I attended the International Home + Housewares Show last month with Hoover. I loved all of Hoover and Dirt Devil’s products. But I also wanted to share some of the other things that I learned about while there. This show is closed to the public, so I wanted share some of my favorites.
Pantone’s Color of the Year is Turquoise. I have loved turquoise for awhile now. Even my blog design is done in turquoise. It is probably my favorite color right now. I better stock up this year since EVERYTHING seems to be turquoise. I want to paint several rooms in my house this color, shhh don’t tell Angry Husband.
KitchenAid released their Special Edition Candy Apple Red Mixer this year, and it’s so beautiful. I’m in love with the glass bowl. But, I gasped in awe when I saw that they are releasing an Electric Blue Mixer. They also had many of their other electronic appliances in the electric blue. We currently have a primer gray mixer. We’ve only had it for a year. I’m quite envious of this electric blue now. The representative at KitchenAid also told me that you will be able to buy the glass mixing bowl separately soon. I’m quite excited, because I think it makes the KitchenAid look even more retro than it is now. I do not know the exact release date, but it is coming soon.
Wilton had each of their displays divided up by Holiday. It was great to see all of their new products coming out. I loved all the great things that they had for Halloween and Christmas. I saw some cute baking pans, boxes, and decorations. Everything to make your baked goods looking unique. I was mesmerized by the Christmas stuff though. It seems all of my photographs were from their Christmas and Holiday decor.
I also got to meet up with the Bosch folks and test out their Tassimo again. I was introduced to the Tassimo at The Silicon Valley Mom’s Event that I attended in February. I love how it has a bar code reader that identifies the size of drink, brewing time, and precise temperature to make the perfect beverage. Although I am not a coffee drinker, I got the perfect cup of hot chocolate.

I was trying to take in all the awesome products that were at The Housewares show when I realized that my time was running out and I had to catch a flight. I was meandering through all the displays like a crazy woman. I actually got stopped by awesome people at Regal Ware. They took the time to explain their Unity Cornerstone Collection to me. Ever since Angry Husband has started watching The Food Network, he has become somewhat of a kitchen snob. He has realized that someones you need to buy specific tools for certain recipes/projects in the kitchen. When we got married, many moons again, we got a simple pots and pans collection. Well we now don’t buy just a pots and pans collection, because we have never found a specific set that covers all of our needs. Regal Ware has created the Unity Cornerstone Collection which is a complete set that utilizes three different materials to be used for specific cooking needs. You will no longer have to buy mix and match pots and pans. All of your needs are covered with this one set. We are currently looking for new pots and pans, and I think that this might be just the right set for us.

I learned about so many things while at The Housewares Show, that I’m quite overwhelmed. I’m always eager to learn about new gadgets and products. Angry Husband would have loved to go to this event. Because he’s a gadget guy. I will also be doing some specific products reviews of items that I learned about at The Housewares Show. Stay tuned for those later.
Disclosure: Hoover sent me on this trip. I was under no obligation to blog about any products or items. My opinions above were formed by me. Regal Ware sent me an informational press release and photos about their products. I requested the information, as I forgot to take pictures. I am genuinely interested in all of these products.
