I am sharing two completely unrelated product endorsements.
Faux cotton remains a trendy decorating accent and these stems from Dollar Tree are pretty good quality.
Certainly not perfect replicas, I think they are comparable to others sold in craft stores and at a fraction of the cost. I was happy to find them in stock at our local Dollar Tree and picked up five. They sell really quickly, so you will want to check your store if you would like any. They are a seasonal item, so they won't be restocked when they are sold-out.
Whether clustered in a vase or woven into an arrangement of greenery, these will be fun to use. I plan to incorporate them in one of my trees this Christmas.
For many reasons, I am not a fan of premade food products so it's especially surprising that I am recommending this.
When I read about this kit in our local restaurant supplier store ad, I decided to give it a try because I wanted to make a Greek meal. I admit that I did not have very high expectations, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste. Everything is precooked and microwavable, but I prepared ours using the oven and stove. I made a fresh Greek salad and fresh oven-roasted Greek potatoes to go with our dinner. I would buy them again. I searched online and discovered that they are carried at Walmart stores. No matter where you get them, they are kept in the frozen foods section and do require to be transferred to the refrigerator for 12 hours before preparing.
Have you ever purchased either of these items?
If so, what did you think?
