What products would you like to see come out in spring? I recently had lunch with my director and others in our cluster and our director asked each of us what we would like to see. There were lots of ideas and suggestions that sounded great!! I would like to see what everyone else would like to see next season.:)
 
Maybe new stoneware colors:)
 
lids for the Simple Additions bowls and an automatic cream whipper...the kind with the CO2 cartridge
 
a not stick mat... like a Silpat
 
I second lids for the SA bowls. I'd also like to see an ergonomic vegetable peeler instead of the metal one we have now.
 
Simple Additions canisters and salt/pepper shakers. Maybe a couple more pieces of the silicone bakeware.

Yes! I also would like lids for the SA bowls. I'd like more woven pieces--maybe smaller ones.
 
I too would LOVE to SA canisters and lids for the SA pieces. I'd also like to add a griddle type Grill Pan. The kind that Giada or Rachel uses.
 
A medium bowl woven would be great!
 
flatwareBrushed stainless steel flatware would be great! I have customers asking for eating utensils that match our serving pieces all the time, because they are so gorgeous! But, I've been saying that for awhile now, so I'm not holding my breath.

A mezzaluna...it's a "rocking" knife with two handles on either side and two blades. It's THE BEST for chopping herbs. We just recently got a William Sonoma store here in ABQ and they have it. I told my DH that's the ONLY thing he's allowed to get me from there! :p

I totally agree about the salt & pepper and canisters on the SA, and I would love more woven pieces as well. I use the medium square that we were able to earn at NC 2005 as a napkin holder on my table, and everyone wants one!
A woven for the medium round stone would go over well, I think.

These are all items on my "dream" list. I do think we'll see another silicone piece, and maybe an expansion of the decorator bottle line, due to their popularity. S/S is typically when they release a new Chillzanne piece as well, so I wouldn't be surpised to see that...althought what it will be, I have no idea.

I'm sure I'll think of more later, but that's what came to mind now!
 
I'd love to see us add flatware and glassware. That way we can really sell our SA as tableware and serving pieces.
 
I would love to see SA canisters, salt and pepper shakers and a napkin and paper towel holder. I would also love to see a grease dripping canister that could sit on top of the stove.
 
How about the thing they use on Pineapples...dunno whats its called, but it peels,cores in 1 push....:rolleyes:
I bet we could come up with other uses for it;) ;) ;)


BTW...Has anyone seen the latest Williams & Sonoma catalog...our meat tenderizer is E X A C T L Y the same exect ours is 8.00 cheaper!!:D
 
A mango pitter
a brushed stainless tool turnabout
a hanging pot rack
more open stock cookware pieces
the old oven mitts that we all miss so much
a knife block
a mortar & pestle
a butter bell
a donut shaped stone to make round cakes in

OK, maybe I'm stupid,:confused: but what in the world is a butter bell and could you explain the donut stone a little better. I'm just picturing the fluted stone.

Sorry
 
I second a hanging pot rack and a grease canister.
 
Yes, bring that Medium Woven into the product line!!!!!
 
A hanging rack for the nylon tool sets
 
I would LOVE to see different colors on the Tool turn about. I would love a stainless love or black one. I have SO many requests for a black one.:D
 
Round SA bowls
New Cranberry Baker in another color
Hanging Rack for Chef's Tools
Matching SA Canisters
Medium SA Platter with Cranberry accent in different colors
Smaller Woven Bowl
Measure-All with Lid so you could stack ingredients
SA Coffee & More Cups in different colors

Wave 2 in 2007
 
Tools in white or blue in addition to black.
 
This is odd, but I have had several requests for a flour sifter...
 
I want a regular silicone muffin pan, and more gadgets :)

Are you ladies crazy?? Glassware?? The warehouse and UPS would have a fieldday with GLASS!

I too want MORE silicone pieces. And you are definitely right about the glassware. HO has problems with stones, could you imagine glasses. Although my customers as for it often!
 
I'm still hoping for a 2-cup batter bowl with lid and a garlic keeper. :)

Would that be smaller than the small batter bowl? Also I agree with a garlic keeper.;)

I love those ideas.
 
I've had people wanting to get some sort of storage container for the tips to the EAD. That would be nice...

I'm sure whatever they come up with will be great and has been decided long ago - during the home office tour at conference they said that they are developing almost 2 to 3 years out!
 
My Upline is on one of the committee's with HO. I can't remember if it's the Promo or New Product committee. I just wish we could get her to crack and share the info that we know she has.:D

The Small Batter Bowl is 4 cup. I want a 2 cup one for smaller jobs...glazes, cake batter for a marbled cakes, crumb toppings, etc....
