Sponsored Post: Williams-Sonoma Giveaway

Update: Congratulations to our winner, Alicia!

Williams-Sonoma is one of my happy places. I walk in and there is always something to draw my attention, a new and fun and inventive kitchen gadget to play with, or something yummy to taste. Somehow, even though I am not a culinary genius, there’s always something I want to buy and use in my kitchen!

First up on my list of wants are two little gadgets I have been eyeing – the Rolling Herb Mincer and the Swissmar Multi Slicer. These fall into the “Why didn’t I think of that?” category and are definitely on my wish list!

This Christmas, I’m asking Santa for new dinnerware. I’d adore a set of microwave-, oven-, and dishwasher-safe white porcelain, and I think I’m going with the gorgeous Apilco Beaded Hemstitch Porcelain. I’m incredibly picky about the depth of my bowls, so I love that this set has matching cereal bowls to go along with the more elegant soup bowls.

My husband coveted a set of Zwilling J.A. Henckels knives for ages before I took the plunge and purchased them for him last Christmas. He now swears by them!

And last but not least, what really gets me going when I walk into a Williams-Sonoma is the incredible smells of whatever may be available for tasting that day. In the fall there is the most delicious apple cider, and if you are especially lucky you may be treated to fresh carrot spice bread mix (a favorite!).

    Having a Williams-Sonoma registry was one of my favorite parts of getting married – no joke! I just love that place – I popped in to “play” only yesterday :-). I just created a new registry full of things we didn’t get from our wedding registry, updated for our big move to DC!

    We found that everything related to our bar was purchased first – so we have a bar full of gorgeous Dorset barware. The next most popular item was All Clad cookware, which I ADORE. But here’s the kicker: no one bought us the Shun knives we were lusting after since it’s supposedly bad luck to give knives as gifts. Needless to say, lots of Shun was the first thing we picked up with our gift cards post-wedding :-).

    My favorite item on the yet-to-be-mine registry is a Cuisinart Elite Food Processor. I’ve been dying for one for over a year. And of course, there’s plenty more Shun to be had…

    The registry key is N1016274.

    Every time I walk past a Williams-Sonoma I get so excited! I absolutely adore everything in that store. My favorite item on my registry that I am really hoping we can get is the Classic Greek Key bedding (the duvet in particular). It is such gorgeous (yet simple) bedding that would be so wonderful to have! I can’t wait to marry my best friend!

    WS is awesome. We started lusting after registering there about 6 months before we even got engaged..ha!

    I registered for the William Somona logo towels–my step mom has a bunch of these towels and I LOVE using them when I go over–they are great to use like paper towels and you’re not wasting trees!
