In My Own Words:
I appreciate Amazon because it provides our family more time to spend together.

I've purchased everything from A-to-Z (Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler and the Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless-Steel lined Lunch Jar) and items as large as a refrigerator and as small as pack of gum.

I subscribe to Amazon Prime and use Amazon's Subscribe & Save. I recommend both to get the most out of your shopping e… Read more

Westcott Titanium Bonded Non Stick Scissors, 8" St&hellip by Westcott

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Westcott's non-stick coating on Titanium blades is a welcome feature for scissors; especially handy if you need to cut through a wide range of craft supplies, including materials that are already taped or glued. I tested this pair against packing tape, duct tape and Scotch tape. The non-stick coating makes a big difference.

My wife is a pre-school teacher, so it seems like every night she's cutting paper, cloth and card stock for the next day's classroom activities. When we first married we owned one pair of scissors. Two children and a teaching job later, we have more pairs of scissors around the house than cordless phones and remotes combined. The good ones are placed in a… Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I knew something was wrong when I picked up the box. It is flimsy with a plasticky feel that screams "Dollar Store" instead of "First Aid" - suitable to pack along for a soccer game or a day in the park, but lacking the heft you'd expect paramedics John Gage and Roy DeSoto to bring to a real Emergency.

Once you get past the marketing pitch (contains over 131 pieces) you find 50 alcohol prep pads and 50 bandages; 10 each of latex gloves and gauze pads; two packets each of antibiotics and burn cream; and one each of the following: tape, tweezers, scissors, and cold pack.

Surprise. The kit is made in China.

The list price is [choke, choke] more than $50 with a… Read more
Lipper International Small Bamboo Bowls, Set of 4 by Lipper International
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
Our previous set of bamboo bowls finally wore out after many good years of use. This Lipper set of bamboo salad bowls are larger, lighter and more attractive than our old set.

Durability depends on how well you adhere to the cleaning rules:

No dishwashers! Hand wash with mild soap.

No berries, cherries, pomegranate seeds or Kool-Aid colors! These bowls stain easily but you can lemon juice to clean it up.

Store in a cool dry place! Don't leave these out in the sun or filled with water in the bottom of the sink. The bamboo will react to severe conditions.

The Lipper set of four small, honey-colored bowls are seven inches in diameter and… Read more
