 Unbreakable
8 Oz. Wine Goblet
@ Hammacher
- $49.95 Easily
mistaken for fine crystal, this tableware is actually made of polycarbonate
-- the same material used in bullet-proof glass.
 We
had some really nice plastic wine glasses from Crate & Barrel, but
they cracked too easily. (Who knew acrylic & whisky don't mix?) These
glasses are good-looking, and they won't break!
 Tanfoglio
Flameless Candles
@ Hammacher - $29.95
Italian candle lamps
glow like firelight without the flame, soot or mess. Battery-operated
candles can safely "burn" unattended. Only at Hammacher.
We've
found several versions of the "no flame" candle. These are great
because they recharge and if the power goes out, they turn right on!
 Wonder
Vase
@ Magellan's - $14.85
Amazing WonderVase
packs flat and molds to any shape to hold fresh flowers wherever you are.
Nothing brightens a hotel room like flowers from the local market. This
unique, leak-proof vase is made of a sturdy, thermal-plastic material
that looks like glass, yet folds flat. With warm water, it becomes malleable,
for molding any way you choose. Then fill with cool water and add flowers.
Rinse in warm water and smooth flat to pack. Set of three vases includes
one small blue (8 x 4"), one medium clear (11 x 6"), and one
large blue (13 x 8"). 31⁄2 oz total weight.
This
great product lets you have fresh flowers wherever you are, be it the
RV, boat or hotel room. No storage needed and no glass to break with these!
