A Little Slice of Everyday Luxury: The Rectangular Vanity Tray

The Rectangular Vanity Tray from Love, Laugh, and Gather Together is the kind of small luxury I love because it instantly makes everyday life feel more intentional. Handcrafted in a Boston studio, each tray is poured and finished one at a time in swirling, geode-inspired resin — so no two pieces are identical. You can feel the artistry in the flow of color and the subtle shimmer, and that “one-of-one” quality is exactly what makes it special to give.

At 15" x 7", it’s perfectly sized for a vanity, dresser, desk, or entryway catch-all. I’m seeing it as a beautiful landing place for jewelry, keys, perfume, or those little daily essentials that deserve a prettier home. And unlike most decorative trays, this one is food-safe and heat-resistant up to 203°F, so it can double as a serving or charcuterie tray when you’re hosting, which makes it even more useful (and more gift-worthy).

I also appreciate the thoughtful quality behind the brand: eco-friendly packaging, made in the USA, and a portion of every order supports the Plain Jaine Foundation. It’s meaning + beauty in one polished object — a perfect gift for the woman who loves calm, order, and a little everyday magic in her space. Shop now!
