It is sad...even sadder when my customers don't feel the urge to go buy everything that's being discontinued!
I should go look through a catalog to make predictions -- I can't for the life of me think right now of anything that's just kinda silly and that isn't selling that will be discontinued.

I will be sad to see the rectangle trays go, but then again I have 4 of them and don't use them too much (except for kitchen towels in one, and the other holds various dish detergents on the sink).
I'll also be sad to see the SA Large Square Bowl go b/c I love it so much, but I feel like they're slowly getting away from the square stuff.
I won't be sad to see the kitchen spritzer go because I'm tired of the giant cloud every time I use it.

I don't know that these are going away. It's just my prediction based on the fact that they discontinued the Woven that went with those and you don't see them featured as much. I think the kitchen spritzer is going away because they have more and more recipes that say we should use the oil spray with flour.
products have been redesigned, etc. in those 3 years. I can't believe they would get rid of something that they just restyled a short time ago. But, I think the same thing every 6 months and every time HO surprises me. I can't wait!

Grilling planks were the only thing I could think of off the top of my head.leftymac said:
NO to the kitchen spritzer. I would seriously stock up on these if they ever went out of the catalog. Then again, the several I've had for years are still working fine. But still, not my spritzer.BethCooks4U said:

I've sold several pie gates - people who bake pies really seem to like them.
I'm unimpressed by the linens. And a glass of water with a plastic wrap tent does the job of the herb keeper just fine - I've been doing that for years and my herbs last for well over a week, sometimes 2-3 depending on the herb.

I will be sad as well if the pie gate goes! I figure the Delightful Desserts Cookbook is old and maybe we'll get a new one!
I wouldn't be surprised about the stemware, given the problems they've had with them. I do love them, though!
Have there been any other products (besides Season's Best, of course) that have lasted only 1 season?

All the holiday plates will go
Beaded serving set and small beaded spreader
Does anyone sell - or use - the hold n slice?
What about the cutting board with measure cups?
I expect something new in the bamboo line - I think after how much it was played up in the last catalog they are going to try to make it a bigger line like stoneware, cookware, SA and cutlery.
I love the small round stone we had a few years back - looked like a plate - I use it almost every day for reheating something for my little guy.

I have never used my hold n slice.
I have the cutting board with measuring cups and I got it thinking it'd be the greatest thing ever. It's really more of a pain in the arse though, so I never use it. But then again with a bar board, 2 cutting boards, and 2 large grooved boards, I guess I really don't need to!
Oh my goodness I really am a product whore.

I think the creative cutters will be redesigned, I agree with the grilling planks going.
What do you guys think about the outdoor party sticks? I get a lot of good comments on them, but people feel they just cost too much and do not buy them. I have a guy who wants 4 sets, but refuses to pay $39 a set.
