How to Spend a Gift Card at Williams-Sonoma

The big superficial debate: how to spend a gift card?

Actually, the title of this *should* be “How to spend a gift card?”

And emphasize the question mark.

I received a $100 gift card to Williams-Sonoma for Christmas.

You’d think spending that little sucker would be easy as pie, right?

But I’m stuck on a few things:

1. I don’t want to spend more than the $100 on my gift card.

2. The one thing I really want, Williams-Sonoma doesn’t have:

3. I can’t decide between the five other things in my basket, which range from a juicer to a food processor to a new set of everyday plates.

When my husband and I got married eight years ago, we registered for regular, everyday plates.

They’ve held up well, with a chip here and there, and only one or two plates that have broken beyond usability.

They’re pretty, in a utilitarian gray stoneware kinda way. But I’m ready for something different—something crisp and white.

Williams-Sonoma has fancy schmancy expensive plates (*gulp* over $300 a place setting!!!), but they also have what they call “pantry dinnerware” sets of white dishes.

I almost overlooked them, because they’re kind of buried among all the expensive stuff.

But, for under $100 I can get six dinner plates, salad/dessert plates, and cereal bowls … and maybe something else small.

Sounds like a steal, right?

Yep, I thought so too.

What would you buy with $100 to Williams-Sonoma?
