It’s no secret that Williams-Sonoma is full of truly wonderful things for cooking and entertaining. Every time my husband and I go in there we both feel like kids in a candy store!

It’s so much fun to browse through all the cool culinary gadgets, beautiful serving dishes, gourmet cookware, bar tools, and more. There’s pretty much everything you could think of to stock your dream kitchen and dining room, which is why it’s the perfect place to set up a bridal registry when you’re getting married and creating a new home.

And speaking of registries, Williams-Sonoma is offering up a $250 gift card that should make some lucky couple very happy! (Full details at the bottom of the post.)

Here are a few of my personal favorites from Williams-Sonoma, starting with their fabulous Ebelskiver Pancake Pan & Mixes. If you’re a breakfast lover this just might be your new favorite thing!

Ebelskivers are small, light, puffy pancakes that can be filled with things like jam, fruit, or chocolate. It’s a pancake you can eat with your fingers! (Forks still work too though.) These little treats originated in Denmark, which is where my mother-in-law was born, so our love affair with them can be attributed to her! Sometimes we’ll leave the filling out and just serve them alongside jam, syrup, or chocolate for dipping. They’re always a  hit with our guests, so this pan & mix has become one of my favorite things to gift lately too!

Another must-have item for any bridal registry – or any kitchen for that matter – is the Cuisinart Green Gourmet Electric Skillet. We use this oversize electric skillet ALL the time for both dinners and breakfasts – it pretty much lives on our kitchen counter. You can do everything from meat & veggies to pancakes & eggs in here!

And then for a Williams-Sonoma exclusive that’s just plain FUN: The Great Cupcake Cake Pan.  If you can’t decide between cake & cupcakes, here’s the answer! Of course the little ones love this giant cupcake, but I’ve seen it light up the eyes of adults too!
