Housewares and kitchen appliances make terrific gifts, some of which are great time savers. Here's my top picks of houseware and appliance gift products under $40 that are sure to please.
2. Hot Cottage Collectibles by C. Dianne Zweig
A delightful read and good identification guide for vintage collectibles. It includes values and historical information, and contains over 300 pages of glossy color photos.
There's also information on how to display collectibles and create a cottage style.
3. Egg & Muffin Toaster by Back to Basics
The Egg & Muffin Toaster is a great appliance for making that quick egg and muffin sandwich before running out the door. Functions can be used independently and toaster can poach an egg, or boil 4 eggs while the bread/muffin are toasting. It's a fun appliance to use and a practical gift for a single person or student.
5. Play & Freeze Mega Quart-Size Ice Cream Maker
This Play & Freeze Ice Cream Ball is a larger model than the original. It's a whole new way to make ice cream and add fun to your next family gathering. Add ingredients to the ball, and shake and roll it for a few minutes - and you have about a pint of soft serve ice cream. A real fun product to get all the family giggling.
