Nothing signifies love more than a heart and I adore Alessi’s Ovale flatware as a sweet touch to a tablesetting at a reception or bridal shower. Crafted of stainless steel, these settings also make a nice gift, perhaps a spoon tied onto a bag of coffee grounds or tea as a party favor. Other sweet sentimental pieces include a heart-shaped nutcracker and white love mugs. Simply cute! ($5.50 for individual settings, 24-piece flatware $243; set of four heart-shaped spoons, $38; nutcracker $24, all from Alessi.com
