Click and Grow Smart Garden with New Varieties

We’ve been crushing on our Click and Grow Smart Garden for over a year, and for good reason. It is the perfect way to grow herbs and flowers indoors under any conditions. You just set it up, plug it in, and use a pre-made seed pod. Add water, set the light timer. Done. That’s it. Just sit back and watch the plants grow. And grow they do. Our Basil and Mint both went a bit nuts, we couldn’t pick them fast enough.

What has placed the Click and Grow Smart Garden back on our list is that they have expanded sizes, and more importantly, have a larger variety of plants. Fragrant Rosemary is one, as is Mibuna. Also, for those who want to “experiment,” you can use an empty “Experimental” soil pod and add your own seeds of whatever herb strikes your fancy.

Benefits:

  • A wide selection of pre-seeded plant capsules with over 40 types of fresh herbs and fruits
  • Grow everything you eat pesticide-free.
  • The Smart Garden soil uses patented nano-tech growth medium that accelerates the plant growth without jeopardizing quality
  • Can be used in kitchen, living room, office or lobby

Side benefit, the built-in LED grow light might just help you knock off any of those blues from being indoors too much.

Smeg Copper and Gold Collections

Most of us who follow SMEG products don’t like Smeg, we adore SMEG! The style, design and functionality seem to take simple daily activities such as making coffee or toast to an entirely new, and more chic, level.

SMEG has recently introduced two new metallic finishes to their current well-known lineup of pastels. These finishes are gold and copper (and rose gold if you are in the UK).

These limited-edition electric SMEG kettles combine iconic midcentury style with modern features, so you can count on perfect toast or bagels every time. The stunning finish is a designer favorite, featuring chrome accents that beautifully offset the warm polished finish.

Add the scents of the season, or frankly illustrate your cheery mood during any time of the year, with this deluxe set of Winter Berry hand soap and lotion from Williams Sonoma.

Made with premium-quality botanical essential oils sourced from around the world, this seasonal Winter Berry collection reflects Williams Sonoma’s culinary roots, with an uplifting fragrance that blends into the kitchen naturally.

TheChefClub power steel knives

TheChefClub is a startup trying to redefine kitchen knives with modern design, pro-performance, low maintenance, and affordability. The design kitchen knife series is made of Powder Steel, rated excellent in sharpness and edge retention (durability) by Catra and Michelin-starred chefs. Matrix powder steel is said to have ultra hardness, high yield strength and resistance to high temperature & humidity.

Sharp, Shiny and Stylish. We love the balance of the handle versus the blade, as well as the unique quality of the metal surface, which is both light yet sturdy. Plus, when we say “sharp”, we mean SHARP. We found that cutting many foods requires almost a minimal amount of pressure for the knife to slide right through them.
