Steal of the Day: Turquoise Cleaning Bucket

CasaSugar — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 08:30:28 -0700

"Clean house" is always the last thing to be checked off my to-do list. But, that might not be the case if I were the proud owner of the Conran Shop Turquoise Cleaning Bucket ($29.50, reduced from $59). Made of iron coated in a vibrant shade of blue, the durable bucket will last until your cleaning days are over - which will be never. OK, maybe it won't make scrubbing my floors more pleasurable, but it'll lessen the blow a bit, reassuring me that I look good while I'm at it.

Casa Quickie: A Housewarming Bucket

CasaSugar — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:00:12 -0700

Moving into a new house is stressful. You're finally cured of the headache of packing, and then it occurs to you that you still have to unpack! Then, something inevitably goes wrong. The faucet only gives off hot water, the movers break something, etc. Then, you think you're all set and ready to settle in and you realize you're out of t.p. Ugh! So, as much as a warm apple pie or a batch of your specialty cookies will taste delightful to your new neighbors or a friend who's just moved, a more useful (and migraine-relieving) housewarming gift is a bucket of the essentials she'll need to get settled. Think about the things that were most helpful to you when you moved. Then, pick up a handsome galvanized bucket, or even a colorful scrub bucket, and then comb the aisles of at the hardware store for those items, as well as any tools and practical items they might need. If you happen to throw a cold Corona or a black-and-white cookie in there while you're at it, I don't think you'll face any opposition.

Six Gallon Beverage Dispenser: Love It or Hate It?

YumSugar — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 12:15:53 -0700

"Elegant simplicity" isn't the best adjective for this Six-Gallon Beverage Dispenser ($35.75) but it certainly is simple. The spigot-equipped bucket would solve one of my biggest party headaches: My pitchers are relatively small, so I end up mixing batch after batch of whatever drink I'm serving and miss part of the party. Would you use this bucket (perhaps with some added adornments) or is it too ugly for you?

Off To Market: Beer Bucket

partysugar — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 03:18:01 -0700

I'm planning on doing a lot of outdoor entertaining in the next few weeks. Instead of putting bottles of beer in a boring old everyday cooler, I desperately need a chic little beer bucket. I'm always writing about them when I plan the look for my parties, and yet I do not own one of my own. The time has come for me to buy one and I want you to help me find it. I want the bucket to be versatile (one party it may hold beer and the next party it may hold mini champagne), durable (it should last all summer holding the weight of ice and bottles), and fabulous (no corny designs or beer logos please). Bookmark the beer buckets you find in the Yum Market on TeamSugar tagging them with the keyword Beer Bucket.

Off To Market Recap: Beer Bucket

partysugar — Fri, 08 Jun 2007 04:38:10 -0700

Although my dad finds it totally ridiculous that I can no longer put beer in a regular old cooler, I think it's practically an embarrassment that I don't have a chic little beer bucket yet ( I mean I'm PartySugar!). So, the time has come for me to buy one and I recently asked for your help. I told you I was looking for a versatile bucket (one party it may hold beer and the next party it may hold mini champagne) that is durable (it should last all summer holding the weight of ice and bottles), and fabulous (no corny designs or beer logos). I was delighted to discover that you guys found some really cool buckets.

From the classic monogrammed silver bucket, to the bucket inside a mosaic tiled table - I love and want them all. My favorite by far had to be the wine glass shaped acrylic bucket that mellie_608 bookmarked. It's totally glamorous and will look cool with bottles of wine or beers. Thanks to those who participated! To take a look at all that was found, scroll through the images below.

The Ultimate Bar: Ice Bucket

partysugar — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:58:13 -0700

Sure you can rush to the refrigerator's automatic ice maker or open the freezer and grab a tray of cubes, but come on, aren't ice buckets the height of chic when it comes to cocktailology? The supreme entertainer will have an ice bucket ready and waiting, with tongs nearby whenever guests need a refill. The tongs are as important as the ice bucket, one can not exist without the other. If you think about the way a professional bartender works, the ice is always in a nearby and easily accessible location. Often an overlooked ingredient in a cocktail, ice is essential to chilling drinks and is as necessary as the alcohol itself. While there are many novelty ice buckets out there, I prefer to keep things simple and classic to minimize the clutter on my bar counter space. This clear glass ice bucket comes with a beautiful crystal encrusted set of tongs. When it's not filled with ice fill it with fresh flowers to add elegance to your bar! It's even a steal, on sale for only $9.99.

For the sleek bachelor who has it all, this modern-deco ice bucket makes an excellent host gift. The bucket, that is polished stainless steel, has a cute tiny knob lid. The only downside is that the tongs don't come with the bucket (which is also on sale for $29.95) - you have to purchase the ice scoop separately.

The design for this opulent black leather ice bucket (the most expensive at $99.99) was inspired by the Jazz Age's Parisian nightclub furniture. The bucket is double walled for extra insulation and the tongs are modern and stainless steel.

Jack and Morgan Carry Their Bucket List to LA

Molly — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 08:30:00 -0800

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman came out in LA last night to premiere their new sweetheart buddy film The Bucket List. In the movie, they play men from very different walks of life who are both terminally ill and embark on a series of adventures they've always wanted to do before they "kick the bucket." The boys were joined by friends Billy Crystal, John Mayer (who isn't one to miss a red carpet these days) and their pint-sized costar Taylor Ann Thompson. Oh, and in case anyone is still curious, this movie is the reason why Jack showed off that completely shaved head at last year's Oscars. The Bucket List comes out Christmas day and looks like it might be a perfectly (and possibly overly) saccharine holiday treat.

You know--elegant party essentials.
