Iridescent Home & Kitchen Items – Holographic Rainbow Gift Guide – Friday Faves

For this week’s Friday Faves, I curated a collection of iridescent home and kitchen items. These rainbow items can all be found on Amazon. If you are anything at all like me you are going to want it all. I really do love this collection of Friday Faves this week and would love to have all of it in the Give It A Whirl Girl kitchen. I have everything listed here that you need from dinnerware to drinkware in this iridescent gift guide.

I think the truth is out by now about my addiction to anything rainbow. It is an obsession I have had since I was a little girl. Rainbows dazzle my eyes and my senses. When I see a rainbow and all colors combined it brightens my day and it gives me a reason to smile and put on a happy face.

Iridescent Gift Guide

Mikasa Coronado Place Setting Pearl – Iridescent Dinnerware Set

I blogged about the sister set to this Pearl colored Mikasa dinnerware collection. I love both sets of this line. They have a tantalizing pearlescent luster finish. This dinnerware would be best for special occasions. If the service for 4 set price is too steep, why not just splurge on one single place setting? This line also includes an oval platter and a vegetable bowl that shimmers and shines. Who else here wishes they could have it all? Me! Me! Me!

Iridescent Wine Glasses

These sure are a sight to behold! I can totally imagine myself sipping my next glass of wine in these iridescent wine glasses. Each glass is handmade and you will receive a set of 4 of these beauties!

This is something that I most definitely want. I have never seen a candy jar so beautiful! This jar with lid has a stunning raining appearance with all the iridescence a girl wants in her life!

Mexican Glass Hand Blown, Turquoise & White Iridescent Swirl, 18 oz Set of 4

These stunning hand blown glasses from Mexico would be the perfect glass for your next beverage. They have a mesmerizing swirl appearance. The great thing about these is that they are great for everyday use and these can be washed in the dishwasher. I am really loving the iridescent look of these glasses.

Slant Collections – Women’s Pineapple Sipper

I actually do own this same sipping cup but, sadly, mine is just plain and it does not have the beautiful rainbow iridescence to it. I do enjoy drinking some tropical adult drinks in mine or a nice cold, salty blue margarita!

This set of 16 pieces of flatware will appeal to your senses. They sure are dazzling to my eyes. This set is designed to have a comfortable feel and that is something that your houseguests will appreciate.

This week I am going to present to you a curated list of some of my favorite cooking items and some items that earned a spot on my wishlist. There are some great items here that are all available on Amazon. I think most of my readers will agree that these are some great items to have if you are a home chef. These kitchen essentials might just make you the next top chef.

Circulon Symmetry Chocolate Hard Anodized Non-Stick 11 Piece Cookware Set – I actually do own this exact set of cookware from Circulon. My husband did an awesome thing for me and got these as a gift for me. I am completely in love with this cookware set. It truly does have non-stick surfaces and nothing every sticks to these pots and pans. They are also dishwasher safe, which is a huge plus because I dread handwashing. These also have a nice heavy-duty feel to them. They do not have a cheap feeling at all and feel as though they will last me quite a long time. Love this set and I highly recommend it!

Staub 5.5 Quart Round Cocotte, Graphite Grey – This is another piece of cooking equipment that I have the pleasure of owning and this piece here is my pride and joy in my collection of cooking items. Talk about heavy-duty… this piece is it! I use this dutch oven quite often in the kitchen and it is always a joy to use. It is the perfect size for whipping up dishes for my family of 3. It is oven safe to 500-degrees and another big bonus with this is that it is dishwasher safe. I enjoy using this for my pasta sauces that simmer on the stove for a couple hours. I use it for soups, and it is the most excellent pot for cooking a big batch of soup. I also use this for one pot meals. This Staub will last me a lifetime.

The Happy Shiny Rainbow Collection – Part 1 – Friday Faves!

For those that know me, they know that I am usually dressed in head-to-toe black. Yes, it is true. I wear black clothing and I dye my hair black. But my eye is drawn to anything that is rainbow and multi-color. Rainbows bring me happiness and joy. I do suffer from bipolar depression (I am not shy or ashamed to admit it either, it is what it is) so to me this all makes sense. When I surround myself with rainbows I am projecting the happiness that I thrive on. Good days come and go. Some are good, some are bad. I would love for my life to be all sunshine and rainbows but I know that is impossible. That’s just not how life works.

So I created this list of colorful items because looking at them brings me joy. I would love to someday have a kitchen bursting with color. It’s nice to dream… maybe someday I will have my wish come true!

Hope you enjoy this curated list I created of colorful kitchen items!

Mikasa Coronado Dinnerware, Graphite

This gorgeous 16 piece set is service for 4 lucky people. I really do not think I have ever seen a more beautiful dinnerware set in my life. This definitely earns a spot on my wishlist! Anyone want to buy this for me? Just kidding but not really!! This set is also available in Pearl white. I would be happy to have either set in my collection.

20 Piece Rainbow Flatware Set

These rainbow flatware pieces are all the rage right now. We all know that it is already fun to eat but these fun colors make it a whole lot more fun to shovel that food into your mouth!

The Rainbow Party Cup

I have the pleasure of owning one of this faux Solo cups. It is the cup that I most often reach for while having company over. This cup is wonderful for keeping your cool drinks nice and chilly!

Set of 6 aluminum tumblers These look like a nice, stylish, and very retro way to keep your drinks ice-cold in the summertime.

Photo-realistic rainbow knife set Holy moly this knife set is freaking sweet. Anyone want to get these for me? LOL!

Ten kitchen tools in one This device here definitely looks like it would be useful. It has 10 different gadgets in one compact space.

Set of 6 wine glasses every color of the rainbow What a great way to keep track of whose drink is whose.
