Negative: Messy and Boring Coffee Tables
Positive: Impromptu Game Nights
1.
Old Mail/ Receipts Piled Up
2.
The same magazines as last time featuring the same celebrity's baby announcement
3.
Nothing (Probably held chips and salsa or ice cream the night before)
The purpose of leaving things on your coffee table should be
for conversation not for convenience.
Here are 3 Changes You Need to Make to Your Coffee Table Now:
1.
Unique Books
People enjoy books that are unique and quirky. Do you have a
book about 50 uses for bacon or 1000 places to see before you die? These types
of text spark conversation about the same subject. For example, my books may
inspire someone to tell the best/worst date they’ve been on, or the most
interesting place they’ve visited in New York. Unique books are best for a
party atmosphere.
2.
Board Games
If you have a mix of people in ages or interests, board
games should do the trick. An impromptu game is an easy way to get people to
laugh. Trivia games may challenge the more cerebral while competitive games bring out
the kid inside of us. I highly suggest the two games shown, easy to play and
sparks many debates!
3.
Book of Thanks
For family occasions, display a memory book. This year I
decided to start a Book of Thanks for the major holidays before we begin our
lives together. One page is used to record the Holiday, Where you Were, Who was
there, and Special Memories.
The next page is for a photo of everyone present and personal messages to surround it:
-What I’m thankful for
-Wishes for the New Year
-Gift they enjoyed the most
-Most memorable event from the last year
-Greatest accomplishment
Over the years, this book will serve as a time capsule and
will be a fun way to reflect on our growth as a family.
Submit a photo of your coffee table’s current state and tell
me why your family needs a Book Of Thanks. Winner receives a Book of Thanks. Competition
closes: Saturday, November 29th, 11:59 pm, EST.
