Entertaining Season (Christmas) – Dopamine Dining and Dopamine Gifting

The season for entertaining and long lunches is officially here, and we’re dressing the table to match the mood - bright, maximalist, and full of easy tablescape ideas.

Welcome to where dopamine décor meets a citrus-fueled colour story that’s all about celebration, connection, and maybe just a touch of chaos. Perfect for your annual girls lunch, work party or to shake up your traditional family Christmas. 

The Look: Pink, Red & Citrus Joy

This look is a love letter to this season's trending colours - Pink and Red. A light blue and cream striped tablecloth sets the base for our pink and red fill-your-own bon bons, each tied with a yellow ribbon - playful, punchy, and designed to elevate your tablescape.

⚡HOT TIP! If you can't find a tablecloth you like, look at bedding section and purchase a king size bedspread! ⚡that's what we did!

At the center, we went full feast-for-the-eyes: a papaya cut in half, tucked between lemons, oranges and bright flowers, creating a sculptural, citrus-laden centerpiece that feels alive (and is super cost effective!)

Pink candlesticks, burgundy linen napkins, gold cutlery, and cream-rimmed plates complete the look, while Linear Cocktail and Gin Glasses catch the light and keep the cocktails flowing.

Every detail leans into the maximalist trend - layered tones, clashing textures, and a sense of joy that feels impossible to fake.

The Trend: Dopamine Dining

We’re calling it: 2025 is the year of dopamine gifting AND dopamine dining.
It’s about surrounding yourself with colour that makes you smile before you even sit down. Forget beige minimalism - this season, it’s all about more. More colour, more contrast, more reasons to linger long after the plates are cleared.

The Moment: Bon Bons That Sabotage Small Talk

This table may look good, but it sounds even better - thanks to the new Bad on Paper Fill-Your-Own Bon Bons.

Cringe-free and chaos-ready, they’re the ultimate party starter. Designed to sabotage small talk, each bon bon comes with an icebreaker or mini game to get conversation (and maybe confession) flowing.

Fill them with your own gifts, for example, a mini bottle of alcohol, chocolate, something sentimental or something unhinged and you’ve got the most unforgettable table guest.

And because we believe good fun shouldn’t cost the earth, they’re 100% paper, recyclable, and totally plastic-free. No landfill guilt, no sad toys, no wasted potential. Just good design, good energy, and better conversations.

Good for the planet, bad for boring parties.
