ePare’ Manual Coffee Grinder
This elegant grinder breaks down coffee beans at varying levels. Place them in the hopper and crank. The bottom gripper holds it in place. The glass bowl fits securely and unscrews without much force. It takes about 1-minute to clean. I didn’t think I needed one until I received this. I’m a fan.

Laconiko Olive Oil and Balsamic Customized Sample Gift Box
Run, don’t walk to purchase this gift box for yourself. I highly recommend getting the Lemon Cucumber White Balsamic and the Blood Orange Olive Oil. This refreshing vinegar changes lives with its light lemony zing and cucumber aftertaste. One shot will have you making a salad every day. Do yourself a favor and get more than one bottle. The oil hits the spot with its smooth citrus notes too. Ama-zing duo!
