—————————————————————————————
In my fantasy kitchen/cooking world, there are several stores that I could spend the rest of my life in. No, really. Like, hide out under one of the large urns so as not to be discovered and make myself at home. For forever.
Since I live smack dab in the middle of Wisconsin, I don’t get the lavish opportunity to visit any of my favored kitchen/home stores very often. But when I do leave my neck of the woods and traverse the state to Chicago, Minneapolis or even far out west to Portland (where my in-laws live), I always make a point to stop somewhere and gaze and gawk at all the things I am mentally adding to my wish list.
Among the stores that I love, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel rank right up there. So today, I’m giving away TWO $100 gift cards to your store of choice from my favorite list of three. I’ll contact the winners and they can specify to which store they’d like to receive the gift card.
To enter, leave ONE comment on this very post telling me the #1 item topping your wish list right now (even if it isn’t kitchen/cooking related).
My top wish list item (dear husband, are you reading this??) is this glass drink dispenser from Pottery Barn. Major Love. Major.
I’ll announce the winners on this post probably right around Thursday morning when my favorite and final giveaway of the series will appear. Oh, I can’t wait!
{Giveaway sponsored by me. Sad as it is to admit, none of the three stores listed above have any stinking idea who I am. I’m off to mourn that knowledge…and pore over their catalog pages to add more delicious things to my wish list.}

I have a Cuisinart Food Processor on my wish list right now!
I would love some new Melamine 3-Piece Mixing Bowls from Williams and Sonoma.
Not kitchen related…we’re all about finishing the nursery right now. Curtains for the nursery are on the top of my list!
The #1 item on my wish list right now is definitely a KitchenAid Mixer! Or maybe a really nice food processor! I’ve got too many desirable items on my list that they all just melt together and I’d be just as happy to receive any of them!
A good blender! Good, strong, doesn’t crack at the first sign of ice…ahhh, that would be so lovely!
I would really love a juicer. I think it would be fun to experiment with our own juice blends and healthy too!
What an awesome giveaway!! My number #1 item on my wishlist is some new table linens from Pottery Barn! OR a Ipad:) I alos love that glass drink dispenser too!
A good food processor because my blender just doesn’t cut it most of the time.
A Le Creuset Classic Round 7 quart Dutch Oven!
I need some new storage containers for my wheat and flours. Thanks for the giveaway!
I was just writing down some things I would like to save for and a Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker is something I’ve been wishing for for quite awhile. I’d also love a food processor, new pots and pans . . .I could go on
Williams-Sonoma, Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn are three of my four favorite stores (Sur La Table is another favorite)! I have been mulling over a headboard from Pottery Barn for my son’s room, so if I win I will bite the bullet and finally purchase him that headboard!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this give-away, Melanie!
Here is my wish list right now:
Wii Fit plus for my Wii to continue with my Weight Watchers goal
A new medium size pot since I burned green beans on the bottom of my good one
A juicer to make my own juices since I am allergic to citric acid as a perservetive
And while we are at it a new couch as mine is older than my 16 year old.
grill pan (since I live in a tiny, balcony-less apartment, and can’t have a real grill)!
Oddly enough mine is fruit trees. I’m hoping to have a mini home orchard eventually.
#1 is a new hand-held mixer, but if I win I promise not to waste it one that.
I’m thinking All-Clad or Le Creuset something or other. Great giveaway!

Tough question! My wish list starts with a coffee table, All-clad skillet and a good chef’s knife, in no particular order!
New pots and pans ae at the top of my wishlist!
Two things that come to mind right away are new Tupperware or storage dishes for leftovers so I can get rid of all my odds and ends and all the things needed to make making my own baby food as easy as can be.
food processor
Sleep! A one week old will do that to you! But I would also love a kitchenaid mixer!
New pots and pans…..I’ve had mine since I got married-26 1\2 years ago. : )
Number 1 on my list right now are curtains from Pottery Barn. Thank you!
New pots and pans for me!!
Well, cooking related in a fashion, I so want to visit my daughter in NC and bake cookies with her. This past holiday was the first she’d been moved away and I so missed that time with her and the grandkids frosting cookies!
Oooh, that’s so hard to choose. As a young college student, there are SO many things my apartment could use… But I’d HAVE to choose a bookshelf. If you could only SEE the mess my living room is without one… Sigh. Books are too fabulous to sit on the floor. : (
A new fancy toaster!
I want a 3rd bedroom.
Crate and Barrel is my favorite store! I would love some new cookie sheets!

