Haws Pink Watering Can

Filed under: Garden

Gardening is more of a spring, summer and fall activity than a winter one, but a watering can is one tool that can be used all year long if you have a couple of indoor plants that need maintenance. The Haws Pink Watering Can from Smith and Hawken is one of the company's new products for spring, but there is no reason to relegate the gold-tipped pink can to outdoor use only. It is made of galvanized steel and designed to be perfect balanced at all times. The exceptionally long neck is designed to allow you to easily reach those hard-to-reach plants with precision. 10% of the profits from the sale of this can will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, as well. Price: $50.

Are Single-Serving Wines Missing Something?

Filed under: Wine

Getting endorsement from a certain hotel heiress is probably not doing anything for the reputation of the products, but the market for single-serving wines is growing by leaps and bounds. The wines are a great alternative to opening a whole bottle for occasional drinkers or those who only use wine in cooking. They're also more convenient to tote around to picnics and events than full-sized bottles. But some consumers feel that the small packaging, especially the cans and juice-style boxes, are ruining the elegance of drinking wine, despite the fact that better and better wines are being packaged this way. Is the new packaging changing your perception of the product? Are single-serving wines really missing that certain something that makes wines appealing in the first place?
