Cheers in Sign ~ A Toast You Can Give Across a Loud Room

The party is at full volume and she still manages to toast the friend by the window without raising her voice, one letter at a time. It is the quietest cheers in the house and the one people remember. Her table has always made room for everyone, and this is how she says so.

• Who Gives It: The host who makes sure every guest is included in the toast.
• The Moment: A crowded living room, eye contact across it, six small gestures and a smile.
• Gift Angle: For the friend who signs, or loves someone who does, and raises a glass to both.

Cocktail Threads made this round ornament for the tree that stands beside the bar cart. Pick ceramic at 3 inches or aluminum at 3.6 inches, and it arrives with its hanging string. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps it ready for the next round.
