Mr. Penguin and I took a Sunday morning to take advantage of some Crate and Barrel freebies at a spring registry event. We hop between the Bay Area and Sacramento often, so after our bummer of an experience at Williams Sonoma San Francisco, we decided to try our luck at the Crate and Barrel in the Galleria at Roseville.

With low expectations but high hopes, we entered the store and were greeted warmly and directed to all the right places at all the right times. They appeared to have a sales associate working every section of the store, so that any time you had a question, a knowledgeable staffer was on hand.
Crate and Barrel runs their registry events like pros. We were pleasantly surprised by fresh OJ, champagne, pastries, and fresh fruit, even crepes and pancakes that they freshly made on site, doubling as a demo for some of their appliances! The sales associates that were staffed in each section of the store knew answers to questions like “Does this come in another color? How does this doohicky work?” without having to consult a manual, book, or coworker.
We registered for the majority of our necessities at Williams Sonoma, but mostly registered for glassware, bar ware, and everyday china at Crate and Barrel. Their selection is great, and it gave our registry a bigger depth of price ranges for our guests.

We didn’t find any fine china that really “wowed” us, so we’re making one last stop at Bloomingdale’s to finish up the registry. Two down, one to go!
