someone special, let me introduce you to a few favorite Vietri items we have here in Boxwood!

We love the look of the Hibiscus Red Vase for any holiday, perfectly fitting the Christmas season and also usable for Valentines Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, or any occasion that needs a pop of color in a tablescape. This Christmas, use Vietri’s Hibiscus Glass Red Vases on a holiday table to make a striking statement. Fill it with some winter greens, berries, and holly for a beautiful winter mix of red and green! This breathtaking vase comes with a Vietri gift box so it makes for a beautiful gift to give a mother, grandmother, sister, friend, or hostess.

Along with our love for the vases, a new store favorite is also the Vietri melamine dishware. Every holiday, customers have been asking, “When are you going to carry the Lastra melamine dishware?” and I couldn’t be more excited to share that this holiday season we finally did it! We now have the gorgeous line of Vietri’s Lastra Melamine Dishware as part of our holiday collection. They are so festive on a holiday table, and are strong and practical for everyday use. They are sure to become a family heirloom.

Did you know that when you see a red bird, a loved one is near? This little memento is what we love so much about the Ti Penso plate, meaning "Thinking of You." The symbolic Old St. Nick Ti Penso Plate is a gentle reminder that our loved ones are watching over us. Perfect for last-minute gifting, the Ti Penso Plate comes packaged in a beautiful Vietri gift box, ready for gifting!

With our shop decorated in reds and greens, we hope you’ll find something in store that will make you think of those you love. Everyone here at Boxwood wishes you a warm and special Christmas and a bright new year!
