Watcharee Thai Sauces #Holiday2016

Watcharee's, a line of authentic gourmet Thai sauces, is available online for the 2016 holiday season. Watacharee's mouth-watering sauces, including Pad Thai, Peanut, Green Curry, and Massaman Curry, are an ideal gift for home cooks and Thai food fans and are available online. Handcrafted in small batches from premium ingredients imported from Thailand, the sauces bring the authentic flavors of Asia to dining room tables across the United States. The line was launched in 2014 by Thai chef Watcharee Limanon, and has fast become a best seller in specialty foods stores and through online vendors, including Amazon. For gourmands, Watcharee offers a Thai Sauces Gift Set that includes 11.75 oz jars of all four ready-to-use authentic sauces.

Watcharee's sauces are sold at Whole Foods Markets throughout their North Atlantic and Mid-Atlantic regions and at specialty food stores throughout New England. "I started bottling our sauces using traditional recipes, some of which were influenced by my mom, to bring the authentic flavors of Thailand into American homes," says Limanon. "We craft our sauces from premium imported ingredients so that Thai food lovers and busy people can make authentic, healthy, and quick Thai cuisine at home. We've been overwhelmed by the response we get from our customers, who say they not only use our sauces for traditional Thai foods or fusion dishes, but also to spice up children's meals like chicken nuggets or macaroni and cheese!"

Rich and pure but never over-powering, Watcharee's Thai peanut sauce is the spicy sidekick of satay, but also brings a tangy warmth to fresh vegetables, noodles or wraps. The classic Thai green curry sauce, which is bold yet delicate, has a sophistication all its own. Bursting with spicy sweetness and a hint of salt and lime, Watcharee's massaman curry sauce is a hearty simmer sauce that infuses meats and seafood with the best of Thai traditions. The most versatile sauce in the line, Watcharee's pad Thai sauce, blends fragrant spices, sweet shallots and tamarind, and is inspired by a recipe from traditional fishing villages east of Bangkok.

Nadkins Just For Men #Holiday2016

In the fast-growing personal hygiene market, Manager Inc.'s Nadkins, the world’s first 100% natural, non-toxic towelette specifically formulated for a man’s most sensitive area, is a product whose time has finally come. Identifying a need for hygienic personal care wipes especially formulated for male genitalia, Nadkins founder and CEO Joe Caccamo created the 'male jewels refresher towelettes' to cleanse, hydrate, soothe, and comfort all skin types with a bracing fresh feeling of clean beyond baby wipes. While baby wipes account for nearly 75% of hygienic care wipes, "baby wipes are for babies, not men," said Caccamo. "Baby wipes are paper-based, flimsy, and fall apart in your hands; Nadkins are cloth-based and significantly stronger, more generously sized, and contain ingredients that dissolve odor-causing bacteria while provide a refreshing tingle that baby wipes don’t provide," said Caccamo, Caccamo also adds that not all wipes are created equal: many commercially-made baby wipes contain alcohol, parabens, fragrances, propylene glycol, sodium benzoate, dyes, and chlorine treatment that can cause allergies and irritate delicate skin. Nadkins' 100% non-toxic formula is made with soothing aloe vera; allantoin (cleans away dead skin); Vitamin E (protects & nourishes); colloidal oatmeal (soothes dry, itchy skin); menthyl lactate (cools & refreshes) and grapefruit essence. The refresher wipes are sold in an elegant 10-pack “cigarette-style” box and through a refillable gravity box for retailer point-of-sale. On Nadkins.com, a premium box of 10 pocket-sized packettes will sell for $12.50; a subscription option for $11.50 per 10-pack box; and 3-pack (30 packets) for $30.00.

CROSS Has The #WriteGift For You This #Holiday2016

CROSS Pens has always been the gift given for recognizing achievements and for special moments. For example, one long story short could be a longitude and latitude location where you first met your husband/wife, or it could be a date when you decided to switch careers. These are special to you and part of a longer story. The long story short is anything that is a meaningful, lasting memory to each person. CROSS has always championed the pursuit of greatness. From the spark that inspires a passion, to the hard work and creativity needed to make it happen. It takes courage and a lot of heart, but those who take this path are the ones who make their mark on this world. CROSS was established in 1846 and to this day, receiving a CROSS fine writing instrument is a symbol of achievement, accomplishments, and human potential, all while being a luxury fine writing instrument. CROSS seeks to provide those possessing extraordinary vision and a strong entrepreneurial spirit with the tools needed to make their mark. CROSS will always continue to be the #WriteGift for recognizing the deserving moments in anyone's life from a job promotion, to marriage, to graduation… Who is deserving in your life?

I received a very nice pen from CROSS. It means a lot of me of course because it inscribed with The Kolb Family RIP Mason. Every time I use the pen, for whatever reason - writing a check, a letter, a note - I will think of Mason. But also, since it is a CROSS brand pen, that means something to me too. My late father was a lover of CROSS pens. They were the only pen he would use, he loved them so much! So this pen is double special to me! I've recently began to write my memoirs, which no one will probably ever read except maybe Callan, and it will be even more special when I used my new CROSS pen to write it!
