I have another sweet giveaway for you, nice mice! There's this cool network of online shops that specialize in niches, so that if one is looking for particular stuff (kids beds, modern pet stuff, kitchen storage ideas), one can hit up these sites and find loads and loads of variety. My favorite of their family of websites, www.allmodern.com, has a number of cute and inexpensive modern treasures that would be perfect wedding gifts for those venturing off the registry. So, for this giveaway, you get A CHOICE of one of these three goodies, either for yourself (a gift from Souris Mariage to you, either for your wedding or just, you know, cause I heart you guys), or to give to a friend for his or her big day.* For the chef, I have a nifty yellow Alessi Super Pepper Vegetable Chopper (above). You stick a pepper or whatever in there, push that green knob a bunch of times, and--tada--diced. I like it. Low-effort dicing. And it just dices smaller and smaller the longer you push on it. Salsa season is coming up, people.For newlyweds and sundry romantics, I have a sweet little set of six heart-shaped ice cream spoons. I know, I know. My teeth hurt from all the sweetness in here! You can get all gooey-eyed and feed each other chocolate.

And for the aesthete, there is this lovely CAKE Node Bowl (sorry for the small photo, but click over, cause it's worth it). It would look delicious with fruit, or suave with your keys and mail...

To enter:
1. Follow Souris Mariage by clicking the "Followers" icon on the right. (You must follow the blog to be eligible to win!)
2. Leave a comment with which of the three prizes above you'd most like, why, and who it's for.
3. Check back next Wednesday for the winner! I'll draw a random number.
4. Sorry, this giveaway is limited to readers in the U.S. or Canada.

Good luck!

* Any kind of big day is good by me.
(Giveaway sponsored by CSN Stores)

Oooh, the bowl the lovely bowl! Registering for the wedding has gotten me a bit too obsessed with luminous housewares.

I love the chopper! I live in a teeny tiny NYC apartment and love to cook, so I'm always looking for gadgets that will make my life easier without taking up too much space. The chopper will give my knives a break, and add a fun pop of color to my day every time I use it!

I love the spoons! They are way to cute! I have a weird obsession with cutlery, but FH never lets me splurge on it LOL. Awe... they really just make me all giddy and I can just picture cute desserts that would pair perfectly with cute spoons.

PS I've had a chopper like that for years and I promise it's the most useful item in the kitchen. Love!

nicole said...

The spoons, dear Mouse! We love our ice cream. Thank you for the chance to win. And thanks for introducing me to All Modern. Gonna put some items on my Wishpot registry now... xo.

Kristen said...

I love the spoons, and they would be great for serving our guests my homemade vanilla bean ice cream!

megan said...

I scream you scream we all scream for ICE CREAM!
my fiance and i have a slight obession with ice cream. we are still trying to figure out how exactly to work an ice cream cake into our wedding....those spoons would make an awesome grooms gift!
thank you so much for the offer.

I really like the bowl! It would definitely be a gift for me, since I easily spend 5 minutes every morning looking for my keys and phone in my bag before work. This would be a great way to stay organized and is much more stylish than just throwing my keys on the counter. My boy keeps threatening me with a smaller bag so this might appease him for a while. :)

dc said...

The Cake Node bowl is GORG. Way to pick 'em, Mouse!

Brandi said...

the heart shaped spoons are too cute-it hurts! More practically the bowl is wonderful too, i can imagine it full of yummy fruit from the farmers market this summer!

Abigail said...

oh man, i love the bowl but i think i'd go for the chopper -- my knife skills (and knife set) are weak, and this would really encourage me to eat my veggies!

Meldors said...

Oooh difficult choice. I would love to give the chopper to my fiance. He doesn't cook much but it will encourage him to tend the vegetable garden to make delicious salsa. Yummmm!

Rose said...

The spoons are the most adorable things I've seen in a long time! They would be perfect with my vintage ice cream bowls!

(my heart melted a little whe I saw them)

Blogger is blocking me from following you at work. So, this is a comment to tell you that I will be following you...just as soon as I get home.

Until then, I'm not sure what I'm doing. Perhaps just reading?

I hope it's not too late to join!!

I'd really like the chopper. I love salsa but the manual chopping deters me from making it myself...

FarmersDaughter said...

love love love the spoons. fh proposed to me on my grandparents 69th wedding anniversary (valentines day) and we are getting married on my grandpas 90th birthday. our family truly believes he has lived so long and so well because he eats bacon and ice cream everyday. in lieu of a grooms cake we are having a grandpas cake made out of his favorite ice creams.
ps @megan check out marthas swirled chocolate cake (its ice cream) or her sorbet stripe cake... its what we are doing for the grandpa cake with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla varieties

Jess said...

The bowl is SO CUTE! In fact, it almost perfectly matches a bread basket that we registered for. I love it! Thanks for the giveaway!

Jess said...

I think I messed up with the commenting...better try it from this account. Sorry! :)

I really love the bowl! :o)

Lindsey said...

I heart the bowl! SO modern and killer cool - pick moi:)

Ms. Bunny said...

I'm an idiot — I posted a product I liked from their site, not one of the three you listed to choose from. They have a lot of good stuff though. Mouse you were right. Anyways I am already a follower of yours and I pick the pepper chopper. Pretty convenient.

slimjim said...

As much as I love being anonymous, I couldn't pass up the chance to chop onions tear free! I love making fresh salsa, so the chopper would be perfect!

Jenna said...

My favorite item is the chopper! My fiance and I make a lot of stir fry and salads and always get tired to chopping up our veggies. It'd be an awesome addition to our very sparse kitchen!

White Wedding...Nah said...

I love love love the chopper! First of all it's adorable! Second of all we cook all the time using fresh veggies and fruit and this would def. make that easier!

Annie said...

Oh Alessi! I love! I would give this chopper to my super-chef of a fiance. The pepper design is perfect for us. Last year he fixed me up an old beach cruiser and bought the cutest yellow, pepper-shaped bicycle bell to go with it!

Northern Bride said...

I would love the spoons! They would be great for my bridesmaid lunch that I am making for us (especially because there's 6 of us)! How perfect!

Giselle said...

I would love the spoons, they would be the perfect wedding gift for my best friend who is getting married in June in Savannah!

Ginger said...

I need a chopper and love the colors!

Barbara said...

The bowl would be a perfect for my bridesmaid. Modern, fun, and practical just like her.

Mandy said...

The bowl is so lovely!

Anonymous said...

The bowl is gorgeous. I'd love to keep it for myself, but my friend is getting married one week after me and I'd gift it to her!

Allison said...

Oooh, the Dicer! I put one like that on our registry! :)

Merryetta Moonshine said...

My fiance and I are huge salsa fans/freaks! We make fresh salsa all summer from the veggies we buy at the local farmer's market in Portsmouth, NH. We would love to save our poor eyes from chopping onions with this lovely chopper!

Nina B. said...

Oh my god, I interned at CSN Stores in college! That's awesome.

I would most like the spoons because I have a bad habit of leaving my coffee/tea stirring spoons on the counter all day, so they might as well be cute.
