What's to love: A fish-shaped platter for serving fish that, although it's part of the White Basics dinnerware collection, could go with a variety of dinnerware.

What does it do: Does your New Year's resolution include eating more fish recipes? This platter might make that easier. It has been said that you eat with your eyes, and this plate will make a pretty presentation of almost any dish. The white porcelain platter by Maxwell and Williams comes in three sizes, with the largest (19-by-8.7 inches) selling for $26.99.

What's to love: This bench is also a storage container. Great for smaller houses or apartments.

What does it do: The sturdy upholstered storage bench has a cushioned top and will hold up to 275 pounds. Useful for storing toys, bed linens, sweaters or any out-of-season clothes. When not needed, it collapses and can be put away. Its dimensions are 32 inches wide by 16 inches deep and 16 inches tall, and comes in three colors: charcoal, linen or navy. It sells for $75.
