Host it. Love it.
Working on our Christmas collections always reminds me of the origins of Talking Tables. At my family home in Scotland, mum cooked endless meals for our large family, often with added friends and relations. It was my job to lay the table and as I became older my efforts became increasingly elaborate (the word tablescape hadn’t then yet been invented), especially for Christmas day.
Then at University, I would annually make the food and lay the table for my Uni mates to celebrate jointly my December birthday and Christmas.
I enjoyed the creativity of hosting, and I noticed that when the table setting was layered in with things that go pop, bang and sparkle, it got the table talking. I realised that gatherings around the table were about shared laughter and shared experiences –whether squeezed into a chilly damp room in a halls of residence or grander dining room setting.
Fast forward through a career in the corporate world, and the time came for me to launch my own business. This had always been a desire and what could be more natural than to follow my passion; Talking Tables was oday, in the aftermath of pandemic enforced isolation, there is an ever-growing awareness of the value of gathering together, and creating shared memories with friends and family. Such occasions can be small and relatively spontaneous, but undoubtedly for most of us the highlight of the year is coming together at Christmas.
It’s our job at Talking Tables to help elevate the occasion and get the table talking. We hope you agree that our Christmas 2023 collection will do just that. I wish you a happy and prosperous holiday season.

Talking Point
Did you know that Santa letters originated as letters that children received, rather than sent, with parents using them as tools to encourage their children to behave. The tradition shifted as gifts took on a more central role in the holiday, and the letters morphed into Christmas wish lists. Every letter sent receives a personal reply from the Talking Tables elves.
Dress Up
For customers who want to light up the room, literally, our LED necklaces are THE fashion accessory of the season. And hats off to our headbands for getting the party started before breaking out the crackers over dinner.
Calling all pet parents

Diwali
Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil and the human ability to overcome. It’s an important religious event for our Hindu and Sikh communities and is a time to gather together and enjoy good food and family relationships. Our Talking Tables Spice collection channels Diwali traditions like sand stencilling and includes pieces that take design inspiration from the festival but can be merchandised alongside our Boho collection outside of the festival which runs for five days in November, the main day falling on Sunday 12th.

Engaging with our communities
Talking Tables is committed to giving the experience of gatherings to more people, including those with less opportunity to get together.
We work with Re-engage, the national charity that brings the socially isolated elderly together via monthly tea parties; as well as old people’s homes and locally with the Lifeline group.
We also support groups who are working to ensure younger people who might not ordinarily have the opportunity to celebrate occasions or gather together socially are able to do so via organisations like Kitchen Social. And we collaborate with brilliant community organisers like the Long Table to help make their special occasions look as good as their dinners taste.
Our customers often come to us when they themselves are supporting a local community activity and we always find a way to help; perhaps with some colourful bunting or some staff volunteers.
If your business is active in the community or you are thinking of supporting a local event please do get in touch: info@talkingtables.co.uk.
