Last week CSN contacted me, asking if I would review a product or host a giveaway of a $150 gift certificate. My kitchen is already hopelessly cluttered with tools and gadgets, so I thought I would pass the gift certificate on to one of my humble readers. A small token of my appreciation.
You should all know really do appreciate your taking the time to follow and read the silliness I post here. When I started this blog it was purely for my own amusement, nothing more. I never expected to be one of those blogs that had followers. Now I look over at that right hand column and I am all astonishment. Really.
Don't worry, I haven't let it go to my head. I really am Ms. Humble. If anything, it usually just fills me with dread that I'll disappoint you and then you'll un-follow me. (Oh no. What did I do wrong…. wahhhhh) I can't handle that kind of rejection.
Wait, this is supposed to be about my giveaway and not my personal neurosis, right. Moving on...
So a $150 gift certificate! For the winner to spend as they please. I should note that the certificate doesn't cover shipping costs but most of the stuff on CSN has or qualifies for free shipping anyway, so no worries there.
So let's make this fun. What would you buy with $150? They stock just about everything from furniture and sectional sofas to pet supplies and housewares. They actually have over 200 different stores to browse.
I guess one of the first things I'd pick out would be a new marble rolling pin for working with chilled pastry. However at $9 that really doesn't make much of a dent in this gift certificate. So much mad-money to spend…this could be fun, right?
So think about what you would like to win and leave a comment below including:
- your email address
- what sort of baking/cooking from their housewares store that you really want or need. A copper bowl, a ice cream maker, or my rolling pin? This is just for fun of course, the winner can spend the gift certificate on anything.
- If you follow my blog or start following my blog I'll enter your name twice into my drawing. If you also follow on Facebook I'll enter you three times. Just be sure to mention that when you enter (To be fair, I will be verifying that the winner was entitled to however many entries they got).
I will write an email address for each entry on a paper slip and toss it into a bowl. I will select one of the slips on Tuesday June 22nd (you can post a comment to enter up until 11AM PST on the 22nd). This drawing is open to all my readers in the US and Canada.
Edit: Looks like I will be spending an entire day cutting out little slips of paper!
Am I the first to enter? Oh no...
ReplyDeleteI would like to have an ice cream maker, or maybe just the ice cream making bowl attachment for my 20+ year old KitchenAid mixer, handed down from my mother.
I have followed you on Google, and through Facebook. I love your blog!

First off, your science cookies kill! We love them in our lab! So obviously I follow you. Second, faithlandsman at earthlink dot net.
ReplyDeleteI killed my kitchenaid mixer making fondant...This would go a long way toward a new one.
I want...
ReplyDelete- nonstick pans
- a set of knives
- 9" cake pans
- a bundt pan
- AND a food processor!
Hmm, I may need more than $150 for all that - but here's hoping!

What a great giveaway! I am in desperate need of a new dutch oven so I would probably get the Le Creuset French Oven Gift Set.

I would definitely put that toward a Le Creuset dutch oven: http://www.csnstores.com/Dutch-Ovens-by-Le-Creuset-C244583.html

Ms.Humble -- a small typo -- you have CNS instead of CSN...I wasn't familiar with the store so I googled it and got central nervous system. I knew that couldn't be right so I clicked on the sectional sofa link. (grin)
ReplyDeleteThat said, my e-mail is westenhoff at gmail dot com
I would spend the gift cert on a good 12" non-stick pan. I have a stainless steel and love it, but could use a non-stick for some dishes.
I have followed you via Google/Blogger, and I'm going over to Facebook RIGHT NOW to follow you there. I've never done that on facebook for ANYONE!
And I bought something called "Farmer's Cheese" today on the advice of the lady at the cheese shop to try as a substitute for turo in the Hungarian Cheesecake. I'll let you know . . .
Love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think I would buy something for my deck. Maybe a bar-set or something.
Following you on facebook too.
Good luck everyone!

