Stumped on what to get your travel or foodie friend for the holidays? Here are some of the very reasonably price items that caught my eye.
Gift Guide for the traveler:
Terrific new makeup travel bag!
Ladies, you will LOVE the KUSSHI bag! Previously my makeup bags have always had a couple zippers where I just throw everything inside. this KUSSHI bag has a foldable compartment that separates all your brushes! I put my eyebrow pencil, brush, blush brush, and makeup brush. The bag has zippers on three sides and pockets, all for function, durability and style. KUSSHI’s brand takes its name from a type of oyster known for its smooth, gemlike shell, an inspiration for the design of the original bag. KUSSHI also means “happiness” in Hindu and “protected” in Japanese. $79.
Have you ever heard of Mobile Edge? They make some very cool travel bags! I really like the new Special Edition Metro Tote which can function as a hand bag / carry on. Its lightweight and easy to carry. The large, main compartment features a top zipper closure and and interior that includes separate padded pockets for a laptop and tablet. It makes it easy to get these in and out when you are passing through airport security and quickly pace them back in and be on the go again! Additionally, there is an internal, integrated accessory organizer with storage for pens, a smartphone, flash drives, and other accessories, plus a handy key fob holder. I love how everything is so organized. A zippered exterior pocket provides secure storage and quick access for a phone or other items. $89.99

By using downward pressure and a ‘rocking’ motion, this tool breaks up garlic cloves quickly and
easily, forcing the pieces up through the mesh of holes in its base.
The crushed pieces are then held in the curved design, allowing them to be spooned or scraped
conveniently into a pan or bowl.
Additional cloves can also be crushed at this stage before emptying.
Rocker™ is easy to clean under running water but is also dishwasher safe.

wet ingredients such as pudding, batters, sauces and even stiff dough. Just slip the custom designed

What is GarlicCone? GarlicCone is a new kitchen utensil that makes peeling garlic quick and easy. The new GarlicCone is the result of a quest to make garlic peeling as quick and easy.
