One of the most fabulous of British traditions is undoubtedly the weekend house party. Setting off for a mini break to a beautiful country setting is a festive season favourite, though packing for all occasions can certainly cause headaches! Being a good guest means coming prepared - with a perfectly packed Globe-Trotter case - which means proper attire for muddy walks through to elegant evening dinners. Bringing a gift for your host is a must for added good-guest brownie points; the Mappin & Webb Pewter Hare Decanter is an inspired and unique choice, and can be put to good use as you tell stories by the fire, red wine in hand!