We are gearing up to finally start to redo the kitchen in our new house, and I'm hoping to get all kinds of new gadgets to use in it.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the thing I feel like I actually *need* the most is a stand mixer. I haven't put it on my wishlist because I haven't had any counter space I can spare. But with the redesign, I'm gonna have LOTS of counter space!
I follow you on FB, and check your blog the old fashioned way - bookmarks. I love your creativity.
Oh my goodness! I would buy saucepans, certainly. Maybe a cast iron skillet? Some more cutting boards? A great knife?
ReplyDeleteOh by the way, I follow you here and on FB.
Julie @ Willow Bird Baking
I would buy a tea kettle to replace the beautiful red enameled one I accidentally melted to burner that time I turned on the wrong one. Maybe the beautiful blue le creuset one. Or perhaps an electric one to avoid such mishaps. A waffle-iron, so I could make cake waffles. And this isn't for the kitchen but I can't lie and not mention that I would buy some sort of better litter box because OH MY GOODNESS! I am sick of stepping on cat litter.
ReplyDeleteI follow you here on blogger, and on facebook. my email address is jewelaroni at gmail dot com
Ooh, this makes me all sorts of excited. I LOVE your blog, being both a scientist AND a wanna-be pastry chef.
ReplyDeleteI really would like a new coffee maker - so I have all the energy I need to bake when I want. Plus, I've always wanted a marble rolling pin and marble board for making pie crusts. This certificate would be so helpful.
I follow your blog, on Facebook and also on Twitter.
Email: jaimecheah@yahoo.com.
Thanks!
I just tried to look through and decide what I would like, and oh my gosh, i think i just tallied up 5000 dollars! Everyone I know has birthdays in the next two months so this would be perfect for gifts for them, but i also am an avid baker (copper bowl hello!),and my home is also under renovation so....
ReplyDeleteI follow you on google and Facebook and I am a psuedo-scientist (not graduated) so i love love love the science cookies.
ps. i am one of those people who has never won anything ever, but today i am giving it a shot!

There are so many things on that website, I was overwhelmed by the options! I would definitely stock up my kitchen with some essentials, but I spotted this seashell tea cake pan and must have it! http://www.csnstores.com/Nordicware-80137-NWR1377.html

Oh goodness. I think, since I just got out of college and am building a kitchen, I'd want a nice knife set. My $3 one from Ikea is miserably difficult. I'm following you on Google (though not under this ID -- my googleID has my real name so I don't like to comment under it but you can email me to ask me what it is to double check!) and just became a fan of yours on Facebook.

I follow on Twitter, and stop by the page whenever I can for more updates. Definitely one of my favorite cooking/baking blogs!
ReplyDeleteI've been expanding my baking repertoire, so I'd probably buy baking supplies-- a springform pan, a square pan, cooling racks, and an extra round pan for doing tiered cakes.

I really need a decent meat cutting board, so I would get this:

The one we got for our wedding cracked and all the juice would leak all over the counters. It was very sad. :)
there are so many things i would get:
ReplyDeletea waffle maker
la creuset baking dishes
a really nice cutting board
and a wide assortment of all the little tools i never buy because i'm cheap.
I have been wanting a spice rack... my herbs & spices are all over the place - literally (it's like an Easter egg hunt when I cook). I love the 6-drawer chest they have.
ReplyDeleteI have been following you on Blogger for some time now... I also have you on FB. I've made 3 of your recipes including marshmallows - I will live vicariously through your macaroon experience and wait til I visit France again :)
I am experimenting with whoopie pies right now... jalepeno corn bread with bacon scallion filling is what's being shipped out to family and friends now.

ReplyDeleteEven though countertop real estate is severely limited in our tiny tiny kitchen, I am just about decided on investing in a stand mixer.
minnaming at gmail dot com
just realized.. the company is CSN not CNS, guess you have the central nervous system on your mind!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway prize! If I won (and my fingers are crossed), I would invest in a new set of pots and pans. Mine were cheap when I got them and they are at least 10 years old now. They are in terrible shape and I would love a new set.
ReplyDeletereneetbouchard at gmail dot com
I'm torn between wanting a new stand mixer (so I can retire the 40-year-old beast that my mother handed down to me after she finally got a new one) or a dutch oven.

(I just "liked" you on Facebook.)
I would get a nice cutting board and a nice knife. Or maybe... some new grilling gear.

