Happy Holidays!

 

I'd like to thank you all for being so receptive to my first blog and welcoming me to the blog community. It's so nice to know that people want to hear from me. I really appreciate all of the great suggestions about my show and new products please keep them coming. I will be developing more products in 2012 and will definitely take your ideas and kitchen needs into account when coming up with new items to bring to you.

 

Some of my favorite gifts

Like many of you, the holidays are my favorite time of the year. All of the hustle and bustle is so exciting. I especially like sharing my favorite things with the people I love. Here are some of my top gift picks that I will be giving 

to my family and friends this year.

 


 

These items make my life so much easier in the kitchen and in my entertaining that I want everyone else in my life to experience them.

 

A gift-wrapping tip

I also wanted to share with you one of my favorite uses for the Folding Cart (K33132). I find the cart essential for my gift wrapping during the holidays. I can store my wrapped or unwrapped gifts below along with my papers and ribbons and tissue. That way when I'm motivated to wrap my presents, everything is right there at the ready. I love that I can wheel the cart into the family room to watch a TV show with the family while I wrap, or roll it into another room to get it out of the way.

Traditions...

Family and traditions are so important to my holiday celebrations. I continue my mother's tradition of playing Christmas music starting at Noon on Christmas Eve all the way through Christmas Day. When we were children, she told us that we needed to have the music playing for Santa. It brings back such warm memories every year to hear those familiar songs.

 

What special traditions do you have for the holidays?

 

To answer one of your questions...

I was asked about the yellow-handled 4th burner pot that was sold out when you tried to order. It will be back in stock, so keep a look out for it to return in 2012.

 

I want to end by wishing you and yours happy holidays and all the best for the New Year!!!

 

And when you sit down for your holiday meals, remember to deeg-in!!!
