The best gift for a baker

Now that I've picked up a few things to decorate my place, I'm starting to focus more on kitchenware. Since I love to bake and receive visitors, this S-XL cake pan is the ideal tool for entertaining guests! The silicon cake mold creates fifteen slices of varying sizes, so guests can choose whether they want a large, medium, or small piece. You won't have to slice up freshly baked cakes according to the whims of your guests; this way, the slices are pre-made and dieters can choose the thinnest slices while dessert lovers go for monster pieces! This innovative piece of kitchenware would also make a great gift for your friends who love to bake.

Discount Spotlight: Pure bliss bedding

Now that I've got candlesticks and bookends for my new place, perhaps it's time to update my bedding as well. The Reece collection from BlissLiving, with its urban pewter gray and persimmon color scheme, has definitely caught my attention. Made of 100% silk dupioni, the Reece collection appears both sleek and elegant, while the orange piping and accents lend a contemporary edge. The design is simple but obviously stylish, and the fact that the duvet set is on sale sweetens the deal.

Discount Spotlight: Free shipping at Red Envelope

Since I'll be moving to Los Angeles next week, I decided to do a little shopping in the sale section of RedEnvelope.com for my new pad. I snatched up a pair of these divine loop candlesticks by English designers Black+Blum. I bet these polished chrome loops and twists add such elegance to the dining table, especially when accentuated by flickering candlelight. Each candlestick holds two candles at different heights. I also picked up these adorable quote unquote bookends to hold my sizeable book collection. And finally, in order to get free shipping for an order of $75 or more, I settled upon the cubist vodka set, which keeps shot glasses appropriately frosty and is perfect for entertaining guests!

Discount Spotlight: the blanQuette

What exactly, you may ask, is a blanQuette? Made by a company called Yumi & Laurie, the signature blanQuette is a luxuriously plush, oversized blanket that at first may appear to look like a towel. Measuring 6'6 by 4'9, these blankets are made from 100% certified organic and bamboo fiber materials, and are machine washable--phew! Out of their five collections, I'm a fan of the Laguna, a range of stylishly bright colors like royal purple or fuschia imprinted with a subtle texture. The Furano collection features Asian-inspired designs, while St. Moritz has an exquisite pattern in some beautiful shades, particularly persimmon orange and a rich sky blue. The lightweight blanQuettes can be used for a variety of purposes--while curling up to read a book, watching a movie, lounging by the pool, or stargazing at night. Or just toss it on the sofa as a decorative throw; it's certainly pretty enough to brighten up your home decor!
