2. Table Setting Placemat
Table Setting Placemat
There's a little trick for figuring out which fork to use when eating at a fancy dinner party; start from the outside and work your way in. That's all fine and good while you're dining, but what if you're the one setting the table? The Table Setting Diagram Placemat guides you to create the perfect place setting every time… or if your guests aren't too pretentious and have a good sense of humour you can just leave it out.

3. PopMat Placemats
PopMat Placemats
These PopMat Placemats with little pop-up designs are SO delightfully adorable. They're a little expensive: almost US$34 for 10. Since they're made out of paper, I'm thinking a one-time use. Still, they are hard to resist - especially the mailbox/bird design. Since they're a bit of a splurge, I think they would make a nice hostess or housewarming gift. You can buy them in cream or white at Charles and Marie. [More information]

6. Fibre Optics Placemats
Fiber Optics Placemats
The latest development in fibre optics fabric has enabled the ambient glowing fabric to be incorporated into the furniture industry. Fibre Optics Fabric placemats emit a coloured light along the full length of the fibres, producing a stunning luminous effect. Unlike LEDs, Electroluminescence or Neon lights, the fibre optics placemats' light is derived from a subtle layer, creating a sense of mystery, beauty and elegance in the shadow of darkness. The placemats are 35 x 50cm. [Source]
