International Housewares Preview

Apologies about the missing blog header...we are trying to find it!


A couple of weeks ago I was invited to a NYC preview of the International Home & Housewares Show, which will be held in Chicago next month. I got a close-up looks at some clever new products including these (where available, I've included links to buy them online):

Tovolo "Spatulart" Mini Silicone Spatulas & Turners (many available at Amazon.com--$5.95 for a set of 2 mini-spatulas, $12 for a pancake turner). Cute for cooking with kids!


Zoku Chocolate Station ($19.95, exclusively at Williams Sonoma). An affordable and kid-friendly appliance that allows you to make your own ice cream pops with a variety of chocolate toppings.



Wexel Art ($59.99 for a rectangular 12 x 19 wall frame). Modern floating acrylic frames that use strong wall magnets. Makes it easy to change up your display of kids' artwork.



Kizmos "Get Happy" kitchen gadgets (available at Amazon.com--a set of 4 measuring cups costs $10.09). Probably the cutest measuring cups I have ever seen--and they will stand out easily in your kitchen drawer.



Keep Cup (prices start at $8.50 for an extra-small 4oz cup). It claims to be the "world's first barista standard reusable cup designed for espresso coffee." I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't opine here, but it looks nice anyway. You can choose your own color combos for these lightweight, splashproof and unbreakable cups.


Pack It Lunch Bags (2 bags for $19.95). These insulated bags keep foods cold up to 10 hours without ice packs or gels, plus they fold easily for storage. Fun patterns, too--I like the robots best.



Entemann's Kids Bakeware (select items available at Amazon.com; $15.06 for kids' 7-piece bakeware set). Everyone's favorite grocery store baked goods company has just launched a product line for kids. Love the packaging and that jumbo donut cake looks delish!
