The other day, when I was out shopping, almost every store I went in, had Christmas Trees, Wreaths, and Lights on display and for sale. There is no denying, despite the unseasonably warm weather we are having here in NY, that the holiday season is coming upon us fast. Many of you have started your shopping, and I have a great place to tell you about for unique and creative gifts for the people on your list. I was recently asked by uncommongoods.com to do a review of their site. They generously provided me with a gift code, and after looking a long time at their great inventory, I saw the Zoku Quick Pop Maker and ordered that. I am a huge VitaMixer and I thought this would be great to make healthy and delicious pops for my family. I put frozen pineapple, mango, strawberries, and raspberries in the VitaMix along with some water and a little honey and blended that all up. Then I got the Zoku Pop Mold which I had washed and stuck in the freezer for at least 24 hours. I put the sticks in (remember not to take the sticks out to reposition or for any reason or it will not work). Then I poured in the blended mixture and waited about 7 minutes. I was able just to use the tool provided to screw on the end of the pop stick and it released perfectly, even the one I had overfilled. You can then unscrew the tool and pop on a drip catcher and you are ready to enjoy. I made 6 from the same mold without refreezing and put the extra in zip lock bags in the freezer for later. The pops were delicious and healthy and my kids loved them, as did my husband and myself.
uncommongoods.com has great gifts such as cool Gifts for Teens, Teen Girl Gifts, Unique Jewelry, Decorative Accents, Kitchen Tools and much more. Their site is easy to navigate and place orders on.
