Stocking Stuffed with Candy & Treats

This is a cute little stockings for the christmas holiday. They are great for small childern or as a company gift exchange. They come as a set of 2 stockings. Each stocking is filled with a various selections of candies.


These stockings each have a christmas type picture on it. My set of two came as red and blue in the sets. The stockings are about 5 inches long by 3 inches wide. Each stocking has about 12 pieces of candy in them. It varies on the types of candies in them. Some of them are chocolate so I would make sure not to order these during summer or into a destination that gets hot because it could possibly melt.


If you are looking for a cute stocking that comes prefilled with some sweet goodness these are a great set to consider. I would like to thank Practical4@gmail.com and affiliates for sending me these stockings to try out and share my opinion.

Volmate Vol-300 Battery Tester Review

The link on this page is to the Vol-200 battery tester. I was sent the model VOL-300 instead. Either way this is kind of a handy little tool to keep around your battery drawer. It is designed to let you know how much charge is left in your battery. It is really easy to test your battery with and super easy to read.




In all the unit might weight a couple of ounces. So you do not have to worry about it being to heavy for your drawer it is stored in. The tester is about 4 inches by 2 inches. About 1 inch in thickness.
To use this tester all you you have to do is set the positive end of your battery on the positive icon side of the meter. Then slide it up until it makes contact to the top of the unit. From there it is a simple read the gauge to see where you stand on this batteries charge. I have used it for AAA, AA, C, and D batteries on the slide handle. Now for the guage it is color coded as well as labeled. There is red, yellow, and green. Red is replace, yellow is low, and green is good. On the top of the unit there is a place to test 9V batteries as well, I have not used it yet but I do not forsee any issues with the testing.




Upon testing the unit I wanted to make sure it was doing as it states. I had some run down batteries of all sizes that I collected to be able to do this test. I also had some that I was currently using and were in place for a bit of time. So to start with I put a fresh battery that had never been used on the tester and the peg went to about 2/3 into the green area. Next I chose to grab one of the old worn out batteries that I knew for sure was dead. The meter did read this as a dead battery. So far so good great on both ends of the scale. I tried to get a battery that would show up in the yellow are but I do not think they last long in the low area. Or I was unable to get that reading. None the less It did read every dead battery as dead and all of the new batteries as good.




If you are looking for a quick way to test the life of your batteries before you install them or want to check how well your rechargeable batteries are doing on their charge. This is a handy little unit that can make that all possible. I would like to thank Volmate Technologies and affiliates for sending me this battery tester to try out and share my opinion.

12 Piece Stainless Steel Mix & Measure Combo Set Review

This is a very awesome collection of bowls and cups. There are 12 pieces in total in this set. Every piece is stainless steel which makes it very durable. Included in this set are:


3 Bowls
4.2, 2.6, and 1.5 quart sizes


4 Measuring spoons
1/4, 1/2, 1 teaspon, and 1 tablespoon


4 Measuring cups
1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup


1 Wire whisk


I will start with the measuring spoons. They are made from a decent thickness of steel. The handles can be bent if some pressure is applied. So do not use them to work in your garden LOL. Pretty anything you are going to measure out in these spoons will do no damage to them. The handles also have the spoon sizes engraded into them. These engravings are in both standard and metric sizes. At the end of the handles the spoons are connected with a fairly cheap key ring type attachment. Personally I removed the cheap key ring and put them on my peg board.


Next the measuring cups. These are again made from a decent thickness of metal. They will be able to withstand many years of use. They also have the sizes of the cups engraved in the handles in both standard and metric sizes like the spoons. The handles are about the same thickness as the spoons which is kind of disappointing because the rest of the cup is made from steel about 2x thicker. Again these are connected with a cheap key ring that I removed and put them on my peg board as well.


Now for the mixing bowls. These are simply the best part of this whole collection. They are super easy to clean and very durable. You do need to pay attention to what you are using in the bowls though. They are steel and will transfer the temperature from inside the bowl to the outside of the bowl. So if you pour some hot gravy straight from the stove into the bowl, the bowl is going to get hot. I use the 4.2 and 2.6 quart bowls to make things like bread pudding, banana oatmeal bars, and various other things. I use the bowl that works best for the batch size that I am putting together. The small 1.5 quart bowl has been claimed by my nephew as his new cereal bowl.


Lastly is the whisk. It is probably the only part of the set that is not built very durable. It does work well for mixing multiple things. I have used the whisk to beat eggs, make a cake mix, and for pancake batter. The handle of the whisk appears to be sealed which is great for making sure there are much lesser chances of left over food making people sick.


Since this is a stainless steel set. It is super easy to care for and clean. For starters it usually only requires some warm water and a wash cloth to clean the entire set. They are stainless steel which means they are dishwasher safe. Again be careful when taking them from the dishwasher, let them set and cool before grabbing them because they will be hot. These are able to air dry and they will not leave spots.


If you are looking for a great set of bowls, cups, and spoons for baking this is a great set to pick up. They are durable, easy to take care of, and clean. I would like to thank Skas marketing for sending me this great set of stainless steel kitchen pieces to try out and share my opinion.
