This factory is located in the Guangdong region of mainland China. The father is the main person in charge and employs many family members. Day to day operations are run by an aunt while the son is being groomed to take over once his father retires - all of this family greatly adds to the quality and productivity of this factory. Over 300 skilled and non-skilled craftsman work together, passing knowledge and craftsmanship from generation to generation. The working conditions of this group are excellent. The factory provides an excellent lunch each day for the staff. Attending strictly to the local and international anti-dumping and fair trade practice laws, Oriental Homes is proud to bring a piece of their culture into your home.

Ant Works

17 people recommended this item

Description

Fascinating creatures ants. Sure you hate to see them in your socks or making a B-line for that pizza crust crumb you forgot to sweep up at the local LAN party. But let's give credit where credit is due. Ants are amazing. Ants can lift up to 20x their body weight! They have two stomachs and three eyes! They also have uncanny communication skills and amazing abilities to work together to achieve a common goal.

This miraculous gel, derived from a NASA Space experiment, serves as both habitat and nutrition for your ants

* Easy to care for - Ants need NO food or water.
* AntWorks Includes:
o Case and gel
o Magnifying glass
o Four blue LEDs embedded in base (with A/C adaptor)
o Ant catching/tunnel starting tool
o Instruction booklet with interesting facts about ants.
o ANTS ARE NOT INCLUDED! However, there is a form included where you can order some ants for delivery via mail. But why bother? Just set out some potato chips in the kitchen and voila! Instant ant colony!

Okay what's not to like about this? It's green, it's classy, and it's small enough to tote around with you as you rub your green hipness in everyone's face.

A three-inch section burns for approximately an hour, while the smart design ensures a better use of wax than traditional shapes. The copper-finish plate and clip bring a warm touch to your home.

Evo Grill

2 people recommended this item

Description

I own this grill and couldn't be happier. I purchased it from FrontGate on clearance, but now that I have it I would clearly pay full price. At first I was skeptical about having a grill with a flat top, but it is much healthier and taste better than that propane/NG taste on your food. It also gives you a ton of flexibility in cooking. We cook eggs, pancakes, noodles Mongolian grill style, etc... It is really easy to clean up and the round shape makes it fit nicely in a corner on the deck and makes it flexible enough that you can have multiple people cooking at the same time....

This grill is all stainless steel, so even though mine stays outside in the snow and rain (and it snows and rains a lot here) it has no rust and I'm sure I'll have 10's of years from now.

Even though it costs more this thing is commercial quality and will be around years and years beyond the traditional grill.
