PureWine Wand Filter
One of the biggest complaints about wine is the headache that you get. Worry no longer, as the PureWine Wand Filter is here to help. Simply pour a glass of wine, stir it with TheWand wine purifier for 3 minutes, and enjoy. TheWand filters out things like sulfites and histamines without affecting the color or taste of the wine. It works on both red and white wines, too.
BlendJet 2
Smoothies and shakes are all the rage right now. Pretty much everyone is drinking them at some point during their day. That’s where BlendJet2 comes in. This portable, personal sized blender is perfect for taking with you on the go. It’s powerful enough to do the job of a big blender but in a compact size. The Blendjet also works wonders on salad dressings, baby food, sauces, and even mixed drinks.
Cotton Candy Express Cotton Candy Machine
Cotton candy, or candy floss, is a must have any time we go to the fair or a festival. The light, fluffy cloud of spun sugar just hits right. Plus, it’s kind of fun to watch them make it.
Now, you can make cotton candy at home, and it’s fun and easy with the Cotton Candy Express Cotton Candy Machine. It’s a really fun way to spend an afternoon with the kids – whether they’re young or *ahem* older.
The cotton candy machine itself is easy to use, and even better, easy to clean. It also folds compactly for storage. The shield comes off and nests with the base of the machine to save space.
If you choose the Cotton Candy Floss package, it comes with everything you need to get started with your cotton candy adventure. That’s right! You get the cotton candy machine, three flavors of floss sugar, and 50 paper cotton candy cones. You can choose from 4 separate flavor assortments, and there’s all kinds of choices from the traditional cherry and blue raspberry to chocolate, pina colada, and even maple. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any of these flavors of cotton candy out in the wild before.
Whether you call it fairy floss, cotton candy, or candy floss, you can’t go wrong with this machine.

They manage the production process from the grower to consumer, and will help you choose the best selection for your gift. Olive Oil Lovers is available in sets and individual bottles. If you can’t choose just one, you can even get and Olive Oil of the Month.
