Promising review: "My granddaughter this morning used the sandwich cutters this morning. We had fun making her lunch for school. I wish I had these when her mother and uncles were kids. I would cut their sandwiches in different shapes with a paring knife. The cutters are a lot easier!" —Carolyn M.

Promising review: "Love these! Got two of them as a birthday gift for my husband because he takes his lunch nearly every day and they're great. He uses it mostly for bbq sauce or ketchup or mustard. Easy to clean by hand (I know because I'm the one who does that!), easy to use, and they fit nicely in a lunchbox with everything else." —Meg

Promising review: "This honey has a nice kick. Be sure to put it ON something before you try it for the first time. I sampled it straight from a spoon and thought it was way too spicy, but when I put it on cornbread it was just fine!" —L. Swanson

Promising review: "These have worked great for hard boiled eggs. Peel the eggs while hot/warm, and gently place into one half of the mold. Carefully close the lid or place the top half of the mold onto it. Tap, or gently apply force while closing to jog the egg into position. You'll want to pay attention to the size of the egg. Large or extra large work fine for most molds. You might need a jumbo for the car or bear, though. Align the egg sensibly with the mold and it should all work out fine. Drop the mold containing the egg into an ice water bath for a while and the shape will set and you'll have a fun shaped hard-boiled egg for your kiddos." —Porter Woodward

Promising review: "Made sushi for the first time last night and it was awesome!!! This thing is so easy!! I was able to make rolls with rice on the outside with no problem, just added a little water to the roll mat and voila! I purchased eel sauce, made spicy mayo, and put them in squirt bottles to give the platter that restaurant look. I also added black sesame seeds to the outside of one and a very inexpensive black caviar to another. My guests and husband were all amazed!" —Beach Mom

Promising review: "I've gotten many compliments on this bag from co-workers who require clear bags at their business. Great quality and fits plenty of items inside. It was flat and stiff when I first bought it, but after leaving it in the car for a bit to get warm, helped me to get it into the correct shape. There is a strong plastic smell that goes away by the next day when you open it up and air it out. Really like this lunch bag. Great bargain!" —Troika Cheu
