I’ll admit, I’m a shameless preppy. I also love classic board games and lawn games. Especially if they can somehow incorporate Mint Juleps, Hot Toddies, or Manhattans and of course passed canapés.

If you want to give a little bit of fun this year, Kate Spade has dolled up two classic games: Scrabble and Boules into oh-so-stylish packages that anyone would love.

Stiletto Jungle recommends Boules (here’s the Boules wikii page for a refresher ;) ) in her super chic Oh So Giftable Gift Guide saying “A posh retro game packaged up by the queen of the upper-class American lifestyle makes a fun gift for that uber-fashionable couple on your gift list…Gifting this classy game set shows your worldly good taste and ensures that you will be on the invite list for Saturday afternoon games and cocktails.”

The Jack Spade Travel Scrabble set has been a fave of mine for a few months now.  We all know how hard it is to buy for the boys sometimes, so add this game set to your list.  Great for Dads too!
