For the upcoming holiday season, I’ve teamed up with Nespresso and Sur La Table to create a preview of my “Festive Finds!” The wonderful folks sent me on my own personal shopping experience, where I got to visit the Nespresso boutique in Beverly Hills for lunch before heading over to shop at Sur La Table in the Farmers Market, Los Angeles.
I had no idea that Nespresso had boutiques where you can actually order food and coffee at! All that I’ve ever seen are the little shops in departments stores where you can sample and purchase their machines.
We ordered a quick bite to eat (which ended up being a lot more food than I imagined!). I ordered the club sandwich with the special drink for the month of October. It was called the Caramelo and had salted caramel ice cream, milk, caramel, cinnamon, and Voltesso Grand Cru.
My DH ordered the prosciutto panini and an iced dulce de leche drink.
When we couldn’t possibly eat any more, we went over to Sur La Table, where I fell in love with just about everything in the store. I also bored my DH since I spent so long roaming the aisles figuring out what to spend my gift cards on.
Gosh, how I wish my pantry looked like that picture above. I. would. die. Hey, a girl can dream.
What did I end up walking away with? Well, I’ll show you!
I’m one happy camper! Let’s break it down.
- White Colander Ornament // Have you seen Sur La Table’s ornament collection? They’re the best stocking stuffers for the chef, baker, and foodie in your family! They’re unique and beautifully crafted.
- Vintage Inspired Pot Holders // This one just happens to be on sale (score!). They also have matching oven mitts to go with them. White elephant gift, anyone?
- Bamboo Chopsticks, Set of 5 // I’ve had a hard time finding a decent set of chopsticks. My DH and I prefer them over forks when it comes to eating soups and noodles, so it’s about time I found a set for our home.
- Nespresso VertuoLine with Aeroccino Plus // This machine has replaced the Keurig in our household because it makes both coffee and espresso! Only one machine needed. Limited counter space in our kitchen means we’re highly selective of what we leave out. The VertuoLine has a barcode reading technology that allows each cup to be personalized by knowing its size, water temperature, rotational speed, and more! It’s available in red, black, and chrome. My favorite part is that it’s topped with crema! You an also just buy the Aeroccino Plus by itself here.
- Meri Meri Blue and Green Toot Sweet Bake Cup Set // Sur La Table’s baking aisle is spot on. They have a cookie cutter for every occasion, more mason jars than you could imagine, and whimsical cupcake liners to match any party theme. These would be great for adding to a gift basket.
- Le Creuset Signature Rosemary 10-Piece Set // I’ve been dreaming about Le Creuset pans for as long as I’ve been creating concoctions in the kitchen. Sur La Table carries their pots and pans in a variety of colors, but I’m a sucker for that soft green.
- Ice Cream Cone Bowl // What do you get for the person that has everything? Ice cream bowls!
I also bought E. Guittard Semisweet chocolate wafers (who doesn’t need more chocolate to bake with during the holidays?), a Le Creuset super-size silicone spatula (it’s GLITTERY!), Ikat Napkins, and Nespresso glass cups.
All in all, you can definitely find a gift for anyone and everyone at Sur La Table. They’re the one stop destination for your shopping needs this holiday season.
This is a sponsored post, but the opinions expressed are my own.
