People often use a variety of platters for occasions like holidays, special events and seasons and they tend to clutter up kitchen cupboards. Nora Fleming Minis enable simple platters to be changed to suit any occasion by the addition of mini decorative ceramics. These hand painted objects are interchangeable and from the first little blue bird has grown to include over fifty different items.

A mini is easily inserted into a hole on the platter and simple to remove. Each one is hand painted in a lovely color with care taken over the smallest details. A keepsake box is also available for purchase with spaces for arranging nine items. This helps to keep collections organized and a side lid has a clasp for opening and closing.

Romantic occasions like a wedding anniversary can be celebrated in style. A champagne bottle, a red heart or some red and white hugs and kisses add that special element. The champagne bottle even has a label for personalizing with the use of a marker.

Christmas is a family occasion and a Christmas tree, some berries and holly leaves, a reindeer or a pine cone tipped in snow add to the Christmas spirit. A Santa boot is another item that adds flair to a platter, especially when used to hold decorative toothpicks. Easter is an occasion for celebrating new life and this is symbolized by adding a yellow chick or a polka dot egg. A bunny and three eggs in a nest are other cute toppers bringing spring feeling to an occasion.

Halloween is another holiday where toppers like a witch hat, witch legs, a spider and a creepy eyeball can help to create the atmosphere. A ghost brings back memories of Casper, the friendly ghost. Those with a quirky sense of humor will enjoy one of the newer creations - elf feet with striped stockings. Patriotic toppers like an Uncle Sam hat and a flag are also available and Tiny Tom Turkey dresses up a thanksgiving platter.

Food on a platter can look even more appealing by adding a tiny topper such as a burger. A strawberry shortcake on a platter with a tiny red strawberry is an appealing sight. Long lazy summer days by the pool are made even more enjoyable with platters topped with a beach ball, flip flops or a beach chair. A starfish and palm also fit the occasion.

For birthdays, there are presents wrapped with bows in various colors, a cupcake and even a whole stack of presents. Girls will enjoy a butterfly, bird or a ladybug. Boys may prefer something like a fire truck or sports objects like a baseball glove or ball.

Making a collection of these items offers so many different options to keep entertaining simple yet creative. They are available from many online retailers and it is even possible to find sales and special discounts when shopping online. Price, service, selection and shipping costs are some of the factors that should be taken into account when choosing a particular retailer.
