My Wishlist
"Glacier" Coloured Bath Mat (1 @ 24x40) Bed Bath & Beyond
"Glacier" Coloured Bath Mat (1 @ 21x34) Bed Bath & Beyond
I think this will match the blue of the towels. If not, then whatever blue goes will look good.

Fluffy Goose Down Feather Pillows - 2
There is nothing like a fluffy pillow to sleep on. Regular length pillows are probably best as extra long ones might be harder to find pillow cases for.
Logostina Saucepans - Stainless Steel (1 BIG Stock Pot) (1 small pot) (1 medium pot).

I have been well informed by "the family" that Erik's favourite fruit is bananas. However, I think his preferred way of eating said fruit is in the form of a loaf.
8 or 9" Round Cake Pans - 2
I can only imagine how much fun my little nephew, Liam, will enjoy telling me how to decorate the cakes that would come out of these pans :). He may only be 4, but he seems to be an expert in this field!
Non-Stick Metal Bundt Can Pan
Don't have one...but could really use one :).

These lids can be purchased from the kitchen store "@ Home" at 213 Elign St. They are really amazing! My sister-in-law has a set. They help to eliminate the need for plastic wrap.
Spice Jar Labels
One of the great battles in my kitchen is always trying to sniff out what the spices are. I am careful, though, to make sure the chilli pepper is clearly labelled!
Salad Spinner
No more wiping lettice leaves with dish towls - what bliss!!
Non-Stick Flipper
Not the dolphin.
White or Off-White Bath Towel - fluffy (2)

Garlic Crusher
Garlic is meant to be crushed.

I've got this one if they have it in stock. I can't find out right now. If you were wondering, this comes from Home Hardware. The brand name is "Kitchen Value" and it's called an "Apple parer/slicer/corer" I knew exactly what you meant when you described it here, as I got one for my mom just a few years ago.
Bread Maker Recipe Book
Need I say more - who wouldn't want to wake up to the smell of delicious homemade bread.
Rice Cooker
Erik & Kristen cook rice a lot, and a rice cooker definitely produces the best rice. Black or stainless steel preferred.
Tea Towels
Kristen really loves cooking for Erik, & Erik makes a pretty great sou-chef. Tea towels would be a great help. Preferred colours: anything bright...yellow, pink, or red.
Bread Maker
There is nothing more lovely than waking-up to the smell of fresh bread, particularly as we know it will be made from all natural ingredients.

Cookie Scoop (medium) - Canadian Tire
These are fabulous! They ensure that your cookies are the same size, but they are easier to use than just a measuring spoon.
Anchor Hocking 4-piece Bake 'n' Keep Set with Lids - Canadian Tire
These dishes can be used for most anything - particularly most anything "potluck!" They would be great for the last Sunday of the month.
