Liquid Savvy's 18 oz Insulated Bottle

This is a great stainless steel wide mouth water bottle. This is the second Liquid Savvy bottle I have purchased. Family members keep asking for one! This is a great size wide mouth. I have a few expensive well known name water bottles and the mouth is huge! I have to buy after market tops to narrow the top. Liquid Savvy has made a great bottle and the extras make it versatile. Each lid gives you a different way to carry or drink from the bottle. Solid and well made. My other Liquid Savvy bottle is 32 ounces. Both are great!

1byone USB 3.1 Type C to VGA Adapter 1080P Monitor for New Macbook

Technology evolves quickly. It's difficult to be on the cutting edge of everything. And what do you do with older technology that is still reliable? USB Type C is becoming a standard. With more laptops abandoning ports, this adapter is perfect for anyone that still needs to connect to a monitor or projector. Even better the adapter supports 1080hd. This is a quality product, it is compact, the aluminum styling that you would expect from Apple.

Heat/Cut Resistant Grill & Gardening Red Gloves

My last pair of grilling gloves was good up too 500 degrees and were bulky. It was hard to do anything but grip a spatula. The Heat Hunter gloves are amazing! They are good to over 900 degrees. This allows me to do everything I want to do at the grill without pulling my hand away because it heats up. They also are a more natural fit. You can cut or perform finer motor skills more easily than the gloves you see in the As Seen on TV aisle.
These are my new go to gloves!

Easy@Home Deluxe TENS Unit Muscle Stimulator

The Easy@Home Deluxe Tens Unit works well. There are several presets and option to program your own settings. While the instructions offer basic details of operation, I would not recommend experimenting on your own without directions from a physician. The pads can be cleaned to extend their life. I you use the device long term you may need to but replacement pads. This is appears to work as well as high priced medical devices based on my experience and results.

The Gear Ultimate Herb Grinder is a well made, solid tool to use in grinding any herb. I have used the grinder in my kitchen for dried and fresh herbs. This grinder is perfect to prepare just the herbs you will use for that meal. The grinder is easy to clean. It is thoughtfully and solidly constructed. I either rinse or or wash my grinder in the dishwasher.

CuliChef Silicone & Stainless Steel Spatula

I do not know if I have ever held a silicone and stainless steel kitchen utensil with as much heft as these tools. This is absolutely solid and well made! The large flat spatula is nicely weighted (no easily knocking it to the floor).  The tool has some flexibility but still are strong enough to stir, turn, flip or muscle whatever you are preparing.  I'm impressed with this kitchen utensil.

Glass Teapot Tea Infuser with Warmer

Willow & Everett's tea pot is great looking and easy to use. The pot and infuser are simple to use. Hot water, loose tea, steep and enjoy. The set is an attractive highly polished glass and stainless steel. The pot is an impressive way to entertain guests over a cup of tea. Tea steep in an infuser always has a rich and fresh flavor to me. There are lots of pots available. This one stands out as well made and attractive.

Cooking Gloves Heat Resistant Silicone Set

These gloves are great! I've already stashed them away with my grilling supplies so I don't have to share! They are better resistant to heat and melting than other name brand gloves that are similar in design. I feel confident using these at the grill where temperatures commonly reach 400 plus degrees. And they grip so well! The silicone definitely makes a difference when it comes to picking up things.

TechElec SP-X Sweatproof Bluetooth Headphones

TechElec SP-X Sweatproof Bluetooth Headphones are well made. The construction is sturdy. The headset is comparable to my more expensive major brand headset. I like the silicone ear piece that allows the earpieces to stay in place even in vigorous workouts.  The sound is good.  Great for the price.  The range of the headphones is 45 feet, which is great because you don't have to have a phone in a pocket while working out. As far as being a set of buds for the gym they are great!

