ekSel Oven, BBQ & Baking Mats, Woven Fiberglass - Set of 2

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP76f8c4f8254c5bb03ddc1e366dbb940d" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

Overall, I'm very happy with these mats. I love the quality of the material - & most of all, I love that it comes with 2 different types, or really colored, mats. Because I use 1 black mat for hamburgers or steaks, then use the other cream colored mat for chicken or something else. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars because I do think they are priced just a bit high considering it only comes with 2 mats - but with that said, they are really good quality, they are a great size that fits my grill perfectly (shown in my photos), they are easy to clean & can be re-used up to like 100 times. They come rolled up packaged in a box, which I usually prefer grilling mats to come packaged flat so they are shaped nicely right out of the package- but these actually came out of the package and were still very flat after unrolling them - so I was happy about that. Overall, I'm very happy with these grill mats. I received this grill mats at a highly discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.

Pink Twirly Roundlettes - Strawberry Flavored Sphere Striped Candy Balls - 1 Pound (Approx. 150 Count) - Hard Candy

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOPdd9555daef20f1c3281aad051f1c5da7" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I let my daughter try 1 first so she could be my Guinea pig, because I admit after reading the reviews I was a little skeptical, but when she said they tasted really good I tried 1 myself - and they DO taste good! I know they said strawberry flavor but by the look of their photo I just guess I somewhat expected for them to have a minty strawberry flavor - but they are not minty at all, they are just a sweet strawberry flavor, and I actually think they are delicious! I got these to put in a candy dish as decorations so the kids could add them to their goodie bags at my daughters birthday party - and I think they will be perfect for that. Especially since my daughter enjoyed the taste, I'm pretty sure her friends will as well. I think they were perfectly strawberry flavored and perfectly sweet. I also think the size is perfect, I definitely wouldn't want them any bigger or even really any smaller, so the size is just right. I'm very happy with these, glad I got them for my daughters party - the kids will enjoy these as much as we do. I received these free in exchange for my honest review - which has absolutely no affect on my opinion of the candy, we truly enjoy the flavor.

Car Trunk Organizer by Starling's - Cargo Trunk Storage Container Best for SUV, Vehicles, Trucks, Auto, Home and Garage Heavy Duty Construction Come With Car Windshield Sun Shade and LIFETIME WARRANTY

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP741b7126f7bcdf7eef4c6271d8cf642e" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I gave this car trunk organizer 5 stars in Amazon, but it is definitely worth more than 5 stars. The quality of it really is top-notch. I love how the sides of each compartment are strong and sturdy so I'm able to put larger, heavier grocery items in it and the organizer is strong enough to hold them in place. I also love that it has an extra piece that I can Velcro in the middle of 1 side to make 2 compartments. Not only have I used this for my grocery items, but I've even opened it only halfway & put it in my front seat floorboard, and transported a vase that was half filled with water and carried a bundle of flowers - I had no problems at all with the vase ever tipping over causing spillage. This organizer is definitely useful and is the best organizer I've used - I actually have another different organizer which I also really like, but his organizer is definitely the 1 I use primarily because of its versatility & sturdiness. I have to say I love the colors as well, but more importantly, the functionality really could not be better and I couldn't be happier with it, I would definitely recommend it. I received this car trunk organizer free in exchange for my honest review.

Chefast Herb Scissors Set - Premium Kitchen Shears with 5 Stainless Steel Blades - Multipurpose Herb Bags, Safety Cover with Cleaning Comb

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP6be657527b7052dedaa8c2d1f14a79d1" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

Where have these been all my life?!! Genius! These herb scissors make life so much easier when it comes to "chopping" herbs. My husband asked me 1 time how I usually chopped cilantro when he was cooking a dish that called for cilantro, I told him that I just tear the leaves off and tear them apart with my fingers, but when I do that it takes some of the flavor out of the herb because it rubs off on my fingers, and the smell remains on my fingers even after washing them. So not only do these scissors make cutting herbs easier and faster, but they also help to keep the flavor in the herbs! The photos I've included, I cut a bay leaf and it took only 3 snips to have it chopped - so easy! The herb scissors are also super easy to clean, really just give them a good rinse with soap and water - but every now & then I may have to use a tiny straw brush I have to really get in between the blades, but I haven't had to do that very often at all. I really could not be happier with these herb scissors, the quality of the scissors turned out to be much better than I was really expecting, and they really did think of everything having the blade cover that they come with to store them in which I love. I even like the little pouches that come with the scissors because I can put any excess herbs that I've cut but didn't use into the pouches which allows them to dry out too. I thought about even trying to use the scissors on celery but I didn't want to do anything to dull the blades faster, so the only other thing I use the scissors for besides herbs is stems of green onions, which they work GREAT for. I definitely recommend these herb scissors, I absolutely love mine and wish I had them all my cooking life, but I'm so glad I have them now! I received these herb scissors free in exchange for my honest review.

