STOVE TOP ESPRESSO MAKER

First to recommend

Description

Great espresso at home will cost you. But why spend money on complicated machines when you can have this stove top espresso maker?

Just pour fresh water in the water compartment up to the line, insert the filter, fill it with coffee, and place it on the stove. When the water boils, the steam will create the perfect amount of pressure to force the coffee beans to the upper container. There is even a safety valve in case the pressure does happen to get too high. There are 2 versions of this espresso maker to choose from, one that will make 3 cups or 6 cups. And best of all they are reasonably priced!

A great solution for the coffee connoisseur!

Huggable Light Pillow

First to recommend

8 people recommended this item

Description

A glowing pillow. Now you can curl up with that book at night :)

Here is how it works, taken from www.charlesandmarie.com :

"...filled with 'silicone bean bags' that contain high intensity LED lights.
These LED lights in the silicone beads make the entire pillow glow in an extremely calming and soothing way. Powered by 4 AA batteries – or if you prefer to hook it up to the adaptor, that's possible as well – the pillow glows strongly for about 4 hours and then the lights ever so softly fade over the next couple hours."

This would be a perfect gift for that bookworm in your family. I know I want one.

emotibuds - futuronomie

20 people recommended this item

Description

So now that I have the Iphone, I need more ways to make it even more fun. Check out Emotibuds, little charms that you put on the ear buds (work for any Apple ear buds). At only 4 dollars each, you can afford to buy a bunch and pick them to match your mood. I like the "bad", "zippy", and "tickled" ones myself. A great gift for any apple fan, or to go with any i pod gifts.

Vacu Vin Wine Saver

Description

My sister uses this product and swears by it. Allows you to reseal the bottle after opening, ensuring that you can still keep the wine for up to a week later. Great if you don't want to waste what is left in the bottle...
