Top 5 Christmas Gifts
1) Anatomy Coaster Set, Bar
Pick a libation and learn a little something. This drink coaster set highlights fun facts and interesting info about whiskey, wine, and beer, and celebrates each one with charming illustrations. Cheers to that.
2) DIY Cupcake Baking Kit
This DIY Cupcake Making Kit provides all the pre-measured ingredients and a detailed recipe card so you can make gourmet cupcakes at home, just add butter, eggs, and buttermilk. The kit is hand-packed from start to finish by the Red Velvet team in Brooklyn, NY. This is the easiest way to bake at home, and a memorable activity for the whole family.
3) Ceramic Rice Cooker
This ceramic rice cooker makes a delicious pot of rice every time. Cordless and compact, it boils on the stove for a few minutes and retains heat as it simmers and sits. Its lid ensures water won’t boil over, while condensation drips down to prevent freshly cooked rice from drying out.
4) Large Cuckoo Clock
FunDeco: Large Cuckoo Clock - Gray
5) Slow Wine Pourer
A slow wine pourer is the best way to serve delicate and older wines. The Vacu Vin tool pours wine from the bottom of the bottle straight to the bottom of your glass slowly. This means there is minimal exposure to oxygen, which can zap freshness and affect taste. This slower method gives an aged bottle of cabernet sauvignon or Bordeaux the special treatment it deserves.
