The holidays are always hectic, but they're even more so when you have a crowd coming to your home — and you realise a stack of red plastic cups just isn't going to cut it anymore. Luckily, Amazon has you covered with all the tableware essentials you'll need to secure your place as the host with the most (style, that is), and you'll be just as happy to show off on your table and shelves during the rest of the year, too.
From unbreakable plates and colourful glassware designed to survive even the rowdiest guests to pretty table accessories and the chicest flatware we've ever seen, the following 27 Amazon finds are as fashionable as they are functional. Even better, they won't break your piggy bank [1], so you'll have plenty of extra cash to pick up an outfit [2] that's just as chic as your new tableware. The only thing that's left is to eat, drink, and be merry!
