The ART of Entertaining!

At PHAG, we take entertaining seriously. We understand that doing it well is. . . well, an art form!

Since 2004, our tarnish-free alloy painter's palette serving tray has consistently been a best seller. Now, we're pleased to showcase an expansion of the collection to include 7 amazing colors! To create these new products, our best-selling metal base has been coated with a beautiful, food-safe porcelain glaze. The result is a colorful artist's palette offering the beauty and feel of porcelain, with much greater durability. Each palette also includes a tarnish-free, silver alloy serving knife.

Take a peek at some of the amazing new colors including: Robin's Egg, Citrus, and Vert. Now get ready to get creative, 'cause it's Friday, and you've got some entertaining to do!

Get Your Flame On!

Let's face it, at PHAG we're flamin' experts! After all, PHAG flame is the name of our signature soy candle line, and we're living through a flamin' hot summer here in the northeast, so why not make the most of it? That's right summer barbecue season is upon us, and for a BBQ that's rockin' to PHAG come-a-knockin'!

Everyone knows the key to a good grill fest isn't just good food, good drink, and good company- it's also about good music! Why not make your next BBQ hit a high note with our BBQ guitar spatula and Rockin' BBQ fork? Better yet, don't just work the grill, but work the party crowd with our Sing-a-Long tongs! And, if your act is too hot to handle, well, say no more, our hot hits pot holders will bring your grill to chill so you can get a grip!

Speaking of chill, no summer cock-tail can rock-well without our Cool Jazz guitar ice stirrers. Perch one on our 45 record coaster, and it's official, your flame is on, and your BBQ's a #1 hit!

Sophisticated Sea Style

Ever rent a home or condo at the beach (or down the shore as Philadelphians would say) and wonder, "what dollar store did the owners rob to get all this stuff?" I know, personally, it's the horrific bedspreads I'm most amazed by, but, either way; it's a seemingly endless trail of beach-themed tchotchkes that forever tarnish the idea of summer or shore-themed home decor!

Well, it doesn't have to be that way, and at PHAG, we celebrate sophisticated sea style with an amazing assortment of home decor items that are perfect for your beach house, or to give as a hostess gift at your next summer party!

Looking for some creative storage for your favorite summer vino? Check out our Metal Fish Wine Holder. The five-bottle holder holds your attention as a sculptural decor object just as well as it holds your wine! No tarnished idea here, as the holder is crafted of tarnish-free alloy.

Keep those summer breezes blowing with one of our sculpted sea life fans, like the Sea Turtle Fan, constructed of metal with a distressed, shell-like finish.

Having some guests over and need a place to chill the booze? Why send them in-and-out to the fridge, just ice them down in our Beer Boat Beverage Tub, and your party guests can be as chill as your beverages. Or, if you're a DIYer, you can even drill a couple of drainage holes into the tin liner of the boat and instantly create an inspired planter for your deck or patio!

Here Come the Brides!

As the saying goes. . .May showers bring June brides. In celebration of "Wedding Season," PHAG is pleased to announce our partnership with Registry 10- The BUY LOCAL gift registry!

How can independently owned businesses survive as they are squeezed tighter and tighter by chain stores and overseas competition? With a little commitment from you, that's it! Approximately 50,000 couples in the Philadelphia area marry each year. By asking guests to buy local, couples funnel money into the local economy and get cool gifts not found on traditional registries.

Registry 10 is a unique partnership with local businesses challenging each couple planning a wedding to add 10 LOCAL gifts to their registry. The average couple receives $10,000 in wedding gifts at an average cost of $100. So this 10-gift challenge could result in a local economic boost of $1,000 per wedding!

Do your part to make a difference today, so your favorite local business will still be around tomorrow. Oh, and while you're at it, be sure and push for equal rights to marry wherever you are!

Summer Sippin' Never Looked This Good!

Let the party begin with our fabulous line of collectible "Booze Beauties," representing some of the most popular cocktails ever concocted! Each functional cocktail glass features hand-painted detailing and a bonus fab figurine dressed apropos to the theme, with glitz and striking detail.

Choose from 11 styles including: Apple Martini, Champagne, Chocolate Martini, Cosmopolitan, Dirty Martini, Manhattan, Margarita, Pina Colada, Red Wine, Strawberry Daquiri, and Peppermint Martini (for the holidays)!

Each of these alluring collectibles also comes with a white stand so you can display your figurine when the glass is in use. So, get your favorite glass, then get to summer sippin'.

Crystal Clear Philadelphia!

Though our web store makes our products available to customers throughout the globe, at PHAG we're very proud of our Philadelphia roots! Our BRAND NEW collection of crystal rocks glasses pay homage to some of the finest design and architecture the City of Brotherly Love has to offer. Designed and etched, here in the USA, our Philadelphia rocks glasses are made entirely of lead-free crystal, imported from Europe's most environmentally advanced mill. In deference to our loyal customers, and the environment, all designs are laser etched using no chemicals, dyes, sprays, or additives.

The Series 1 set includes four designs inspired by famous Philadelphia landmarks and architecture including: City Hall, Strawberry Mansion Bridge, The Wannamaker Organ, and Suburban Station.

The Series 2 set includes four designs inspired by famous Philadelphia landmarks and architecture including: The PSFS Building, Philly's cobblestone pavement, The Cira Centre, and The Kimmel Center.

So, here's to Philadelphia, the birthplace of our Nation, and a city PHAG is proud to call home!
