Crepini

crepini.com/

Crepinis are a cross between a French crepe and a Ukrainian blini, without the carbs. They are dairyfree, kosher, Whole-30 compliant, keto, and paleo approved. Made with eggs, our vegan friends won’t be eating them. They are made with cauliflower, sweet potato, and gluten-free grains and seasoned with a proprietary blend of spices including turmeric for one and cinnamon for another. They arrived in a sustainable cardboard box, insulated with recycled denim to keep the box dry, yet cold from the two ice packs. This kind of shipping makes the Crepinis cost more than similar wraps. Each set of Crepinis is wrapped in plastic and you know how bUenek feels about that. The flavor is more bland than we expected, but that just lets out the flavor of our veggies. With the plastic wrap and no sign of philanthropy, we had to deduct two points. •

Stardeck

lisastardust.com/

What a great gift idea for the astrology/ zodiac lover! The 70-card deck arrived in a beautiful box that’s sure to become a keepsake, though the user will need to be careful handling it. We know people can use an online research tool to find much of the information in the Stardeck, but we like to hold the cards and feel them while we learn how stars and planets play into our lives. Two of us reviewed this deck and we found it very useful, as we’re not astrologers. It’s a great tool for when you want to get away from the blue light of your electronic devices and explore this craft the old fashioned way. We like the size and simplicity of the Stardeck because we can carry it with us to study during those times we’re stuck in line somewhere. The birthchart was particularly fascinating and fun to use. The link takes you to the author’s page on Amazon where we were amazed to see the price has been slashed on the Stardeck. It might be time to stock up for the holidays! We deducted a point because we couldn’t find any indication that she has a charitable outreach. • 9,
