Everything is prettier in a punch bowl, and they're typically all over your local thrift store, but if not, here's a great option.
VINTAGE Anchor Hocking ARLINGTON PUNCH Bowl Set
Perfect for height. Fill it with matchbooks or olives or dramatically draped grapes.
So the shipping is aggressive, but a full dinner set for 8 is still a decent price. BUT I will say that if you want some holiday hosting china, your local Arc likely has a full set just sitting there right now for sub $100.

The sky is kind of the limit with the vintage dessert cups. I've sources some VERY economical ones, but I love these for height and pops of color (candies, olives, etc.). You can also use them as a vase.
Set Of 6 Pretty Vintage Stainless Steel Ice Cream/ Dessert Dishes

Emporia Stainless Steel Coupe Glasses Set of 4
Ok, so it's very common to find these at the thrift stores, but without the dish that goes inside. A little silver polish and this is very pretty on a table. I love a footed dish.
