Spice Stack http://www.spicestack.com/
The SpiceStack™ line of spice organizers from YouCopia Products, Inc., helps cooks locate and retrieve spices quickly and easily, while saving valuable countertop space.
YouCopia currently offers two products: The Original SpiceStack and the Super SpiceStack. The Original unit, which sells for $24.95, stores 18 full-size or 36 half-size spice bottles and fits in virtually all kitchen cabinets. It makes a great gift for college graduates, newlyweds, new homeowners or anyone that is just starting out in the kitchen. The Super SpiceStack, which sells for $34.95 and stores 27 full-size or 54 half-size spice bottles, is a smart, practical solution for people with extensive spice collections.

“Research shows storing and organizing spices is a major problem in most kitchens,”

“Traditional spice racks take up too much space on the counter, are difficult to organize and use, or don’t hold enough spices. SpiceStack spice cabinets help home cooks locate and retrieve their spices, while saving valuable countertop space and keeping kitchen cabinets clutter-free.”

6. And best of all- no wrapping necessary!


EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
http://www.californiaoliveranch.com/
Similar to the explosion of the California wine industry in the 1970s, the California olive oil industry is on the verge of becoming known for producing fresh, high-quality, widely available and affordable extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), and exposing the many benefits of locally grown EVOO over imported brands, right in our own backyard. The launch of “Everyday California Fresh” EVOO from California Olive Ranch, the largest producer of EVOO in North America, marks the first time a US brand can mass-produce high quality, fresh, affordable and traceable everyday EVOO for the US marketplace. From branch to shelf, California Olive Ranch can trace each and every bottle to guarantee quality, taste and freshness, a claim no other everyday EVOO brand can make. The bottle retails for just $8.99.