I think I would use the $150 as partial payment for a Henckels knife set. And with those knives I would practice hard until I could rival your mad dessert slicing skills.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog, and as of two minutes ago, I follow you on Facebook, too.
curtis dot isaak at gmail dot com
What would I spend $150 gift cert on? Oh, you mean AFTER I replace the mixer that I burned the motor out and a new, sharp knife to hide from my husband so he won't use it on PVC pipes and other nonsense and a cookie sheet that the kids haven't use in their "experiments". Then I would get a a chocolate mill since no one can seriously call themselves a chocoholic without one...
ReplyDeleteAnd do I follow you? Please, I practically stalk you! Twitter, regular blog reader, and FB plus I hooked my brother and dad onto your posts. :D

I would put the money towards a kitchenaid mixer. Or canning stuff, if they have it. Or more cheese cloth. Or... well, kitchen stores are my happy place, I'm sure I'd find something.

Hi
ReplyDeleteI have got you in my google reader and the post that brought me to your blog was the agarose gel cookies (awesome idea - my husband is defending his thesis in two weeks btw so i think i will prepare some just for fun :)
I would either buy set of extremely good knifes or buy the mixer that i can actually do stuff with as the one i have is a 6$ mashine!
mkasterka at gmail dot com
Things my life is sorely lacking include but are not limited to:
ReplyDeletecoffee grinder
silpat
crock pot
fry/candy thermometer
roasting rack
vegetable steam basket
the list goes on and on. I would try to trim this list as much as possible with a gift cert.
I am a long-time subscriber to your blog (updates show up automatically on my google reader page). I didn't know this was different than following a blog. But now i am a follower as well.
Definitely a dutch oven! I've wanted one for so long! And I just started following your blog a short while ago, but I love it!!
ReplyDeleteCast iron frying pan for making pancakes and french toast, among other things.
ReplyDeleteIf I have money left, a nice set of rocks glasses in which to drink whiskey while I paint (and to share with my models/muses).

I'd start with a new electric steamer to replace the one that just died, and a variety of loaf pans for my bread baking. Then I'd really consider the ice cream bowl for my KitchenAid stand mixer. I keep waiting for my current ice cream maker to die so I can get that.
ReplyDeleteFollowing on Google Reader.
Oh, I can't not jump on this.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say I'd start with the Hamilton 10 cup food processor because the intensity with which I desire a food processor is absurd. Along side that, a new rolling pin, a few more cookie sheets to round it up, I think.
calitastic@gmail.com
hello! i am a new blog follower! Your blog is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI would like to get a kitchen aid stand mixer! I think I've been baking long enough now to know that I would put it to good use. :)
I would figuratively die for a new kitchen faucet. The one in my new house doesn't have a hose! It's fixed in place! I never realized how useful/indispensable/vital the hose was until I have had to live without it. I hate this one so much that I leave the dishes for my husband. He would be ecstatic (and relieved) if we won this!

I could really use a cookie sheet. I know it's really simple but I love making cookies and cookies are like my thing I always have in my cupboards, but I don't even own a cookie sheet. I bake cookies on a pizza pan, how sad is that?
Keep up the great work!
Hi Ms. Humble-
ReplyDeleteThanks for living up to your name and choosing the gift certificate giveaway! I am a happy follower of your blog both through google and facebook. I am a scientist myself (neuroscience and psychology) and I love all the geeky additions you add to your blog.
I would first buy myself a kitchen scale, as I've never owned one and given my predilection for both baking and anal-retentive scientific measuring, that seems like a necessity. After the scale I'd probably use the money to buy a good knife. I have one decent one now, but am in desperate need of an additional knife.
Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI'd buy three All Clad Ovenware Baking Sheets
http://www.csnstores.com/All-Clad-9000SB-AAC1176.html I would never splurge on these with my own money, because just those 3 would take care of the entire $150! I was so excited to find your gel electrophoresis cookies and all the other science-related cookies (fellow stay-at-home scientist) that I feel the need to go on a huge baking spree!

