\"\"<\/a>Soup Caddy & Jar Opener<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both these items are big hits in my family. People use the soup caddies to death and ask for another one. They go in the microwave around your bowl and act as an oven mitt to take the bowl out. It also acts as a warmer to keep the meal hot. And it is fun to use novelty prints to really make them personal. Soup caddies make a great little gift, and you can enclose a favourite recipe or two to really make it special. I use the jar opener in my kitchen on a regular basis. I wouldn’t be without it. Easy to make and cute to give away.
