Promising Review: Do you struggle with coating your fries with ketchup while driving with your knee?? I did for years. I often spilled ketchup all over the front of me and never got the right ketchup to fry ration. NEVER AGAIN!!
This thing changed my life. I will never road-trip again with out this miracle of modern science.
I can now dunk with one hand and drive with the other. I have probably saved countless lives.
But wait, there’s more!!!!!! The little cup pops out to accept larger dips (Chic-fil-a ranch) or for cleaning.

Promising Review: In the top five favorite gifts for my husband!
I ordered this for my husband who is very hard to buy gifts for. Because of work he spends a lot of time in his car and I thought this might be useful. He uses it almost every day and absolutely loves it.
It is easy to clean after use, simply wipe with a napkin or a wet cloth if you have one. It is sturdy enough to eat your meals off of but definitely not to lean on. It may not fit if your Steering wheel is covered.
We tried it in his Ford mustang and my Subaru crosstrek and it fit nicely in both. I’ve already ordered one for myself!

Promising Review: I usually love Full Windsor products so I wanted to see what these where about. They are absolutely gorgeous utensils. My son has claimed the black set for himself and can't stop talking about how beautiful and light and quality these are. I thought he was being a bit silly, but when I was eating ice cream with my teal blue set, I was actually distracted by the changing effect of the surface. This is one of those times you really realize you bought an art piece. Blue is not just blue, it's mesmerizing. Anyways, I don't mean to keep going on, it's rare that I'm as happy with something so simple, but just wanted to share.

Promising Review:
… This infuser is a perfect combination of simplicity, design and function. I only wish that heat tempered glass was used rather then plastic. Loose leaf tea purist may sneer (I will still use Yixing pots for Puer tea), but this contraption makes perfectly brewed green and white tea with much less fuss & muss and is great for everyday use; Along with a thermos for hot water, I am looking forward to using this for travel.
In short, I highly recommend this as a great new gadget for loose tea aficionados.