ReplyDeleteI would get a mixer. I have to everything by hand right now. or a kitchen scale and some linens.
I follow your blog, and on FB.
I fixed the CNS/CSN error. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThese wish-lists are really interesting.
I agree with the knives. Everyone should have a good sharp knife and absolutely keep it away from your husband who wants to cut PVC with it (the horror!).
Le Creuset is popular I see (I love them too, I admit it). However, do check out Lodge brand dutch ovens if they carry them. They make the same enameled ovens for much less. They also make fantastic cast iron pans. I have a 12" lodge skillet and a corn bread pan that I'll probably hand down to my kids.
I would like an ice cream maker. Specifically, a self-cooling Cuisinart. $150 would certainly help!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog.
There must be an easier way than writing every entry on a piece of paper...
chessbess@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI've been a follower and a big fan since December. You make me wish I had decent tools to cook, but I'm a broke college student. If I won, I'd put it towards a stand mixer, or perhaps some decent pots and pans, and some bakeware.
:-)
I most definitely need a Kitchen Aid mixer!! My baking endeavors have failed miserably, probably because the 1978 Sunbeam mixer that I inherited from my grandmother makes a funny smell from the motor area whenever I go beyond the "combine dry ingredients" setting...
ReplyDeleteAh, and I both follow your blog and made sure to "like" it on Facebook!
I am blessed to have everything I want and/or need in my kitchen. But I would love to enter on behalf of my darling Daughter #1, a great young baker/cook who also is a nerdy scientist and who thinks your website is super cool! If I am lucky enough to win, I'll turn the prize over to her.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if it counts, but she set up my computer so that your blog pops up on "Google Reader" the moment you post something new. So I know about it right away!
Oh!! this is fantastic!!! I would use it towards buying a KitchenAid stand mixer!! in RED! :))) I love that color and would kill for the mixer ;-)
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog through blogger as well as through facebook. Love your posts - I can't wait to be settled from the move to TX so I can start baking again.
ReplyDeleteAs for what I would buy? maybe knives, or an au gratin dish, a mandolin, or maybe a kitty condo for the two cats.

I would finally get the citron colored Emile Henry pie plate I've been oogling for years, while I begrudgingly continue to use an old clear pyrex one. :-)
I've also had my eye on the set of stainless nonskid mixing bowls from Sur la Table.
imwiththeband28@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI'm moving in a month, and while I have a few nice non-stick pans, I have absolutely no pots whatsoever as I've been using my roommates. So that would be the first this on my list. With anything left over I would get a nice copper or stainless steel mixing bowl to use for melting chocolate over the stove or when I want to make gelato in the freezer :D I've been reading your blog forever but just followed you as well as liking your facebook page :)
Oh, what a great site, I'd never heard of CSN. I'd want new pans (to replace my set of non-stick) and some Le Crueset!

Hi again! oh boy... so many choices! I'd definitely think about using the money towards a new KitchenAid stand mixer (since I'll be moving out from home, it would be nice to have my own). Or, I'd put it towards a Gaggia Espresso machine because I can't enjoy desserts without espresso. Also, I used to be a barista so having my own machine was always a dream of mine. OR (I swear this is the last "or"), I would invest in buying a Staub Cocotte or Braiser Saute Pan for the boyfriend (I know, he's lucky) and a Staub tea kettle for me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this opportunity! I follow your blog here (username: em) as well as on facebook.

Ms. Humble,
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a great giveaway, thanks for the chance!
I'm currently under contract for my first home, and there are so many things I could do with $150 gift certificate! But after careful consideration, I think I'd have to put it towards a Cuisinart 5.5 quart stand mixer, in brushed chrome (or the 7 quart, but I didn't see it on the site). More than furniture, dishes, and other "essentials", I've always wanted my own Cuisinart mixer. As a fellow science nerd and aspiring baker, I can't wait to have my own kitchen and start trying some of your recipes.
I follow you here on Google Blogger, and on facebook. I can be reached at "davidtana at gmail dot com". Thanks again!
I have been dying to get an immersion blender and a slow cooker. With any money left over I could get some decent cookie sheets to replace my warped and stained ones :)
ReplyDeleteI've had you in my Google Reader for ages and I just went and liked you on Facebook.
First, Totally in love with your blog. I made your lovely, blue cupcakes with the fondant daisies for my friend's bridal shower and they were a huge hit. Also, I made your caramels (which was the first time I delved into candy-making). Thank you thankyou! They were out of this world.
ReplyDeleteOkay, anyway, my email address is campbell.rae@gmail.com. I do follow you on google and facebook.
I would buy an ice cream maker, or maybe copper bowls since I have never owned any. Anything that would help me cook and bake more especially since I am inspired to start my own food blog, if only to the share the recipes I try with friends. Thanks again!
I'm following you on Google Reader and Facebook, too!
ReplyDeleteA friend sent me a link, because I'm working my way through the alphabet in pie this year. (I'm on "K" which was, of course, Key Lime.)
So I'd buy an Emile Henry pie plate, a copper bowl for meringues, and a decent knife.

