YumSugar Gift Guide: The Kitchen Diva
She's the queen of the kitchen, can whip up a double chocolate souffle while sleeping, and has dined at Momofuko Ko, David Chang's notoriously difficult-to-get-into restaurant, twice. Think there's nothing to get this kitchen diva — the girl whose been there, done that, got the t-shirt? Think again!
YumSugar Gift Guide: Bring a Little Dinner Party Cheer
If you're the eater in a dinner-party relationship — the person who comes over to chow down — then you may want to thank your entertainer by adding them to your holiday list. You could opt for a nice bottle of wine, but since that is so obvious, why not get them something a little more unique? There are quite a few things for the dinner party enthusiast, you can surprise them with this clever baguette tray and knife ($38) — it is a bit specialized, but is still a load of fun — or splurge and get them a new set of placemats.

Happy Hour: Pommery POP America
With its delightful dryness and light, fizzy body, it's easy to pledge your allegiance to Pommery POP Champagne ($11.99).
A stylish wine with a pale yellow color, POP has a floral nose, creamy mouth feel, and subtle citrus flavor. I like POP for its smooth drinkability; it's refreshing and tastes great on its own.
Come Party With Me: Oscars Viewing — The Look
Last year's Oscars was all about golden opulence and red accents, but this weekend the Governors Ball is looking East for inspiration. You can too, when you create the look for an Oscars viewing party. Start by running a red-carpet-like runner down the middle of your table.
Come Party With Me: Bedazzle Bonanza — The Look
At any party that involves being creative, set up several stations to create a smooth flow and promote mingling. There should be an area for Bedazzling, a place for food, and a bar with drinks. If necessary, bring in a folding table and use this as the crafting station.
Chill Your Champagne, Stat!
When you're celebrating the onset of 2009 tonight, don't fall short on chilled bubbly. If you've got a warm bottle of Champagne and very little time to make it cold, we've got a fast solution for you.
Place your sparkler into an ice bucket (or another tall plastic container).
Casa Quickie: Rose Ice Cubes
Hosting a bridal shower any time soon? Turn the sophistication up a notch by making some spray rose ice cubes to keep your vino or champagne cool and elegant. These beauties will turn any old ice bucket into a stunning centerpiece, and they're a cinch to make.
Come Party With Me: Oscars Viewing — Drinks
At the Governors Ball, the majority of the stars will be sipping sparkling wine, so stock up on more affordable bottles of Cava or Prosecco. Place wine buckets around the room and fill with ice and bottles. Arrange champagne flutes or saucers nearby.
Off To Market Recap: Beer Bucket
Although my dad finds it totally ridiculous that I can no longer put beer in a regular old cooler, I think it's practically an embarrassment that I don't have a chic little beer bucket yet ( I mean I'm PartySugar!). So, the time has come for me to buy one and I recently asked for your help. I told you I was looking for a versatile bucket (one party it may hold beer and the next party it may hold mini champagne) that is durable (it should last all summer holding the weight of ice and bottles), and fabulous (no corny designs or beer logos).
Off To Market: Beer Bucket
I'm planning on doing a lot of outdoor entertaining in the next few weeks. Instead of putting bottles of beer in a boring old everyday cooler, I desperately need a chic little beer bucket. I'm always writing about them when I plan the look for my parties, and yet I do not own one of my own.
