Today though, we are seeing more and more dinnerware manufacturers reduce their holiday dinnerware runs and limit the production to better manage their inventory in order to reduce markdowns after Christmas.
Just last year, we had stock in almost all of our Christmas dinnerware patterns, today we several key Holiday patterns aren't expected to be in until October and we are getting feedback from our vendors that some dinnerware and tableware items have already Sold Out for 2012!
Example: Villeroy & Boch Toy's Delight
This dinnerware is expected next week but...
The Covered Butter Dish, Egg Cup Saucer, Most Dinner Plates are Already Sold Out!
We have also seen items selling out in:
Villeroy & Boch Winter Bakery Delight,
Portmeirion The Holly & The Ivy - The good news here is more is coming in.
Nikko Christmastime
So if you don't want to be one placesetting short during the holidays or resort to using the chipped teapot or gravy boat, take the time now to review your Christmas china and order your replacement and new dinnerware pieces today.
Remember it is better to order and have it rather than to be stressed during the holidays because the dinnerware you want is Sold Out! Plus now is also a great time to find special money saving deals on Holiday dinnerware and bonus offers on your Christmas china.
And while I can say I am not ready to set my Holiday table, I can say that I already have the tableware I need on order for our family's favorite holiday.
