These products, with proper care will last a really long time. 

I received 5 items to try out, Cookie Cutters,Wine Charms, Flex Pot Clips, Zest Grater and a universal Dripless Spout. 

I loved them all, but the Flex Pot Clip was definitely my favorite. I didn't know they existed, now I can't live without it. I usually use a small plate or spoon holder, but that causes more dishes! I love just place my cooking utensil in the pot clip. 

The cookie cutters are so cute and perfect for the holidays. Not only are they great for cookies but they work great with fruit too. Fruit baskets make great gifts, but they are so pricey, why not make your own.

The Zest Grater is must have in the kitchen. Citrus zest really brings out flavor in soups, dressings, desserts and so much more. It adds a fresh taste and color to your food. It is also great for garnish.

The wine charms are great for entertaining during the holidays. They look great on the wine glasses, and add a sophisticated touch. They are great conversation starters. This one is perfect for the wine lovers on your list.

The Universal Dripless Spout is great for cooking. It makes holiday cooking easy, I used mine with my olive oil. These are also great for dish soap bottles. The spout makes it easier to dispense just about anything in a bottle.

Zoku

Iced Coffee Maker 

I love this Iced Coffee Cup by Zoku. Going out for coffee is so expensive and the plastic and paper cups are so bad for the environment. So I was pretty excited to try out this Iced CoffeeMaker. It is so easy to use, clean, and reuse. It take 8 hours to freeze the mug, and 7-8 minutes to turn your coffee from steaming hot to ice cold. It cools down your drink without water it down with ice. It works with any brewing system. It also fits in most cup holders.

Turn hot coffee, cocoa, or tea into a delicious chilled beverage in as little as five minutes. With This Iced Coffee Cup by Zoku, you don’t have to deal with ice diluting your favorite flavor, just store your stainless steel mug in your freezer, add it to the insulating sleeve, pour your beverage in, and snap the lid on tight. This travel mug is spill resistant and includes a sipping straw that makes it ideal for drinking on the go. This would make a great gift. You can purchase this cup and check out other amazing products by Zoku here.

Deluxe Cook

V-Blade Professional Vegetable Slicer

I love this Deluxe Cook V-Blade Vegetable Slicer. My old mandoline was about ready for the trash, so I was excited when I received this.  The blades on this are very sharp and cut through veggies and fruit. It is lightweight but sturdy. It is very durable and the silicone handle and feet keep the slicer in place and keep it from slipping and sliding when cutting. As I previously stated the blade are very sharp, so it is important when using a kitchen tool like this, that you have a quality product that ensures safety and the silicone helps ensure that you won't cut yourself. The hand guard that is include also helps ensure safety.

What I love most about this deluxe set is that it includes different blades allowing you to cut 2 sizes of slice thickness and 2 sizes of julienne thickness. You can make anything from shredded carrots to fries, cucumber slices to kiwi slices. I love using this for making fruit salads, veggie salad, fries, potato salad etc It also saves a lot of prep time, i'm able to easily slice through fruits and veggies quickly, or it allows me to do something else while my hubby slices them. The set includes a insert holder to store the inserts in.

It is very easy to use. You just select the blade and thickness you need and insert it into the mandoline. There is a button on the back you just press to release the insert and change to a different blade. You start slicing your food and when its down to about a third, then you insert the food you're slicing into the hand guard and start slicing. This set is dishwasher safe, but I prefer to wash it by hand and dry after use. This product is only for fruit and vegetables.

Brieftons

QuickPull Food Chopper 

I just received my Brieftons QuickPull Food Chopper and I love it. It is so easy to use. I love making my own salsa and this food chopper is perfect for it. If you want bigger chunks only pull it a few times, the more you pull the finer the pieces are. I love this for onions as well, NO more tears! The blades are really sharp and easily cut veggies, fruit, nuts, eggs etc.

This food chopper is great for making so many things! It also saves you a lot of prep time. You can make pesto, egg salad, coleslaw, salsa. Its great for chopping up up garlic, fresh herbs. You can checkout this video to see it action, by clicking here!

To use you just place the chopper on counter on table, open the lid and put it the food. Food should be chopped into golfball size chunks, harder foods a little smaller if necessary. The food should be placed around the blades. Put the lid back on and lock in place. Then you simply hold the food chopper down with one hand and pull the rip cord with the other. If there is resistance from harder food like carrots, just start with small pulls. One complete pull of the cord will chop food 16 times, you should check the food every 2 pulls until you reach your desired consistency.

The bowl has a 3 cup capacity and is BPA free, food safe plastic. The bottom piece is dishwasher, the lid however can't be submerged in water, you just use a damp cloth with a little soap to remove any food.
