I have started a weight-loss challenge with some friends and my husband, it is mostly couples. At the beginning of the year I gave up all sugared drinks, pop and all! I was a huge pop drinker one or two 20 oz bottles of Pepsi or Mt Dew a day!! Ya horrible I know, but doing so much better now! Thanks to a great friend, I have started drinking more tea, Green Tea Mint happens to be one of my favorite. I would love to be able to just order it in bulk but I had nothing to make it in. Lets face it, those little tea bags that I buy at Walmart are really convenient.

I found this IngenuiTEA Ingenious Teapot in 16 oz size online and I want it!  The website states that Adagio IngenuiTEA Teapot is the most convenient teapot you will find anywhere - they guarantee it. When tea is ready, simply place it atop your cup. This will cause a valve at the bottom to release: crystal-clear tea flows down, while the mesh filter retains all the leaves with one of the best infusers on the market. Super easy to clean and dishwasher safe. You will wonder how you got along without one. 16oz. Made in Taiwan with Tritan, a plastic specially-formulated to be safe in hot-temperature applications and is 100% BPA-free. I will have to place my order for one as well as one for my mom, she loves tea as well!!

I know for some of you these aren’t the gift you would want to have. I would buy these Salt and Pepper Bowls for my aunt, who loves these sort of gifts.  These bowls will make the perfect birthday gift for the kitchen or cook lover. My aunt loves to cook, and very rarely buys boxed food. She loves to cook from scratch, so these will be perfect in her kitchen. These would also make a great addition to anyone’s bowl collection to keep on display.

The Salt and Pepper Bowls are a beautiful creamy vanilla color clay, with the inside glazed with a shiny plum glaze.  The words Salt and Pepper have been beautifully hand stamped. These bowls make great gifts for house warming presents or for the chef in the family. Each bowl  is approximately 1.5″ tall x 3″ wide and holds about 2 oz. You can now measure out and cook like Martha Stuart or Rachel Ray.
