A few weeks ago, I go a note from Jay Arnold gushing about these down throws from Target. He called them a “steal” and noted that they’re super soft and warm. They come in several colors, the cover is made of a polyester micro-fiber, and the fill is 75 percent duck down and 25 percent fiber. Also, (and you know I’m a sucker for this), you can throw them in the washing machine.

Glass Cannisters with Glass Lids

BY REQUEST I have a large one of these that works very well as a makeshift punch bowl, and stores our cookie cutters in the meantime. Now we need a smaller one in which to store the actual cookies.

Round Cannisters

BY REQUEST A while ago, one of you sent a note saying that you were looking for something like the vintage food-storage canisters with labels for flour, sugar, and so on. However, you wanted a modern version. I saw these, and thought of you, though now I can’t find your email anywhere. Anyway, these cannisters let you write your own labels on them in dry-erase marker, so you can change them to suit your needs. They’re earthenware and airtight. Comes with the pen.
