Stainless Steel Wine Saver gift Setby Vacu Vin Inc. (0649350) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
![]() | | customer review: My wife and I typically have a glass of wine at dinner. The Vacuvin product works very well. After pouring some wine, we seal the bottle after each use, vacuuming out the air, and the rubber stopper works well enough that we can lean the bottle on its side and put it back into the wine refrigerator. I am very glad I discovered this product recently. It really saves wine from going stale. | Screwpull Patented 4 Wheel Foil Cutter - Blackby Screwpull (S1415-31) ![]() customer review: Prior to picking up the Screwpull cutter, I always used a serrated-edge foil cutter in a lever-type corkscrew. Those work well, but aren't very fast and you can cut yourself, either on the blade or the foil. The cutting wheels in the Screwpull cutter work quickly and well on all but the heaviest foils (hence the 4 stars). Squeeze firmly, twirl, and lift - off comes a perfect little foil cap.
| In addition to this little gem, I recommend Screwpull's pocket model corkscrew: Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black Riedel Bottle Cleaner Beadsby Riedel (10-05) customer review: If you can fit marbles into the opening of the decanter they will work also. Concerned about the cleaniless of the marbles? Boil them in water, makes a racket but sterlizes them. You can also at times clean the inside of a bottle with salt (rock salt is better harder and larger) or chips of ice, or get some small pebbles the size of a pea and use them. The ice chips will melt when you shake them around, so you might have to do 2, 3, or 4 rounds of using them but they will clean off the inside of the glass too. | Riedel Large Microfiber Crystal Clothby Riedel (10-07) ![]() customer review: I work at several wineries and these cloths are an industry standard. They polish all glassware absorbing and leaving no lint. They are the same material used to clean sunglasses so they are designed not to leave even the smallest abrasion. | Fred Bone Chillers Ice Cube Trayby Fred (BONEC) ![]() customer review: I like skulls and when I saw this I just had to get it... In fact, I ordered four! I love these!
| The quality of the silicone tray is better than that of the "Ice Stick" trays I bought locally last year (I live in Johannesburg, South Africa). Fred Frozen Smiles Ice Cube Trayby Fred (FRSM) ![]() customer review: I own several Fred products, so picking up these was an easy choice. I actually bought them with a couple other items that were all on the 4-for-3 promo.
| These are very humorous and easy to remove from the mold. I agree that the details melt away rather quickly, but here's what I do that seems to help. After unmolding, I place them on a plate w/ wax paper and put them back in the freezer while I make some more. I do this so there are at least 12-16 and if they have had additional time in the freezer outside of the mold, they do seem to last a bit longer. Also make sure you are using cold beverages to begin with if possible. If you are looking for more Fred products here are a couple I can recommend: Fred Cool Shooters Shot Glass Mold Fred Bone Chillers Ice Cube Tray Fred 12-Ounce Pick Your Nose Paper Cups, Pack of 24 Fred Twist and Spout Kitchen Pour Spout Waring Pro WM007 Professional Electric Martini Makerby Waring (WM007) ![]() customer review: works well, but it could do a better job on "shaking" a martini.
| Overall a good product. The Wine Enthusiast Vivid Decanter - 60-oz.by The Wine Enthusiast ![]() customer review: Very stylish. it is the perfect size, because one bottle of wine comes to the halfway mark, which is the wide point of the decanter. | Crystal Cut Italian Glass Whiskey Decanter Set 5 Piecesby Home Essentials This elegant Italian decanter set is made of beautiful crystal-cut glass and includes a stopper with an-tight seal.

Made in Italy Hand wash recommended Measurements: Decanter with stopper -- 9.5" tall x 3.75" x 3.75", with a 30 ounce capacity Whiskey glasses -- 4" tall x 3.4" diameter, with an 8 ounce capacity Origin Italy | Metrokane Flip Top Cocktail Shakerby Metrokane (4700) ![]() customer review: I bought this as a gift for my husband who loves to make martinis and other mixed drinks -he is not really a "gadget" guy but finds this to be easy to use and the fact that it is insulated means that the contents stay nice and cold without "sweating". | Fred Todo Tattoosby Fred (TODO) customer review: This item was purchased as a gift for a friend who is forever and always writing herself notes and reminders on her hand. It was more a fun gift rather than a practical one, but I haven't heard yet how well they work. If you're looking for a practical reminder system, you're probably better off with a mini digital recorder or a note pad in your purse. If you're looking for a fun gag gift that someone can actually *use* though, this is sure to be a hit. | Cell Phone Stainless Steel 4oz Flask W/ Caseby Home Bar Source ![]() customer review: this is an alright gift to give. when i first got it (i ordered 3 to give as gifts), i was not too impressed. it looked a little cheap (because it was). additionally, one of the cases were not in good condition. there was a 2 1/2 inch scuff mark right in the front of the case! was not too pleased, but okay, for what it is worth. | Swissmar Hand-Held Muddler #00311by Swissmar (OO311) ![]() customer review: I like the fact that it's made of metal - it's strong & very easy to clean. It does a great job of muddling. | Metrokane Bullet Cocktail Shakerby Metrokane (4500) ![]() $24.95 customer review: This is a great-sized shaker that can make multiple drinks at once (even multiple doubles). Requires very little ice to make liquids cold quickly. Hasn't had any leaks or anything. Very pleased. | The Wine Enthusiast Decanter Brush- Whiteby The Wine Enthusiast Trade breakage for brilliance. This handy brush cleans any size decanter. Flexes to get all those hard to reach places. Size: 14"L | Metrokane VIP Cocktail Shaker, Blackby Metrokane (7401) ![]() customer review: I've tried a variety of cocktail shakers and this is by far the best. Not only does it look elegant but it works very well. It also makes a great gift with a couple of Waterford martini glasses. | Soda Siphon Charger Cartridges - 10 Packby KegWorks.com ![]() $6.99 customer review: Until this 4th of July (2007), I'd never used a soda siphon before.
| But using these cartridges with my beautiful Lis Globe Soda Siphon was a breeze. The cartridges have nice heft and clink pleasantly in their case, like ice in a cocktail. Inserting the cartridge was easy and it bubbled up the cold water just as advertised. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Refreshign! OXO Good Grips Oil Stopper/Pourerby OXO (1151000) ![]() customer review: I have been in search of a good olive oil spout and wanted one with a lid or a way to close. This does that and like most OXO products is very sturdy. It was a bit tight to get on our olive oil bottle, but once in it's not going anywhere. It does not drip either. My only complaint is that it pours pretty slowly, which is good in some applications. I just wish there was one that would let you adjust the flow rate. Until then, this is the best that I have tried of many. | Long Bar Spoonby KegWorks ![]() $1.75 customer review: Well, it's a spoon. It's a piece of shaped metal, and it definitely does the job. I'm a Barista and I picked up a few of these to help out here and there, and they definitely have made my life easier. The red caps will crack and come right off if you abuse them, but they're just for pretty anyway. My only gripe is I found these at Bed Bath and Beyond for less than it is here, and they're usually overpriced on their items. Otherwise, it's a great product. | Set of 10 Striped Reusable Straws by Zak Designsby Zak Designs (1214-9331) ![]() $7.99 customer review: Who gets excited about straws? I do! I needed an extra-long straw for a tall water bottle that I use at work, and these straws are not only the longest ones I could find, they are also sturdy, colorful, and fun to share. Yes, I admit it, I love my new straws... :) | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
