Table Service, a new book-and-play parcel created by local mom Elizabeth Field DiGiovanni in collaboration with Chevalier’s Books and Parcel Air, launched on Friday, November 14, 2026, to give families screen-free entertainment while dining out.
Table Service Parcels Cost $24 at Chevalier’s Books
- Table Service parcels cost $24 each and are sold exclusively at Chevalier’s Books.
- The product includes a book, a small toy, crayons, and wrapping paper that unfolds into a drawing placemat.
- Parcels are tailored for three age ranges—0 to 2, 3 to 5, and 6 to 8—with six different themes available.
Chevalier’s Books Partnership
Chevalier’s Books in Hancock Park offers a simple, old-school idea to keep children engaged in family conversation instead of retreating into phones.
Table Service is a book-and-play parcel made for dinner out with kids.
Everything is wrapped in paper that unfolds into a drawing placemat, and crayons are included.
Parcels come in three age ranges: 0 to 2, 3 to 5, and 6 to 8. Each age range has two different versions, so siblings never open the same thing. The six pairings have themes of animals, sirens, magic, planes, drawing, and dinosaurs.
DiGiovanni Creates Parcel Air with the Larchmont Buzz
DiGiovanni lives in the neighborhood with her husband and two kids. When she brought her idea to the Larchmont Buzz, it quickly grew into a collaboration with the bookstore.
“Parcel Air is built around one simple rule for each occasion,” explained DiGiovanni, according to the Larchmont Buzz report. “On a flight, kids wait until wheels up to open their parcel. In the car, they wait for the on-ramp. At dinner, they wait until you’ve ordered.”

Holiday Season Launch
Table Service is the first Parcel Air product made with a local shop. Table Service costs $24, includes a book, and is sold only at Chevalier’s Books.
It isn’t available online, so families must stop by the store to pick one up before their next family dinner out. Table Service’s timing is perfect for all those holiday meals coming up.
