Off to Market Recap: Fab Everyday Glasses

partysugar — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:15:51 -0800

FabSugar has officially moved into a new apartment and her kitchen needs help. She's ditched her mix-matched collection of glasses in favor of new ones. Only she doesn't know which ones to get! You aided her by looking for fabulous, but functional drinkware. You searched for everyday glasses: tumblers, water glasses, or stemless glasses that are versatile and stylish. You bookmarked the glasses in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Fab Everyday Glasses.

The patterned tumblers are graphically gorgeous, but a little much for every day. These sleek curved glasses, on the other hand, are chic and versatile. They can hold water, cocktails, beer, or even wine! Both ElizabethRae and bethany21 saved these glasses, making them twice as cool. To look at all of the glasses, browse to the right below.

Serpentine Goblets: Love It or Hate It?

YumSugar — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 07:01:11 -0800

These reversible Serpentine Goblets ($375-$425) would definitely complete the look at the right party, and I do love the way one side is for water and the other for wine.However they seem a bit too gaudy for normal use. What do you think? Do you love them or hate them?

Off To Market: Red Wine Glasses

partysugar — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 13:12:17 -0700

I recently moved into a new apartment. My parents have been extremely kind - they helped move me in, gave me kitchen tools, and my dad even stocked the fridge with my favorite beer! - but there is one thing they have forgotten: wine glasses! They aren't big wine drinkers themselves, so naturally they didn't have an extra set of red wine glasses for their entertaining crazed daughter. Reader, can you help me by searching the web for a gorgeous set of red wine glasses? Look for traditional, yet modern glasses that ooze style. Bookmark the wine glass sets in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag Red Wine Glasses. Good luck, I can't wait to see your discoveries!

Registry Roundup: Raise a Toast!

YumSugar — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 13:28:51 -0700

While you may have the patterns and theme picked out for all of the dinnerware on your registry, have you thought about your drinkware needs? If you're big wine enthusiasts, you'll definitely want to add a full collection of glasses and wine accessories. If you and your sweetie prefer spirits over wine, then make sure you add a full range of drink glasses as well as all the essential bar extras. Likewise, if you're teetotalers, don't bother with all the drink glasses you won't use. Instead, concentrate on essential everyday glasses, a set of wine glasses - they'll double as water glasses - and mugs and teacups.

If you're not sure where to begin, take a look at our downloadable registry printout as well as all of our wedding coverage at IDoSugar.

How to Choose the Right Kitchen Registry For You

YumSugar — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 10:15:35 -0700

If you've got a wedding in the works, you've probably begun looking into a crucial element of the event - the registry. This retail service will help you determine what cookware, dinnerware, servingware, drinkware, tools, and appliances will be stocked in your kitchen. But with dozens of retail outlets, where should you sign up? Get tips for selecting the right registry for your kitchen when you read more.

Establish priorities. If your place is small, are you looking for kitchen tools to do double duty? Is eco-friendliness a must? If you want to mix and match tableware, make sure that's an option.
Choose a national registry that takes orders online, by fax, over the phone, and in person. That way, both your cousin in Silicon Valley and your computer-challenged great aunt in Baltimore can shop happy.
Your registry should offer a wide range of price points, so your guests can select gifts within their means.
Look for a large assortment of styles as well, from traditional to contemporary and basic to ornate.
Make sure you have a clear understanding of the return and exchange policy, as well as the overall terms of service. For instance: Is there a service charge? How long will the registry be kept active?
Some questions to consider: How much attention is paid to customer service? Is there a representative who can help you resolve any logistical issues? Does the registry alert you when gifts have been purchased? Will updates be reflected on your registry within 11 minutes, or 11 hours? Is the registry flexible with shipping locations?
Don't overlook perks. Some registries offer a completion program, which allows couples to fill in incomplete kitchen sets at a discount. Other sites will donate to a charity of your choice every time a gift is purchased.

If you've got any helpful tips for finding the perfect registry, please feel free to chime in below!
