Waverly Tableware by Hefty

I recently was able to take a test drive with Hefty new disposable plates, napkins, and cups. The new Waverly Collection by Hefty is HOT for the holiday season. Incorporating beauty with the well known Hefty strength, I love how this collection brings design. Items are not solid (as most holiday plates are), nor all they all “matchy” – rather they coordinating creating an elegant accent to the lunch/dinner you might be hosting.

Upon receiving my beautiful collection, I was trying to dream up a holiday party for which to use them. These are the plates, that you plan the party around!  The napkins are thick, the plates are strong, and the cups are sturdy…but best of all, these items make a statement! They are gorgeous!

Hefty’s New Waverly Products Include:
Waverly 10 1/4″ Paper Plates
Waverly 8″ Paper Plates
Waverly 18 oz cups
Waverly Lunch Napkins
WaverlyDinner Napkins

Waverly Tableware is sold in select Walmart Stores across the country. Pick up your B2G1 coupon by liking on Facebook! While on Facebook, check out their Sweepstakes to win $200 to 1-800-FLOWERS, $250 Cash, 34products for your kitchen from OXO, and the New Waverly Tableware from Hefty’s Fall Collection.

What would you celebrate with a new Waverly Collection?

Disclosure: I was provided a sample pack of Waverly Products as well as a Walmart gift card to pick up tableware of my own. All opinions expresses are my own and should not be substituted as yours.