BYB Super Bright Portable COB LED Camping Lantern

The BYB portable lantern is a go to lantern when we camp or hike.  The LED lights provide plenty of light to illuminate a 12 ft X 12ft room. Closed the lantern is about the size of a 12 can.  Two well attached handles can be used to carry or hang the lantern. The AAA batteries last long because the LEDs drain the charge slowly.  The lantern is rugged. The indirect light of the lantern is best.  It's not a light you would want to look directly into.

Premium Automatic Touchless Soap Dispenser (Hand Sanitizer) - Brushed Stainless Steel

This arrived with perfect timing! The day it arrived a family member came home sick with the norovirus. We are washing our hands like crazy! Nw we can wash without contaminating the soap dispenser. The soap dispenser is easy to fill and change batteries. There is a ring that attaches to the base of the dispenser to raise it off of the counter. We have found that a thicker gel soap is our preference, although it works with any liquid soap except for foaming hand soap.

Best Teacher Ever Glass Mug

This is a great coffee mug. I ordered this for a friend for two reasons. One, great teacher. Two, dislikes being being given teacher gifts. I've been using another mug by Got Me Tipsy. It's great for any hot beverage. The glass of the mug insulates the hot liquid well and it's a nice sized coffee mug for those who like a large mug of coffee or tea. Even better that it is dishwasher safe.

Child Safety Cabinet Locks 6+2!! by Infantcity

I have family members who are having there first child. They will need a system to keep there child safe and lock the cabinets in the house without sacrificing access to them for the adults. This system has it all - the ability to lock out cabinets with ease of access with the magnetic keys that are included in the kit. I have seen similar systems in big box stores that cost nearly double the cost of this system. They are all the exact same technology but this package seems to offer the best value for the complete set. Included are 6 cabinet locks and a two strap system perfect for chest freezer, upright freezers, or fridges. For the price, this is an important part of a household safety system against kids accessing cabinets, drawers, or fridges without adult supervision.

Chalkboard Labels Mega Bundle By Chef's Addiction

Chef's Addiction Chalkboard labels are great!  I use mine for labeling mason jars.  The marker works well.  The label's plastic backing removes easily.  These will stick to any clean and smooth surface.  Glass is a great surface for these!  The designs would look great anywhere.  The extras like the to do list magnet and dry erase marker are a nice bonus.

1byone 3-in-1 Charging Dock for iPhone iPad

This is absolutely the best apple watch and phone charging stand I have.  I have purchased several inexpensive stands, all of them failed in some way.  This stand exceeds my expectations.  When I realized I was spending $10 - $15 for stands that did not meet my needs, I shelled out the money for a quality stand.  I have no regrets!  It's easy to connect cords and devices. The stand looks great and everything fits just right!

Beanie - Ski Hat by CacheAlaska

This is a great, comfortable, breathable and good looking beanie. I read other reviews that mentioned family members and boyfriends claiming the cap as their own. I figured this was just hype, util a college aged family member claimed it for her boyfriend! It is difficult to find a good weight beanie to wear in Texas. Because of the construction and materials this beanie is a 3 season hat (although we really only have 2 seasons in Texas). The fleece lining covers the ears. The beatable material has a good stretch to it.

SteadyDoggie Insulated Water Bottle

This is the second Steady Doggie product I have ordered.  I have been impressed with the quality of both products. Vacuum insulated bottles and tumblers are incredibly popular right now.  I refuse to pay top dollar for a brand name.  The super recognizable name in vacuum insulated tumblers is outrageously expensive. Steady Doggie has put together a quality product at a fraction of the price or big name brands.  Well made and durable.

Essential Oil Roller Bottles by Aster Essentials

These rollers work great. I have not had frosted glass bottles in the past (traditionally I have used blue glass). The rollers fit tightly in the mouth of the bottle. The roller balls move smoothly without leaking. They are easy to fill, use and refill. the bottles are attractive and effective. It is definatley easier to see the level of essential oil in the bottle compared to blue glass bottles.
