Your Judaica, Your Way: Register for the Judaica of Your Dreams with the Jewish Museum Shop

21/07/2022 by Karen Cinnamon

In Smashing The Glass’s Brides Club, we’re always fielding questions about where to register for Judaica that suits your style. Your bridal registry is a perfect opportunity to begin your new life together with unique and beautiful Judaica, and while there are so many options out there these days, it’s not always easy picking out pieces that work with your lifestyle and aesthetics – not to mention finding a one-stop shop where you can register for all the Judaica you might need to round out your collection.

Enter the Jewish Museum Shop. Located inside New York City’s Jewish Museum, on the Upper East Side’s Museum Mile, the Jewish Museum Shop specializes in Judaica and gifts that fit all tastes and lifestyles, from traditional, to contemporary; from formal for special occasions to casual and modern – and they offer international shipping, too. They also do gift cards, which are just the thing to give or get as wedding presents!

Their tastefully curated selection makes it a pleasure to pick out the pieces that are right for you – and the Jewish Museum Shop’s universal registry, which can by synced with registries from other retailers through MyRegistry.com, makes the process convenient and seamless. And best of all, every purchase supports the Jewish Museum – total win-win.

Shabbat Shalom

So what kinds of Judaica do Smashing The Glass couples love to register for? With the Jewish Museum Shop, the sky’s the limit, but items to enhance your Shabbat table are a much-loved place to start. Shabbat is a beautiful end to a busy week, and a meaningful way to bring Judaism into your home, and the Jewish Museum Shop has an incredible selection of candlesticks, kiddush cups, and challah plates, knives, and covers.

Gear Up for the Holidays

You can also make sure you’re covered for all of the holidays:

  • Purim’s a great holiday for entertaining and celebration, and whether you’re in the market for a fun grogger, some adorable hamantaschen earrings, or artsy masks for easy costuming, there’s a super fun selection.
  • It always seems Passover‘s here before we know it! Seder plates, haggadot, and matzah plates, covers, and bags are all wonderful ways to beautify your holiday.
  • For Rosh Hashanah, grace your table with a special honey dish – maybe even a dipper too!
  • Come Hanukkah time, the Jewish Museum Shop’s got menorahs aplenty – whatever style you could possibly wish for, it’s a pretty sure bet they’ve got it.

Meet Karen Cinnamon and Kick-Start Your Dream Jewish Wedding Gift List at The Wedding Shop London Townhouse

15/03/2022 by Karen Cinnamon

 

It’s no secret that I’m obsessed with The Wedding Shop – in my opinion, they’re the ultimate one-stop shop for your Jewish wedding gift list in the UK. Between their unrivalled service, flexibility, and astonishing array of gift options (including not just homeware, honeymoon funds, charity contributions, and personalised funds – not to mention some seriously gorgeous Judaica from beloved brands including Michael Aram, Jonathan Adler, Bernardaud, Christofle, and more!).

And I’m so delighted to announce that on Thursday, 21 April, I’ll be teaming up with The Wedding Shop to host a fabulous evening at their London Townhouse, where you and your partner can chat with members of The Wedding Shop’s fabulous team, other engaged couples, and me – all while kick-starting your dream Jewish wedding gift list!

The Experience

One of the very best things about The Wedding Shop is their unique immersive shopping experience – which means that, while you can of course always browse their extensive selection of gifts online, you’ve also got the option of shopping in-person at two fabulous London locations: their flagship Townhouse, where this special event will be hosted, plus their showroom at Selfridges!

The four-storey London Townhouse, in particular, is an absolute dream, and I can’t wait to explore it with you. There are a full 11 rooms, packed with inspiring products to give you lots of ideas for your gift list – and, especially for our event, there’ll be a wonderful selection of Judaica items on display too! You’ll be able to download The Wedding Shop’s app to scan and add gifts to your list as you go – plus there’ll be bubbly and a goody bag for all attendees!

The Event

Come experience The Wedding Shop London Townhouse with me the evening of Thursday, April 21! From 5:00 to 8:00 PM, you’ll be able to explore a gorgeous selection of gifts in a home setting, meet some of The Wedding Shop’s expert Gift Gurus, who will answer your gift list questions throughout the process, and mingle with like-minded engaged couples over bubbles! 

What to expect:

  • Meet and greet with me, Karen Cinnamon
  • Personlised gift list advice from The Wedding Shop’s Gift Gurus
  • Explore over 450 homeware brands in our four-story townhouse
  • Check out a display of gorgeous Judaica offerings
  • Bubbles and a complimentary goody bag

Have I sold you on this fabulous event? Then reserve your spot today – there are only 60 tickets available, and when they’re gone they’re gone, so don’t delay!

The Judaica

Here in the UK, it’s not so easy to find a one-stop-shop where you can register for all the standard household stuff, PLUS a fabulous selection of Judaica from beloved brands like Michael Aram, Jonathan Adler, Bernardaud, Christofle, and more – and they’ve even got additional lines in the works to be added over the coming months!

Storage and delivery are made easy with the option to store your gifts for up to six months, as well as two UK home deliveries. The Wedding Shop ‘Thank You Manager’ will even keep track of guests’ details. And did I mention it’s completely free to all couples?!

Plus, choosing The Wedding Shop gives you peace of mind. All funds are protected under a ring-fenced trust account, giving you financial guarantee. The Wedding Shop will even go the extra mile by offering you a 20% discount on any top-up gifts you add to your order once your balance is spent. There’s even a lifetime 10% discount on any future purchases as a special thank-you!

The Experience

I’m also obsessed with The Wedding Shop’s unique immersive shopping experience. While you can of course always browse their extensive selection of gifts online, one thing that really sets The Wedding Shop apart is their fabulous in-person shopping experiences in London, at both their flagship Townhouse and their showroom at Selfridges.

You can meet your Gift Guru face to face with a glass of bubbles and explore a beautiful selection of gifts in a home setting. Couples also have the option to add custom gifts from any UK retailer, ensuring your gift list is exactly what you dreamed it to be.

The Wedding Shop Open Weekend

Ready to experience it for yourself? Come experience all that The Wedding Shop has to offer at their Townhouse Open Weekend, taking place Saturday February 26 and Sunday February 27! Explore a gorgeous selection of gifts in a home setting, meet some of The Wedding Shop’s expert Gift Gurus, and be inspired by one-off brand events – from champagne tasting with Moët & Chandon to coffee demonstrations with Sage to a display of Neom Organics London, and so much more!
