Polish Pottery Soup cups: I like Polish pottery and the bonus is it is not made in China. These handmade, hand painted folk art tradition soup mugs are quite unique. I especially like the handles, they come in four different patterns. They are from Cooking Enthusiast, Item# AP04-073 through -076. The one pictured below is #074, they are $48.95 each, which is pricey but they are handmade and would make a great gift.
Chalk board: What about a chalk board shaped like a rooster or a bunch of grapes. Also from Cooking Enthusiast, Item# AP06-011 or for the rooster it is 012 for $14.95. Great price.
Cork Board: Are you a visual person like me, what about a cork board for your office. Pin up reminders, goals, or even inspirational quotes. They are on sale now at Ballard Designs, Item# WC091-094 depending on the size you want from $49-$299. They come in rubbed black, rubbed white, or Tuscan brown. You can also get a chalk board if you prefer.
Travel Mug: I like this green ceramic travel coffee mug. Shaped like a disposable paper cup but with a lot more character. Good gift for the coffee lover on the go. From Solutions Catalog, Item # 87548 on sale for $14.90
Appetizer Plates: Do you have people over for appetizers? These little plates can replace paper plates and fit into any decor since they are white. One thing I learned from my aunt is to have some white plates. She actually has everything in white so it goes with anything but I like variety so a few white items is enough for me. Check out these from Crate and Barrel, Item# VH337, 12 for only $22.95.
Vegetable Peeler: Lastly, how about something practical. Have you ever tried pealing a butternut squash. I would say it is impossible. I purchase them already cleaned from Costco or I roast them with the skin on. Even cutting them in half is a bear. This peeler says it works great on butternut squash, pumpkins or any thick skinned vegetable. Not sure if I believe it but if it works it is great. From Cooking Enthusiast, Item# AP04-030 for $17.95
