Plenty : Eating Locally on a 100 Mile Diet




Plenty: Eating Locally on the 100-Mile Diet

Price: $11.04

What I Say:
This is a very interesting and inspiring book. It tells the story of a couple that chose to eat only food grown within 100 miles of them for a year. It chronicles not only their culinary journey, but also the impact that it has on their relationship. It also talks a lot about the pros for eating locally grown food, and the impact importation has on the world.

What Others Say:
I read Plenty the year it was first published. The copy I bought this time is for a member of my family. This book was so great, I read it to my husband aloud in the car on a trip we took. It is chock full of information we all should know about the food we eat and at the same time, never boring. It is one of the most reader-friendly books I've read in my entire life and it actually "sucked me in".

Double Spoon Rest




Double Spoon Rest

Price: $14.10

What I Say:
Keeping what spoons are being used for what item while I'm cooking is an absolute nightmare. This product is great. It goes well in any kitchen, it olds two spoons without making a giant mess of your countertop, and it's stable and easy. A great little item for any kitchen!

What Others Say:
love this spoon rest. It keeps my stove/counter top clean, it holds most utensils upright keeping them with easy reach, it catches drips which no longer get on the handle, it's easy to clean, and it is quite nice looking. I hate when kitchen gadgets clutter the kitchen, but this really looks nice and somehow even dresses up the kitchen. My husband thought it was much more expensive than it is.

Firefly Complete Series



Firefly - The Complete Series

Price: $22.39

What I Say:
This is honestly one of the best television series ever created. It's smart, funny, engaging, action packed, and creates a fascinating universe. It's one of the greatest shames that this series was canceled before it was completed. It's gained a huge cult following for good reason.

What Others Say:
I'd never heard of this show until I noticed the customer reviews while browsing through Amazon.com ... The response was so overwhelming that I HAD to check it out. It is without a doubt the best series I've ever seen. I was completely absorbed by the stories and characters, and watched the entire series in one sitting - I just couldn't stop.

JayBird Bluetooth Wire Headphones



JayBird Bluetooth Wireless Headphones


Price: $89.00

What I Say:

How handy is it to not have to deal with wires? These are secure, comfortable, and have excellent sound quality. They are convenient and pretty reasonably price for higher end headphones.

What Others Say:

Great headphones, the bluetooth works really well. I bought some bluetooth headphones a couple of years ago and they dropped out all the time, that put me off bluetooth headphones for a long time. Thankfully all the reviews about these headphones were correct, they work flawlessly, I hardly every get any break ups with the audio and the sound quality is excellent.

Makita Drill-Driver



Makita 18-Volt Compact Lithium-Ion Cordless 1/2-Inch Driver-Drill Kit

Price: $219.99

What I Say:
I don't normally post the more expensive items, but this one is definitely worth mentioning. If you're a handy person at all, if you work in a trade that requires tools, or if you wish to do things around your own house, this is definitely something you should own. This drill is lightweight and small. It fits in anyones hands, it isn't heavy so you don't have to spend too much of your strength holding it. It is powerful and you can get it into tiny spaces. It's battery life is excellent. As a former carpenter, I've used many other tools. This is the only one I've bought.

What Others Say:
The BDF452HW is super light, easy to handle and has good power. The batteries are physically small, but still pack 18 volts. The L/I batteries have a very flat run-time curve...they stay full power until right at the end of the charge. They recharge in 15 minutes (for real). Makita seems to have capitalized on the advantages of new battery technology and combined it with a well built, smooth, advanced tool.

Leonidas Belgian Chocolate



Leonidas Belgian Chocolates

Price: $36.00

What I Say:
Since Mothers Day is almost here and this is really the last day to order things with expedited shipping we figured it would be a good idea to throw you a last minute panicky idea. This assortment of chocolates is enormously, weighing 1lb. It's great for sharing or for hoarding, your choice. Belgian chocolate is exquisite and has no equal. This is a something for everyone assortment.

What Others Say:
Outstanding melt in your mouth chocolate. The dark chocolate is not bitter like many chocolatiers - it has the perfect blend of taste for any chocoholic. I've had many different types of chocolate from Belgium and can guarantee - Leonidas is the "Mercedes-Benz" of chocolatiers. The general assortment is an outstanding sampling of ivory, milk and dark chocolate. If you love dark chocolate then go for the dark chocolate assortment. You will not regret it.

Ninja Stealth Television Remote



Ninja Remote Stealth Television Gadget

Price: $9.95


What I Say:
I almost feel guilty about advocating this device, but not only is it great for pranks, it's also great to have a spare TV remote for when you can't find yours. If you're at the gym and the remote has gone missing, as ours always does, it's nice to have an extra one!

What Others Say:
Great for pranks. I've had so much fun with this. The remote has worked on 19/21 tvs, it's so much fun.

In-Drawer Bamboo Knife Block



In-Drawer Bamboo Knife Block

Price: $20.00

What I Say:
Honestly, we don't all have sprawling kitchens. Counter space can sometimes be incredibly hard to come by in an average kitchen. This knife block is great because it keeps your knives organized and out of the way. It also adds an extra element for child safety if you are worried about your kids getting into knives as drawers are much easier to secure.
A great find for the cook who has everything.

What Others Say:
Such a beautiful product! You'd think it would cost twice as much. I ordered two for my drawer and it fit my extensive knife collection, from my really long chef knife to my steak knifes. Very happy with this purchase.
