A Short gifts Summary
VillaWare V5555-15 Pooh and Tigger Waffler Waffle Maker


VillaWare V5555-15

Pooh N' Tigger Waffler Waffle Maker

Manufacturer: VillaWare
Model #: V5555-15
Condition: Brand New In Retail Box
Warranty: 1-Year Warranty
List Price: $49.99

Waffles from this Winnie-the-Pooh waffle iron may be just the thing to entice your busy toddler to sit down to breakfast. The grids on this two-square waffler have fun pictures in the center that imprint Pooh's face on one side of the waffle and Tigger's face on the other. The waffler starts to heat up as soon as it's plugged in and takes about 5 to 8 minutes to reach the proper baking temperature. An indicator light in the shape of a bee turns red during preheating and during baking and turns off when waffles are done. The grids are coated with a nonstick silicone surface, which makes cleanup easier but requires that you remove waffles with non-metallic utensils to preserve the coating. The waffler's handle and back are covered in durable plastic that remains cool to the touch during baking. However, the exterior chrome panel on the top of the waffler (embossed with pictures of Pooh and Tigger) gets very hot so make sure to keep it out of reach of little hands. The Winnie-the-Pooh waffler stands on one end for more compact storage and is covered by VillaWare under a one-year warranty.

Features:

  • Double-square waffler imprints pictures of Pooh and Tigger on each waffle
  • Automatic thermostat control with indicator light
  • Silicone nonstick coating on grids for easy cleanup
  • Cool-touch handles with chrome housing
  • Stands on end for compact storage; one-year warranty
  • 120V

Sesame Street: The Adventures of Elmo In Grouchland


Sesame Street's 25th Birthday

A Musical Celebration!

Manufacturer: Sesame Street
Model #: 074645131993
Condition: Brand New & Sealed
List Price: $29.99

Yes, Virginia, there was a Sesame Street before the Age of Elmo. This 1993 collection highlights the role of music in the long-running series from Children's Television Workshop, and reminds us that such Jim Henson creations as Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch, Cookie Monster, and Ernie and Bert were once part of a true ensemble of Muppet superstars. Nothing against Elmo, of course: kids adore him and he makes enough appearances in this anthology (including the show-stopping "Happy Tappin' with Elmo") to keep today's tykes happy. Also included is Ernie's classic "Rubber Duckie" (really, who doesn't know the words to that?), Oscar's anthemic "I Love Trash," you-know-who's "C Is for Cookie," and Big Bird's Big Finale, a rendition of "Sing" that includes the entire cast. There are 27 tunes in all, and they don't all involve singing puppets: Ladysmith Black Mambazo turns up for one track, and the "Sesame Street Jam Session" includes some actual playing of instruments.

Selecting the Right Chiminea for Your Garden or Patio



In the past few years, chimineas (also spelled "chimeneas") have become one of the most popular decorations for outdoor living spaces. These self-contained outdoor fireplaces are affordable, portable, and best of all, highly attractive. If you are interested in buying a chiminea for your own backyard or patio, one of the first decisions you will need to make is the material that suits your needs.


Clay Chimineas

The traditional chimenea, which has been used for warmth and cooking in Mexico for centuries, is made from clay. Today, terracotta or El Barro clay is used to carry on this classic look. If you are looking for a Southwestern accent for your outdoor living space, a clay chimenea is an excellent choice.


Clay chimineas also have the advantage that their outside surfaces do not become as hot to the touch as their metal counterparts. This can reduce the chance of an accident ending in serious injury. However, clay outdoor fireplaces are more prone to breakage if they are handled improperly, and they are vulnerable to frost.


Cast Iron Chimineas

Cast iron chimineas are an attractive alternative to traditional clay fireplaces. Highly Available in a range of designs and colors, cast iron fireplaces add a lovely touch to your garden or back yard.


Heavy and durable, these chimeneas are not prone to cracks and breakage and less likely to tip over. They are intended for use all year long. However, the surface of a cast iron chimenea can become searing hot to the touch, and care must be taken that they do not rust when wet.


Cast Aluminum Chimineas

A cast aluminum chiminea that is both long-lasting and great-looking. At first glance, it is hard to tell the difference between heavy-duty cast aluminum and iron; both come in a wide variety of styles and designs to fit any decorator's tastes.


Aluminum is not as heavy as cast iron, which means that it is easier to knock over accidentally. However, the lighter weight also means that it is easier to transport. Furthermore, aluminum chimineas are not vulnerable to rust or to breakage from frost, as their cast iron and clay counterparts are.


No matter what your decision about materials is, a chimenea is a great way to add personality, warmth, and fun to your garden or back yard.
