So, I heard recently that Amazon published their their top selling products for 2008. I was curious and checked them out. Two items jumped out at me -- maybe because I'm in that winter homebody mode....
They noted the Oster 4207 electric wine opener. I get it... wine was probably a big gift for the 2008 holiday season and the wine opener made a nice 'extra.' I checked the model out on the Oster site and can see how this baby has legs in the gift-giving area. Though I have to admit... I find it pretty satisfying when a cork is pulled from a bottle just right. It says having this will allow me more time with guests. Not so sure on that, but it will definitely make me look way more cool in front of guests (as my bottle opening skills leave a lot to be desired). I'd love to see one in action. Local kitchen store -- here I come.
The other item... and this one makes tons of sense this time of year: First Alert CO600 plug-in carbon monoxide alarm. I was a little confused about it being a "plug-in," but just confirmed that it has a battery back up. Now I get it.
What made this listing even more important to me? I just completed a survey from my state's Department of Health and Human Services and they made a point of asking if I had one of these. That question right up there with the major life/health questions on heart disease and diabetes. When I hung up... I put the item on my shopping list. Then, voila, here it is on the Amazon list. Someone is definitely trying to send me a message. I get it -- message received! Keeping my family safe and healthy really does top my list of needs in 2009.
