Lenox Spice Village Evaluate

My husband by no means buys me kitchen stuff. As knowledgeable gear tester, I merely have an excessive amount of of it. However, for Christmas this previous 12 months, I unwrapped the Lenox Spice Village. And, reader, he hit a house run. 

Not solely did I not have the spice set—or any set, for that matter—however I had this specific spice set on my wishlist for years. It’s continuously bought out, and classic Spice Villages attain ridiculous costs on secondhand websites. (This one from 1989 is $1,400!) When Lenox restocked, my husband instructed me he hit buy sooner than you’ll be able to say “garlic powder.” 

The Spice Village has 24 homes, each distinctive and full with home windows, doorways, chimneys, and floral elaborations. I’ve spent a not-insubstantial period of time staring on the homes, attempting to resolve which is my favourite. To this point, it’s the saffron: a Victorian-style home with two bushes framing its steps. 

The one factor I’ll say concerning the Spice Village is that I want a few of the spices have been totally different. For instance, I’d fortunately swap out a celery home for a cumin one. To me, although, that is small potatoes. 

Along with the spice set, my husband additionally purchased me a storage rack. After studying by many Reddit posts, he got here to the conclusion that Lenox’s included rack was flimsy and never value shopping for. So, he bought a rack from Etsy and was capable of customise the fabric and coloration to match our kitchen. 

Now, the Village sits proudly on my countertop, an attention grabbing piece of kitchen decor if there ever was one. Each time I attain for a home, I get a zap of serotonin, making it a present that’s stored on giving.
