The Best Of Pop Art

Perfect for after-school snacks, last-minute barbecues and game night treats. Leave the device in the freezer until you're ready to get popping (makes up to 9 pops in one freezer cycle.) But the best part? Easy prep and clean-up. Made in China. BPA-free plastic and nonstick cast aluminum molds. Handwash only.

 My Review:

Are you looking for unique gifts that will really get noticed? Well Uncommon Goods is a great shop for you! They have so many great unique and fun items to use, or decorate with. I was amazed when I was checking out the site. There are so many great items, some just made me laugh and say now why didn’t I think of that? And of course why don’t I have one? I must put it on my list.  If you are out at the malls they are already getting ready for the holidays. I can’t believe Santa will be at our local mall this weekend… Wasn’t it is just Halloween a few days ago?  So it is time to get my holiday gift list together for sure.  Uncommon Goods is a great place to start!

I picked the Zoku Quick Pop Maker to review because my daughter loves ice pops. Not just in the summertime, but all year round. And most ice pops are so full of sugar, and so many artificial ingredients. And being able to make my own heather pops is great. Knowing exactly what is in the pops, that is wonderful.  I can use a 100% fruit juice, and add fruit chunks.  But for the first pops we made my daughter asked me to make a strawberry pop. Sure why not, it is bound to be delicious!

My daughter was so excited to be able to make her own pops, she is such a help in the kitchen. Making the pops was simple, only a few steps were needed, and just as promised the pops were ready in minutes, that is  great for kids, some kids have no patience. Well big kids have little patience as well… my husband could not wait to try the bars too.  I am looking forward to making some eggnog pops closer to the holidays for my holiday party, I am sure the adults will love them!

I was very impressed with the pop maker and with Uncommongoods.com. I would recommend uncommongoods.com if you are looking for UniqueStocking Stuffers Ideas and they have so many Unique Gifts for Cooks you will find that gift for the chef in your family! Go to Uncommon Goods website to see the great selection of gifts. Remember when making a purchase Uncommon Goods  donates a portion of each order to your choice of non-profit organizations including American Forests, AmeriCares, City Harvest, and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).  So when you purchase your holiday gifts you are also giving to others this holiday season. This is a wonderful company with some great beliefs, and items!
