That being said, perceived fanciness is not always a sub for personality — or a better quality product. Real personality in the realm of kitchenware and decor comes with a spirit of open-minded whimsy from the shopper and an eye for unexpected designs that can take years to cultivate. Not every kitchen tool has to feel charged with an agenda, of course; sometimes, a microplane is a microplane. But there are so many minds out there cooking up cool, food-centric takes on everyday items, from trompe l’oeil jelly lighters to cocottes shaped like giant tomatoes, and their sales deserve a minute (or ten) of my time.
Let’s tuck into this week’s deals, which round up Williams Sonoma’s best cult-fave cookware brands, a bedside carafe from Amazon (that looks like it belongs in the MoMA Design Store), and 4/20-ready items from Edie Parker.
Edie Parker’s whimsical smoking accessories are on sale
The holiday known as Easter 4/20 is upon us, which means there has never been a better time to justify the purchase of Edie Parker’s eccentric, food-obsessed smoking accoutrements. The site is holding a Spring Cleaning Sale with rare deals on its cult-fave jelly-inspired tabletop lighters, egg-themed “herbal devices,” and plenty of other whimsical pieces that deserve a place on your coffee table.
