McGee & Co. Hosting Essentials Under $100
Chic, timeless pieces that’ll make hosting feel effortless — and look amazing.
Are you hosting this year? McGee & Co. is running a solid 20% off on their dining essentials right now, and I’ve rounded up my favorite picks for hosting must-haves. The best part? These pieces aren’t just for the holidays — a lot of them double as everyday kitchen decor, so you’ll get plenty of use beyond the season. And yes, everything I picked is under $100, so you get that signature McGee & Co. look without the usual price tag.
1. Longfellow Breadboard
If you’re into home decor, I don’t have to tell you how much of a difference a good wooden board can make. These are stunning — that little curved detail at the top gives them such a classic, elevated feel. They come in a few different sizes, which makes layering them feel really effortless and chic. And they’re all under $100, which honestly feels like a steal for how beautiful they are.
2. Coronet Dessert Plates (Set of 4)
How gorgeous is that berry motif? It’s subtle, sophisticated, and adds just the right touch of charm for a Thanksgiving table. These plates feel special without being too fussy. And if you’re into a matching moment, they also come with dinner plates, bowls, and mugs so you can complete the whole set. Each set includes four pieces — perfect for hosting or just making everyday meals feel a little more elevated.
3. Marble Salt & Pepper Shakers (Set of 2)
This one’s probably my favorite from the entire list — and honestly, totally worth the investment. These tiny beauties are the kind of pieces that guests always notice. They feel luxuriously heavy in hand, the brass topper is such a charming detail, and they instantly elevate your tablescape. If you’ve been on the hunt for something like this, don’t skip it. You’ll be glad you didn’t.
4. Mary Hand-Painted Butter Dish
This butter dish is such a lovely addition to your Thanksgiving hosting lineup — but honestly, it earns its place on the countertop year-round. The organic shape gives it that handmade feel, and while it looks delicate, it’s surprisingly sturdy. The hand-painted blue floral design is so charming, it actually makes the butter look prettier. Not that butter ever needed any help, right?
5. Artois Flatware (Set of 5)
Nothing says luxurious quite like beautiful flatware. And if you're playing host this season, it's the perfect excuse to stock up on little luxuries like this — without blowing your budget. The vintage-inspired design on this set is just stunning, and it’s the kind of detail your guests will notice. It adds instant charm to any table setting and makes even the simplest meals feel a little more special.
6. Marco Glass Taper Holder
A Shea’s Pick — and for good reason. These glass taper holders are absolutely stunning. The ribbed detailing is so refined and elegant, they instantly elevate any setup. Whether you’re styling a holiday table or creating a little vignette on your sideboard or buffet, these are such a beautiful touch. They come in two sizes, and the best part? For a limited time, they’re each under $20.
7. Norfolk Wood Pedestal
A good wooden pedestal is one of those pieces that always feels a little hard to find — so when you spot a great one, you grab it. If you’re on the lookout too, this one’s such a gem. Made of mango wood, it has a beautiful round shape and just the right size to style with candles, florals, or seasonal accents when you’re hosting. It’s those thoughtful little details that really show your eye for design.
8. Malco Cruets (Set of 2)
When I say run, I mean it. These little cruets are absolutely gorgeous — the kind of pieces that instantly elevate your kitchen styling and your hosting game. The design is so refined, they almost look like something you'd find in a high-end boutique. Trust me, these won’t last long.
9. Marlton Breadboard
Another great alternative to the ones we saw earlier, these boards have a sleek slit to hold instead of a traditional handle, giving them a more minimal look. They come in two sizes — medium and large — and the beautiful wood grain is just as rich and warm as the previous ones. A solid option if you're looking for something similar, and incredibly budget-friendly too.
10. Wooden Cake Stand
This all-wooden cake stand is such a beauty — definitely a must-have for the holiday season, especially if you’re hosting. While it’s perfect for serving up those show-stopping desserts, it’s just as lovely styled as a pedestal with decor or a vase full of seasonal florals. It’s one of those versatile pieces that adds charm no matter how you use it.
11. Gold Cheese Set (Set of 4)
Sleek and luxurious with that polished gold finish, these are such a beautiful addition to any collection. Whether you're setting the table for a cozy dinner or hosting a full holiday gathering, they bring just the right amount of elegance. They’d also make a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to host — timeless, useful, and just fancy enough to feel special.
12. Catarina Serving Set
The woven cane handles on these are what instantly caught my eye — such a beautiful detail that adds texture and warmth. It’s easily one of the best serving sets McGee & Co. has to offer, in my opinion. The design is timeless, with the cane giving off a breezy, fresh look for summer while still feeling warm and textured enough for cozy fall and winter tablescapes. It’s a piece you’ll reach for year-round, and it’ll feel just right every time. Highly recommend this one.