Wine Glass Markers - Erasable

Wine Glass Markers - Erasable - 5 Pack with Bonus - Gift Package - Premium Quality - Hostess Gift - Food Grade Ink - Dishwasher Safe - Fun Wine Accessories - Alternative to Wine Charms

I would ABSOLUTELY give these wine markers even more stars if I could - I mean impressive! I was honestly skeptical at first that the ink would wipe away as I handled the wine glass even just a little bit - but it didn't at all!!! Not even the slightest bit, but even seeing that I thought oh boy this will be fun trying to get it to clean off but I just did a quick test of slightly wetting a paper towel and it wiped the ink clean away in just the 1st swipe of the wet paper towel! I really am impressed with how well these work, and the colors are so pretty. The silver and gold are somewhat light compared to the other colors (the gold actually showed up better in my photo than I thought it would), but still shows up very clear to see it well on the glass (as shown in my photos). I am extremely happy with these markers and they will absolutely come in so handy at my family get-togethers (already have), because before having these markers people would get wine glasses mixed up after drinking wine for a little bit since people would set their glass down and then forget which glass was theirs, causing us to wash more glasses than should be necessary. These markers have already proven to help with that because even at the family get-together we had today, I didn't have to wash any extra wine glasses, everybody knew which glass was theirs because I was quick to write their name on a glass before handing it to them. But I did test them before just to make sure nobody would end up with ink on themselves, and to make sure that I wouldn't end up fighting the ink off when I went to wash the glasses - when both of those initial concerns were resolved I was excited to use them at my get-together, and I will so use these markers all the time, I absolutely love them and recommend them! I received this set of wine glass markers at a highly discounted rate in exchange for my honest review.

Ohuhu Electric Pencil Sharpener with 6-Pencil Hole Selector Dial (6,7,8,9,10,11mm)

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP96f7991680bccbe2d86d912a037cf3a9" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I absolutely love this pencil sharpener, especially that it has the selection dials because my daughter is always getting different sized fancy pencils - and I really love the suction cup feet which is better than other electric pencil sharpeners I've had. I did remove 1 star because I don't think I like having to hold the shavings tray in to activate the sharpener (at first I actually thought my sharpener was defective and just wouldn't remain fully closed- but then I realized that's what was considered the safety switch) - I think the shavings tray should remain all the way closed and only deactivate the sharpener when the tray is removed to empty it. But I guess it could be an advantage for people with small children (which I have, so this really could be beneficial in a sense), to prevent small children from sticking something in the sharpener so they can't hurt themselves or try sharpening something they shouldn't be sharpening - so I really think that feature has its upside and downside. Other than that, this really is an excellent sharpener that sharpens pencils in just a couple seconds, and it automatically stops sharpening once the pencil is perfectly sharpened - it really does work well at sharpening, and I'm so glad to have mine! I received this product free in exchange for my honest review.

Mini iPhone Fan by Smartphone-fan * Portable USB 8 Pin Fan for Apple Cell Phone, Pads, or Computers / Portable Mobile Dock Fan * Lightning, iPhone 6, 6s, 6+, 5s, 5, iPad, New iPad, iPod Touch

<a href="http://www.tomoson.com/?code=TOP1eff2d0a0352717a2e2e3cd1f7ec4702" rel="nofollow"><img style="display: none" src="http://www.tomoson.com/images/front/pixel.png" /></a>

I absolutely love this smartphone fan! I live in a very hot state, and I'm always on my phone no matter where I go- and this fan is such a convenient way to help keep a breeze on me at all times! It really works well. I do wish that it had an on/off switch so I could leave it plugged in but turn it off when I want - but it's not like it's an issue to just unplug it when I don't want to use it, so I didn't find that a reason to lower my rating at all. I also wish that I could use it while having a case on my phone - but I didn't lower my rating because of that since this was something I was aware of before ordering the fan, so I expected this to be the case so I didnt think it's fair to lower my rating over something I was already aware of, but I do think that could make it just that much better. Other than that, I absolutely love using it- and I really think that it's a must since I live in such a hot state and its probably the most convenient way of helping to keep me cool especially since I'm already looking at my phone so much, why not allow it to cool me down in the heat too while I'm looking at my phone- really is genius! I received this fan free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
