Rockport Lorraine Rainboot

First to recommend

Description

Listening to Olympics coverage on the radio, my daughter announced that she just LOVES Canada, and I have to agree. It's hard to find fault with anything Canadian. I'd gladly show my love for our neighbors up North with these cute Rockport boots. (via Zappos.com)

Stainless-Steel Compost Pails | Williams-Sonoma

First to recommend

Description

I really admire my friend @cyn3matic for the "business as usual" way she composts. If I had something like this for my countertop, I might be willing to try it, too. Of course, I need to do something about that brown thumb of mine...but baby steps...

Ultraslim Aluminum Step Stools | Williams-Sonoma

First to recommend

Description

We built our wall cabinets tall to take advantage of the kitchen's high ceilings - important after losing so much of the storage we originally had. The problem is, I'm only 5'2" and will need a step stool to access more of everything. The new broom closet is pretty narrow... this 3-step stool is ideal.

simplehuman Steel Frame Dish Rack | Williams-Sonoma

First to recommend

Description

Now that the kitchen is almost done, I need to get it organized - and I don't want to muck up all my gorgeous new granite counter by sticking an old Rubbermaid dish rack next to amazing new granite sink. This is just what the doctor ordered.

Now that our kitchen is close to completion, I'm planning for a long, warm winter of cooking - I've always wanted an immersion blender for soups and sauces, and this one looks outstanding.

Jo Malone | Lime Basil & Mandarin

First to recommend

Description

I LOVE Jo Malone's products... the scents are divine and you can create your own complex fragrance by layering a couple of complementary scents. Now they make a pricey shower gel - definitely NOT the kind of thing I am shelling out for right now. But if someone wants to gift me...

Our old Farberware knives are not in good shape. We could use a nice set like this one.

Breville Ikon Panini Press | Williams-Sonoma

First to recommend

Description

Now that we will have more counterspace, more storage space AND more electrical outlets in our new kitchen, I'm looking at new small appliances. I've always wanted one of these - plus, my new Wolfgang Puck cookbook has a lot of recipes that use one.

About socalmom:

I'm a 50-something stay-at-home mom and blogger. I used to be interesting, and will sometimes relate some tales of (pre-motherhood) when I worked in the entertainment industry.

I don't particularly LIKE to shop, but it's something I HAVE to do (just like housework) -- so I might as well try to have fun while doing it.

Stuff I want to buy for my new kitchen.

I love good food and good wine. A lot. That's why I eventually had to go on a strict weight loss diet. It's hateful, but it's...

The kind of stuff we all need -- but with a twist.

I don't want things because I need them. I want them because I WANT them.