After having an ex-boyfriend take off with literally ALL my kitchen/baking stuff years ago (to the tune of over $2000 no less), the only things my husband hasn't helped me replace are my Silpats and a set of heavy duty baking sheets. I'd also love an extra 6qt bowl for my Kitchenaid (although I don't think that's something they carry). Oh! And maybe some smaller Microplanes for nutmeg and the like.

Awesome! Hmmm... I'm moving so there's a long list of stuff, new knives, nice new cutting boards, or maybe some Le Creuset. There's a lot of nice stuff that I could use to break in a new kitchen.
ReplyDeleteuejioj@berkeley.edu
Oh gosh. I love pretend shopping! I would definitely go for the icecream maker for fun. It would alleviate some of this Florida heat and my A/C is broken currently so it seems even better. I'd go for a baking sheet and a silpat sheet.

I would probably put it toward buying a nice dutch oven for a friend's birthday. She really wants one but has been spending all her time and money on finishing their remodel before her hip surgery in two weeks! I figure once she can stand for more than 10 minutes at a stretch, a new piece of cookware would be a fun distraction during recovery.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love, love, love your blog!
ReplyDeleteI seriously start drooling every time I see a new post! I wish I had all the time in the world so that I can make every single recipe that you blog about! How do you do it??
Anyway, if I won the giveaway I would definitely get an ice cream maker and possibly an ice cream cone maker. I know it's not really a huge necessity to some, but for us in the hot humid south it is an essential to survive!!
My email is liliddick@hotmail.com and (of course) I am a follower.
A FOOD PROCESSOR. Or at least a blender. While I do at least have a decent kitchen since I moved into my new apartment, I am still a po' college student hampered by the severe lack of Kitchen Gadgetry I can afford.
ReplyDeleteIf there's anything left, I'd get a really good set of measuring spoons and some new baking pans--I pine for a muffin tin. And a steamer, but now I'm just getting greedy.
And then I would start working through all your recipes!
Much love,

ReplyDeleteIf I had $150 to spend, I'd buy lots and lots of Silpat mats. Those things are awesome. Those and a kitchen scale. I think my macaron obsession would be greatly enhanced by both of these. I could get my macaron fix every day!

I've been reading this blog for a while (but now I finally have followed you!)
ReplyDeleteI definitely want an ice cream maker! Reason A] is because we're moving to Georgia and it's hot there, Reason B] is that even if I lived in Alaska I'd want one because dang food blogs keep showcasing ice creams to make!
Hmmm...other than that...maybe some tall bowls for mixing, the only ones we have are shallow, so it makes a lot of mess.
I forgot... I'm a follower

I'm going to be a very first-time homeowner starting on Friday!! This means that I am in need of just about everything - cakepans, cookies sheets, everyday dinner dishes. The $150 could certainly go a long way here!

ooo, great giveaway. I would love a copper bowl. And an ice cream maker...
ReplyDeleteA stand mixer. It's the one thing I haven't been able to afford that I really need/want - to knead dough, to make marshmallows, to stop beating things by hand for 48535873945 hours. It's on my wishlist every year, and we always debate buying one... but they're expensive. A luxury.

What a treat! I would probably look at an ice cream maker for me and something for mum, but there is so much to choose from!
ReplyDeleteAmilianna at google.com
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, my entire kitchen could really use some updating. But mostly I would like a new coffee pot where the carafe doesn't spill all over whenever you pour from it causing endless frustration. Being the happy little OCD cook that I am, I would probably ended up spending the rest of the gift certificate (if I won) in their Kitchen Storage & Organization area. Ooo! A cookbook holder! *gets sucked into the site, never to return*
My bank account blames you. :)
Firstly, I cannot stop scrolling through the CSN site; I feel like I have opened Pandora's Box of Potential Naughty Kitchen Purchases. I would blame you, but I love your lime tart too much to have any negative feelings. Ever.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, an ice cream maker would certainly be number one on my list...But I am not sure I could be trusted to eat any other type of food if I had one. So, some TBD piece of Le Creuset bakeware in Kiwi and/or Caribbean would be my second -and safer- choice indulgence.

