Decor Trivets

BY REQUEST A reader wrote in to ask, “Wondering if you could point me to some trivets that are cute but not hokey (why are they all in blue and white with roosters?) and on the cheaper end of the spectrum (not too much more than $25 each)?” These trivets are designed to hang on the wall while you’re not using them, and they’re completely rooster free.

Henckels Professional Series 3-Piece Starter Set

If he likes to cook, giving him Henckels knives is just a little bit sexier than greeting him at the door in a pair of spike heels and a silk scarf. This set includes the very useful 8” chef’s knife, 6” utility knife , 4” paring knife, and 9” sharpening steel. When he opens it, you can whisper, “High-carbon, ice-hardened, stainless steel blades with three-rivet handles and a lifetime warranty.” Oh, baby.

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.
