M & S and John Lewis have reported an increase in sales of napkin rings. As the trend for formal dining continues, increase in sales has been recorded at approx 30% up.
Also in the must-have dining table accessory race: Tablecloths, Placemats.
*The original concept for the napkin ring, thought to be created by the French during the 18th Century, was to 'privatise' the napkin, enabling it to be reused over a number of days ! Hmm ?
And so, the latest home dining fashion - black slate napkin rings ... chalk your guest's name on the top - was most probably someone else's new idea.
Enjoy your Christmas Dinner ~ with or without napkin rings.
