Ours arrives trunk-first: a polished little elephant bearing a positively self-satisfied monkey who has claimed the parasol \u003cstrong\u003eand\u003c\/strong\u003e the spotlight. Made by Christofle—the Parisian house that makes silver behave—this petite folly dispenses toothpicks and cocktail picks with all the ceremony of a royal procession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet it beside the olives and the cornichons and watch your guests turn civilized again. One reaches for a pick, one tells a story about Jaipur, and suddenly the room is better dressed. The pierced parasol keeps everything airy (no clumping, only clinking), while the elephant stands ready for encore after encore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s the sort of whimsical French thing that appears in old travel diaries: discovered in a tucked-away arcade, packed in tissue with a wink from the shopkeeper, and produced at home whenever you want martinis to taste like holidays. If you’re asking whether you \u003cem\u003eneed\u003c\/em\u003e it, you already know the answer.
