I was looking to buy some oversized red wine glasses because we had broken so many one by one.  I wanted Riedel glasses but didn’t want to spend too much because my clumsy self is prone to breaking them.  Then I read about Spiegelau’s wine glasses on Apartment Therapy recently and saw that they were on sale for only $34 on Amazon! 

I ordered a set of 6 bordeaux glasses and we tested them out with two different bottles of wine this weekend.  My pallette sucks due to my excess consumption of extremely spicy food, but I could definitely tell the difference in taste/aroma with these glasses than the ones we had before.  These are oversized which is what I wanted, but you could go with the standard red wine glasses instead.

Unfortunately the sale is over and the price has gone up to $59.12 for the bordeaux glasses, and $49.99 for the red glasses.   But I think they’re a really great set.

Awhile back, I blogged about wanting a recharging station for all my small electronics that hid all the cords.  At the time, Design Within Reach was the only one who made one but it was $238.  It’s on sale now for $98 plus free shipping. Should I get one?  White or silver?

There are many other companies that have come out with similar products recently.

Hammacher Schlemmer – $24.95.  Charges 3 devices.

Hello Direct – $29.99.  Charges 3 devices.

Brookstone – $75.00.  Charges 6 devices.

Frontgate – $175.  Charges 4 devices.

Sorry for the lack of updates!  I’ve been busier than a mother.  Promise to be writing here more often…

I thought our coffee table was pretty damn cool….

But it doesn’t compare to this one!
