Start with the incredible-quality selection at SurLaTable.com. You'll find the Viking Professional series in stainless steel. The Mauviel brand in copper/stainless. And All-Clad with its impressive aluminum core, among many other options. Also prepare to make an easy, tasty stir-fry with the Typhoon Nonstick Hot Wok.

Shower Shade

Goldfish. Butterflies. Polka dots. Paris. What image fits your bathroom best? In search of a simple shower curtain, I found more personality and panache than I ever expected. Here are the web sites where I discovered the most interesting selections:


I fell in love with London Shower Curtain on UrbanOutfitters.com. But if its black-and-white cityscape doesn't float your boat, the Vinyl Pockets Shower Curtain might. This one gives you 40 clear pockets to fill with all the photos, postcards and other meaningful images you can fit in there. There are plenty more funky options where those came from too. And all will earn you a 3% ConsumerClub.com rebate while shopping on this site.


Shop smart as you browse hundreds of affordable shower curtains at BedBathandBeyond.com. You'll find designs ranging from simple stripes and solid colors to curtains featuring monkeys, bamboo limbs, retro bubble prints, the Brooklyn Bridge and even the Manhattan Subway System map. You'll also find dozens of fun shower curtain hooks in a variety of themes and colors.


And if somehow you still haven't found just the right shower curtain, you certainly should on Target.com. I fancy the Waffle Weave Curtain in Chocolate, the French Vocabulary curtain and the Shadow Vine design. These are, of course, just the tip of the iceberg. So search Target.com for shower curtains, review the hundreds of results and earn a 4% ConsumerClub.com rebate on all your purchases here.
