Palo Alto Firefighters Pepper Sauce
Yum! I’m not usually much for hot sauce, but this is a winner.
My husband calls the Palo Alto Firefighters Pepper Sauce “cowboy syrup,” and and puts it on everything. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him using it as an ice cream topping.
The sauce is savory with just a tiny bit of kick, and it’s excellent with barbecue or breakfast dishes like eggs or fried potatoes. Try it, and see if you don’t order a few more bottles.

True Blue Spa Suddenly Sauna
She pours tap water inside these disposable mitts and booties, and they heat up. Then she glops on the moisturizer, slips her hands and feet inside, and waits for the heat to help her skin absorb the moisture. Like a day spa, but she can watch TiVo while it works.

Tusk Indexer Wallet
I’ve yet to meet a woman who isn’t enamored of Tusk wallets. I’ve carried one for years and now I’m in the market for a replacement. This Indexer is a leading candidate.
The leather is butter-soft kidskin with signature Tusk contrasting stitching and interior leather. Edible.

Sweet Nothings Goat Milk Creme
A mom and daughter team hand makes these skin products from the milk of their very own goat herd in California.
They have a whole line of soaps and ointments, but I’m partial to their face cream. It’s light but nourishing, and meant for use day or night. Also, it smells like candied orange peels and rosemary. Phthalate free, Paraben free, no animal testing, hooray.