Love your blog!
Dear Ms. Humble,
ReplyDeleteI realize how deeply unoriginal (among the list of comments already submitted) both of these items are, but I would put the money toward a KitchenAid. I can do a lot by hand -- bread doughs, cake batters, whipped cream and egg whites, but the one thing I've been told just can't be done by hand is pasta sheets. I assisted a pasta making class last fall that used the pasta roller attachment, and I'm determined to own one someday. Thanks for the chance!
(Your quest for the perfect macaron has inspired me to do the same with a few of my favorite dishes!)
bevkchu@gmail.com, proud new blog official-follower (unofficial until today)
wow, that sounds fantastic! thank you for this offer.
ReplyDeletei could really use some new knives and cutting boards, but i'd probably go for some serving trays first. still using the mismatched hand-me-down dishes!
lifeadorned@gmail.com
A new electric ice cream maker, most definitely! Ours bit the dust last Summer and I am missing it so bad! Maybe some Le Crueset too!
ReplyDeleteI am also a Google follower.
I was going to say that I'd get a saucepan to replace the one I accidentally burned ( :( ), but then I saw the prices on the saucepans. ow!
ReplyDeleteInstead, I'd probably add to my pie plate collection. There are some lovely Le Creuset dishes, mmm....
hello ms. humble. i'm a longtime lurker and recent official follower, and i'm going to go over and check you out on facebook as well. $150 invested in my kitchen would go to that marble rolling pin you mentioned--i'd love to see how that changes how i do pastry!--as well as a belgian waffle iron and probably some nice cloth napkins. or maybe a wine rack. =)
ReplyDeletei love your science cookies (it's really gratifying to see other geeky foodies!) as well as all the pies you have recently featured.
love from piefairy (at) yahoo (dot) com
Do you try to stretch the gift certificate and get a bunch of little stuff or splurge on one thing you would never otherwise buy for yourself?
ReplyDeleteI am torn between accoutrements for my new-found love of cheese (cheese knives, markers, cheese boards, etc.) or buying the Le Creuset Dutch oven that I have always wanted but couldn't bring myself to buy. Though the summer heat is making me think of all the outdoor cooking stuff I could use...

After selling Pampered Chef for a few years, my kitchen is full to bursting with tools. :) I really need a new updated kitchen, but I don't think that $150 will go far...although they do sell kitchen sinks and faucets. And I guess I could always use more silicon baking mats (since I only have one). Come to think of it, I don't own a food processor...where to put it would be a problem though...not enough counter space.
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog and on facebook too. Thanks for all your hard work with the Scottish tablet. I have to try it out for my Scottish husband soon. :)
monica@clanmorrell.net
Well, my first thought is to put the money towards a stand mixer as that's the number one item I am missing for baking. But I might also do a bunch of little things, kitchen tools that I need/want better versions of, like some more spring-form pans, a bigger mesh strainer, et cetera.
ReplyDeleteI certainly do follow your blog, but I don't really use facebook, so no following there.

Been following the blog since someone linked it on twitter, and now on facebook as well, love the stories and pictures of recipes while I don't bake much myself.
Ooohh - what a great giveaway! I have followed your blog for... a while now, man! And am about to head over to find you on Facebook (how did I not follow you there, too?).

ReplyDeleteI have wanted a Dutch oven for a while, and I found an 8qt KitchenAid one in a very pretty shade of blue on CSN. I also desperately need some new mixing/serving bowls and found a few sets on CSN. Some even have covers, which I’ve never seen before and which would be very handy. Even if I don’t get the gift certificate, I might get those anyway :)
I am now following your blog and Facebook, and my email is scarlettandmelly@gmail.com.
Can't decide... One of the pastry tip sets, the disposeable pastry bags, or the awesome pastry bag/tip drying rack they have. I know that's three things, but at least I have a theme. :)
