aujenmom says "Tervis Tumbler - Guaranteed for Life!" about Tervis Tumbler Drinking Glass

When I first saw the Tervis Tumbler (www.tervis.com) I was impressed. Not so much by what the website had to say about it but what a friend of mine told me. It's guaranteed for life. Anything goes wrong - send it back & they'll replace it for free. Even the plastic lid & straw. I ran mine through the dishwasher every day and after about 30 washes a crack appeared. I sent it back and got my free replacement within a week - even with the customization I had ordered. And the best part about Tervis Tumblers is they don't "sweat." I'm from the South so every drink I have is first filled to the top with ice. This can be a problem at work when the condensation leaks all over your desk. None of this with the Tervis. Keeps cold stuff cold and hot stuff hot. The best glass I've ever used!!!...

angel28960 says "Nice glasses for everyday use" about The Cellar Soho High Ball Glassware

angel28960 — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 22:00:32 GMT

I really like these high ball glasses by Macy's in-house brand, The Cellar (shown at left in the picture). They are durable, classy, and simple enough to use everyday. I registered for 12 -- 3 sets of 4 -- and was so pleased with them that I ended up buying an extra set a few months after our wedding. I also have The Cellar's matching Double Old Fashioned glasses (shown at right in the picture.

These glasses are substantial enough so that they are not easily knocked over. The base of the glass is pretty thick so that even when they are full, most of the weight is at the bottom. The curved base adds an additional element of class to already nice glassware. I like that they are fairly inexpensive (for glassware) so that if (or when) we do break one, I can replace it easily.

We use them as everyday glasses, so they hold up to frequent use. They can also be used for fun mixed drinks like a mojito or a Tequila Sunrise or Sunset (my personal favorite).

We also frequently use...

vivasuzi says "The PERFECT glass for ice cream shakes!" about Colore Circleware Glassware - various sizes

vivasuzi — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:27:08 GMT

My best friend bought me these glasses for Christmas because she said I needed some COOL glasses. Well, these definitely are COOL, and after using them I can say they are perfect for shakes!

The Design
The glasses come in two sizes, 12oz and 20oz. My friend bought me a set of 4 of the 20oz glasses. Each set comes with 4 different colored glasses: Red, Orange, Blue and Green. The color is striped along the bottom half of the glass giving you just enough color to remember which glass is yours when you are using it. The top half is thin clear glass while the bottom half is a thicker, heavier glass. This means the glass is very stable and there's no worry of it tipping over.

Using the Glasses
I brought these glasses out for my Birthday celebration because we wanted Strawberry Shakes. These glasses ended up working perfectly for that! Due to the large opening on the top of the glass, I could pour the shakes from my blender with ease and NO spilling! Imagine that! You could see...

Jo says "Cheers to a great holiday season. " about Waterford Marquis Allegra Platinum Wine glasses

Jo — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 18:10:11 GMT

To the Point

Marquis by Waterford Allegra Platinum Wine glasses were one of the glasses my daughter and son-in-law chose for their registry. We used them over Thanksgiving. They looked wonderful on the table.

A Closer Look

Just as a "by the way" my son-in-law really doesn't like these. He prefers much larger glasses for wine. I put these on the table for water and/or wine.

These are made of lead crystal and felt fairly durable. They aren't as heavy as other goblets I have used. They are made in Slovenia.

These glasses have a beautiful rim of platinum on each glass which was a reason she chose them. Her china is rimmed in platinum.

Each glass is 8 inches high and costs $25.00. They are not machine washable!

There is a fluted type design on the base of the glass. You can see it in my picture but you can also see it and buy this glass here: http://www.crystalclassics.com/marquis/stems/allegraplat.htm

Jo's Viewpoint
I like it!

LaurieM says "These Custard Cups can be used for so much more than custard!" about Anchor Hocking Fireking Glass Custard Cups

LaurieM — Fri, 18 May 2007 16:26:16 GMT

Until I had children and animals, I never fully appreciated my set of eight Anchor Hocking Fireking Glass Custard Cups. I use them almost daily now and absolutely love them.

The Custard Cups

These round, clear, 6 oz, glass custard cups are two inches in diameter and have a rolled rim. The thickness of the glass makes the cups a bit heavier in weight than other custard cups. I believe that is the reason why they are so durable.

They are oven, microwave, and dishwasher safe.

My Experience

These custard cups are used daily by my family because there are unlimited uses for them. Listed below are just some of the uses that I have found for them:

~At dinnertime to put individual servings of vegetables in
~For melted butter when having salt potatoes or other foods
~For condiments when having a party
~For individual servings of Jell-O, puddings and of course custard
~For separating ingredients when baking
~For canned cat food (I have separate ones I use for the cat)
~At Easter, I have even......

LaurieM says "An inexpensive, attractive & versatile glass mixing bowl set." about Pyrex Prepware 6-Piece Sculptured Mixing Bowl Set

LaurieM — Fri, 18 May 2007 14:06:26 GMT

The majority of mixing bowls that I had before getting this Pyrex Prepware 6-Piece Sculptured Mixing Bowl Set set were plastic and stained. Needless to say, I was happy to accept these bowls from my mother-in-law and give them a try. Nearly two years later, they are still one of the most used mixing bowl sets in my kitchen.

The Bowls

This six piece Pyrex mixing bowl set includes three clear glass mixing bowls (3, 6, and 10 cup) with navy colored plastic lids. The outside of the mixing bowls are ribbed to add a little flair to the set. These bowls are lightweight yet durable.
