Knives that never need sharpening are usually more expensive than knives that dull over time. But from now until November 30th this Micro Edge 5-Piece Knife Set is 50% off it’s original price over at SharperImage.

About this Knife Set:
- Unique patented MicroEdge™ serrated blades always maintain their razor-thin edge.
- Surgical-grade stainless steel blades feature a full visible tang, secured by three rivets on the ergonomic handle for excellent balance and stability.
- Five-piece set includes paring, utility, chef’s, carving and bread knives.
- Each comes with protective blade sleeve.
- Dishwasher safe.

These would make an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys making food. Having the right knife that’s always sharp on hand is invaluable when preparing food. This five-piece set includes a 3″ paring knife, 7″ chef’s knife, 5″ utility knife, 8″ carving knife, and 8″ bread knife. Each patented Micro Edge knife comes with its own protective blade sleeve.

In order to get this set at 50% off (a savings of about $40) the regular price you must also purchase something else from SharperImage. If you are only looking to buy this 5 piece knife set then I’d recommend looking through the gifts from $5 to $50 section.

I’m not a GPS guru or anything, but I’ve always wondered about the personal tracking ability of GPS units and how well that can be implemented to be able to track your kids. When I was a teenager beepers (aka pagers) were the newest thing, and my friend had one so his parents could quickly get in touch with him if need be. This was before cell phones were so “affordable”. But even cell phones can’t give you the location of your child or the speed at which they are traveling in the car. Well at least not yet.

But we’ve now entered the age of Global Positioning Satellites (GPS), and Internet based applications. Now products like this Locate 1, Powered by MicroTRAKgps are available from Sharper Image. This device can locate your child within about 3 meters. In addition to being able to locate your child, or whatever you place this device on, this system can also tell you how fast they are going. I like this part because you can set alerts so that if your child drives over a certain speed limit, or goes out of a certain area you specify, you can be notified with a simple text message to your cell phone. Then you can call them and bust them in the act! Could you imagine getting a call from your parents 30 seconds after showing your friends that your Delorean can go 88mph like Marty McFly? Ouch. All of this fun busting information and settings are easily set and tracked via an Internet based system from MicroTRAKgps’ website. So as long as you have an Internet connection you can check the location and speed of your handy GPS tracking device and what ever it’s hidden in.

Other uses for this GPS device include things like calculating total miles driven, or alerting MicroTRAKgps of an emergency so they can notify the proper authorities. The device weighs no more than a regular cell phone, and is the size of a deck of cards so it can be easily hidden or carried without hassle. Battery life can last up to 5 days for extensive tracking.

We here at Mable’s are big fans of local Farmer’s Markets because we like to support local farmers, and their prices are lower than stores, even for organically grown produce. You can also get a lower price per item when you buy in bulk, but the only problem can be proper storage for lasting freshness. Fruits and veggies are a favorite with many families, but they don’t last very long in the standard plastic storage containers, even in the fridge.

Enter the FresherLonger™ Miracle Food Storage containers from Sharper Image that promise to keep food fresher for up to 3-4 times longer. They have a couple patent-pending features that keep out oxidizing air and reduce growth of mold and fungus, including silver nanoparticles and silicone-gasket locking system. These food storage containers can be washed like normal containers and are even microwave safe (if you’re still into that). They work for any fresh food, but aren’t recommended for fermented foods because bacteria is one of the things they prevent the growth of.

A customer review of these Fresher Longer containers states “… just before I went out of town I sliced fresh strawberries and put them in one of the small containers hoping they might still be OK when I got back. This morning (14 days after I put them in the container) they were fresh and firm and delicious!”

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of throwing out food because it was hidden in a storage container behind something in the fridge and/or I just didn’t get to eat it in time. I’m ready to replace my old containers for these naturally antibacterial containers and start enjoying all the fresh produce I purchase.
