Gift: 2 sets of Eiko Egg Boilers from Vessel
Designer: Eiko
Shop: Available from Vessel for $19 per set of four.

Congratulations to reader mousitch who was the randomly-selected winner of our last Thursday Giveaway, a Krups Panini Maker.

We love hot sandwiches in this dismal part of the winter, especially gooey sandwiches with lots of cheese. We're giving away a Krups Panini Maker and Grill - great for inside grilling right now.

Congratulations to reader Babalu who won a SodaClub seltzer water maker kit in last week's Thursday Giveaway.

She said that she'll be whipping up some egg creams in this seltzer maker. An egg cream actually has no egg and no cream - it's soda and milk and flavoring - rather like these Mini Chocolate Ice Cream Sodas. If you want to get your own SodaClub machine, check out the nice discount they're offering our readers.

Gift: Soda-Club Home Soda Maker Edition #1
Shop: Edition #1 Soda Maker and starter kit available through Soda-Club USA for $99.99

Fresh sparkling seltzer water at home - remember all our tips and ideas on how to make soda water yourself? One of the options we mentioned was this appliance from Soda-Club USA. It sits on your counter and makes sparkling water. To read more about it and maybe win one, read on. Also, Soda-Club has offered a discount to all our readers! More
