A Few of My Favorite Things
Those who know us know that we love and use most of the products we sell. But there are certainly some standouts that qualify for a "few of our favorite things". These would make great gifts for most anyone, any age!
Under $50
Definitely two of my favorite things:
Adagio IngenuiTEA and the Kozi Neck Wrap
Adagio IngenuiTEA tea brewer and strainer 16 oz or 32 oz The most convenient "teapot" you will find on the market. Just place your loose tea in the IngenuiTEA and cover with hot water. When the tea is ready, simply place it atop your cup causing a valve at the bottom to release perfectly brewed strained tea into your cup.
Made with certified BPA-free food grade polycarbonate. Comes in two convenient sizes. Pair it with some of our great Adagio teas for a really great gift under $20.
Kozi Neck and Shoulder Wrap or the Long Back Vest Wrap
The Kozi wraps use a combination of herbal essence, temperature and pressure to the specific zone in the body to stimulate the flow of natural healing energy - restoring the perfect balanced state of relaxation and stress relief. A blend of 12 aromatic herbs are used to soothe and relax tired sore muscles. Just warm the Kozi in the microware for a 1-3 minutes on high to desired temperature then enjoy the warmth and stress relief provided by the Kozi. The Kozi may also be used for cold therapy. My elderly mother, who could never seem to get warm, loved the Kozi I gave her!
As part of my morning quiet time - while my tea is steeping in my IngenuiTEA my Kozi is heating in the microwave. Once heated, I wrap my Kozi around my shoulders, strain my tea right into my favorite mug, sweeten with a little raw honey and enjoy my time with the Lord.
Sweet and Easy Snack Machine (aka - popcorn maker) - stainless steel
Durable stainless steel construction by Wabash Family Farms, the Sweet and Easy Snack Machine allows you to pop perfect popcorn every time in less the 2 minutes. The Sweet and Easy uses the same design as the Whirly Pop only the Sweet and Easy is made of stainless steel. A free recipe booklet comes with the Sweet and Easy giving you an endless combination of sweet and savory treats such as kettle corn, spiced nuts, chocolate peanut clusters and more. These are for sure a "few of our favorite things"!
Capresso On The Go Stainless Steel Personal Coffee Maker
Brew a perfect cup of coffee for the person on the go. The Capresso Personal Coffee Maker is stainless steel with black accents and comes with a stainless steel 16 ounce travel mug. It quickly heats the water to 200 degrees and has a large shower head sprayer for even coffee staturation, dispensing directly into travel mug. No more expensive individual brew cups required - just use your own favorite freshly ground beans.
Stovetop Cameron Smoker - one of my all time favorite things
The Cameron Original Stovetop Smoker allows you to smoke foods of all types (meat, fish, cheese, nuts, vegetables) right on your own stovetop - or grill, oven or even campfire! Large items like turkeys can be smoked as well by simply making a foil tent to cover the item when you cook it, instead of the lid. Using real wood chips, not chemicals, is a healthy way to infuse food with real smoke flavors. The smoker is 11x15 inches in size and includes two sample wood chip flavors as well as a recipe and instruction booklet. We carry a variety of other wood chip flavors.
Under $100
Doubling as a cool mist humidifier and night lamp, the Humio is the perfect solution to adding moisture to dry or heated air while adding ambiance and décor to any room in your house. The Humio provides up to 10 hours of operation per half gallon tank of distilled water. Your favorite essential oil may be added directly to the water, allowing you to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of essential oils as they are diffused into your room with the cool mist. The Humio is beautiful as well as practical and will add style to any room décor.
Capresso H2O Pro Water Kettle
I first discovered the convenience of water kettles while in Latvia during the adoption of our sons. I discovered that every European kitchen has an electric water kettle. They are faster (heating water twice as fast), safer and more energy efficient than any stovetop kettle. An added advantage of the Capresso H2O Kettle is the precise digital temperature control and the stainless steel design. Different teas require different water brewing temperatures. The 11 temperature settings from 110-212 degrees allows you to heat the water to the specific temperature for your needs. Stovetop kettles can only boil, which is 212 degrees. I have recently discovered that 130 degrees is the perfect starting temperature for my water when making bread. The difference in the gluten development and dough texture if very noticeable.
Add a few bags of our great Adagio Teas for the herbal tea lover in your life.
Capresso Iced Tea MakerThe new Capresso Iced Tea Maker lets you custom brew a refreshing pitcher of iced tea at the touch of a button in about 15 minutes. Just add your favorite loose tea or tea bags (herbal or black or green) to the reusable filter. Fill the water tank to the fill line. Fill the glass pitcher with ice to the ice level marking prior to brewing. You can also add your sweetener of choice as well as fresh or frozen fruit to the pitcher before or after brewing. Press the start button and in about 15 minutes or less you will have a refreshing pitcher of ice cold tea. Serve directly from the beautiful 2.5 quart glass pitcher that can also be stored in the refrigerator.

The Bread Cloche - by Emile Henry
The Bread Cloche will change the way you bake bread. You can have a beautiful artisan loaf on the table start to finish in 1 hour. The ceramic Bread Cloche with its bell shaped lid allows you to proof and bake your bread all at the same time. The lid traps steam from the baking bread to create an environment similar to a steam injected oven. The steam gives the bread a crunchy, chewy crust. The Emile Henry Bread Cloche will hold one Basic Bread Recipe from our Recipe Collection. You can watch a demonstration on our website. The Bread Cloche is made of all natural material and is backed by a 10 year warranty. Made in the Burgundy town of Marcigny, France.

Great Stocking Stuffers
Our new line of all natural soaps by The Soap Works.
We are now carrying the full line of Soap Works products - bar soaps, laundry detergent, Emu Oil and Pure Glycerine. The Soap Works was started by two men, Bob and Mike, in 1985, because the colors and scents contained in mass-produced soaps irritated their skin. They began by producing a glycerine soap, made the old fashion way with all natural ingredients. It was such a success that they have gone on to produce a full line of reasonably priced soap products using various ingredients of the highest quality, giving each of the soaps distinct healing benefits for all skin sensitivities and issues. None of their soaps contain lauryl sulfates.
Come in and check out our new display with all the healing benefits clearly listed for each soap.
The Emu Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Creamy Clay Bars are just a few of my favorites!