I would like a Food Saver Vacuum Sealer! My friend is always gushing about how wonderful it is.
My number 1 on my wishlist is an immersion blender!
I have two things high on my list, a new vacuum and a wheat grinder. I have other things that fall right behind them like serving dishes, spatulas that don’t melt and a new kitchen
.
From Pottery Barn

I’d like a wheat grinder. I think. Maybe an apple peeler/corer. And some cute bento stuff for making lunches every day.
I would love a Vita-mix! Or a food processor! Dreams….
More counter space in my kitchen. We are getting ready to build our dream home and I am SO anxious for my new kitchen!
I have a Sunbeam Mixmaster, but I WANT a Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer! I love all the attachments that you can’t get with the Sunbeam!
A KitchenAid Mixer! I don’t know if there is room in my tiny kitchen, but with all the baking I do, this would be wonderful!
I would love a food processor.
A large pantry would be awesome!
I would love a new set of pots and pans!

A super awesome blender!
I would love some spice racks or other shelves to help organize my kitchen better!
Id love a Roulpat and a pizza stone.
I would love a nice heavy duty dutch oven….all the yummy things I could make in it this winter!! Awesome giveaway, thanks!
AS I made the most yummy soup last night, I was dearly wishing for a cuisinart immersion blender. It would have been so much easier than pouring the soup between the blender and the soup pot!
Williams-Sonoma has the KitchenAid Grain Mill that I’m dying to try! I completely agree with you, those are three stores I could get lost in forever…
Love those stores as well. I would absolutely adore a great waffle maker. My kids love waffles and when you make them it that beautiful maker from WS, it doesn’t seem like quite a chore.
I realized last night that I am in desperate need of an ice cream scoop… It may or may not have been because of the massive bowl of ice cream I had to use a tablespoon to dish up….
We’re working on remodeling the house…my number 1 is an expedit to organize the toy room, or the tools to make one…something about a pocket drill I think?
A good pizza stone
Baby #2!
I would love a cuisinart food processor. My dreams would come true!
I would love a new rug for our home office.
A new Garmin for running is at the top of my list. Sort of kitchen-related….got to burn off those calories somehow!
I really, really need/want a new stand mixer. Mine is so overused, I can hear it’s joints
groaning each time I crank it up! I live in the Chicago area so am fortunate to have access to these wonderful stores. There is a downside…I love these stores so much, I simply have to KEEP OUT! Thanks for the giveaway!
My immersion blender broke so I’ve been coveting the Bamix Immersion Blender. Thanks!
Topping my wish list are new knifes, though some days a food processor is there.
I’d really love a food processor or juicer! Those would be top of my wish list! Fun giveaway! Thanks!
I would love to have a keurig coffee maker.

I would like to have a cast iron frying pan from Le Creuset. Thank you!
My dream item right now is a Vitamix. We make a couple of smoothies a day and the blender is wearing out.
Thanks for the chance!
Mini Pie Maker!!
Either a new (larger) kitchenaid mixer or a bosch mixer – I’ve started making all of our bread and my current kitchenaid only allows me to make 2 loaves at a time. Would make it a lot easier if I could do 4, 5 or even 6 loaves at once!
A real food processor! I only have a mini one that is on it’s last leg
I really want a gumball machine in my kitchen.
KitchenAid Stand Mixer, Mixing Bowls, Offset spatula…lots and lots.
I would love, love a Vitamix. Every time I walk through Costco I ohhh and ahh at it. Some day.

I really want a pizza stone or a bigger food processor.
Williams-Sonoma has the monogrammed hurricanes that I am DYING for!!!!! Pick me!!
A new sofa!
Totally not food related but I would love a new wireless printer! It would be great to print out coupons to be able to save money at the grocery store! Great giveaway, Mel! Thanks!!
