Wait! Don't eat it. They are soaps. Made by a special breed of craftsmen who boasts of 300 years old lineage who originally made 100% pure organic soaps for the people living in Ottoman palace. These proud soap makers lived near the Sea of Marmara in Turkey.

This is not your usual office desk; it is a manicure table!
Such an exclusive manicure table is seen only in professional SPA parlors and high end resorts with all the trimmings.
However, when I read the description of this Cambridge Manicure Table at spaequip.com, it resembled the description of any office table.
I don't know about other countries but India is a hot market for corporate giveaways. Myriad gifts are given away free by businesses carrying their brand image, a famous quote followed by their company's log and so on.
Example is one such gift below:
It is a simple gift, a can holder where you and I can place a Cocoa-Cola or any energy drink can. This very can cooler is made of cloth that is imprinted with custom image.
This custom can cooler called 'Camo' can be imprinted in a variety of colors on both sides of the can cooler. Don't you think they would make perfect giveaways for tradeshows, corporate outings or even family
reunions?
I know what you are thinking. Yes, this can cooler ideally hides veer cans too.
Would you believe it? These are fashionable glass bottles to store and carry water! Therefore, there are no holes as it appears to be but design. Though not very popular these days, glass bottles are much safe than any kind of plastic material however non-toxic they may be.
I thought children would love these designer water bottles and would proudly show around.

I am very happy to note that my good friend Krishna Kumar aka KK has authored his first travel guide titled, Explore Coorg-the Scotland of India". It is heartening to note that he has listed his book in Amazon.
I have known KK for some years now. He maintains a travel blog called, "Indian Columbus".
His book on Coorg explores every nook and corner of the hill. Since he has personally visited all the places of Coorg, he is able to give first hand information on places to see, where to stay and what to eat. The book has many beautiful pictures of Coorg.
Some of the places in Coorg covered by KK such as Abbi Falls, Tala Cauvery, are familiar to me when I visited Coorg long back. The path to Abby falls is surrounded by coffee plantations.
I remember he planned to start a blog on cameras. I hoe he starts it soon.
I sincerely wish his becomes a best selling travel guide in Amazon.
I just bought a lovely looking printed saree from Tradus.
It is called "Renil Crepe' printed saree that comes with a matching blouse. I bought it from Tradus. It was delivered in 48 hours from the date of purchase. Aren't the saree and the woman look beautiful?
When I wanted to buy the same for my sister, I noticed it was sold out. When explored further, it was available for a higher price. I bought it for just Rs.399 after discount of whopping Rs.200.
Visit the following link for a big range of stunning printed sarees. Be prepared to buy more than you intend to as the choices are plenty. http://www.tradus.com/store/Sv%20Inc-1073375
Coffee lovers in India should be eagerly awaiting the opening of the first Starbucks outlet. Mumbaikars are lucky as they get the first chance to taste the world's best coffee. Tata Global Beverages Limited has tied up with Starbucks.
Starbucks has nearly 18,000 outlets in as many as 60 countries. Our neighbor China has 700 Starbucks outlets. India is latest addition.
I have heard about Starbucks coffee a lot and even wrote a couple of blog posts and got paid for them. Personally, I wonder how the Madras coffee lovers would react to Starbucks coffee as I believe the standard of coffee in Tamilnadu is very high already.
However, I don't know whether local Government would allow global retail outlets to start their business.
May be I can go over to Bombay just to taste the Starbucks coffee as it would be much cheaper than going to China.
Initially, the coffee range include:
* Starbucks’ espresso-based beverages,
* Starbucks VIA Ready Brew
* Starbucks Reserves
* Tata Tazo tea
* Himalayan mineral water (products of TGBL).
I believe there are 14 different coffee varieties served at all Starbucks outlets.
Watch a video of how a Starbuck coffee is brewed, dispensed and served.

This unique hair dressing product deserves exposure through blogs and social media.
The concept is innovative-a hair brush that also serves as a towel!
This is an interesting product for both men and women. Instead of toweling wet hair and increase the chances of hair fall, use this hair brush on your wet hair.
It absorbs 30% moisture as you use it. After about a few minutes of brushing the hair, you wait for two minutes (to rest your hands only ), use your hair dryer.
You can't just take an axe and start hammering at your basement wall to see the world outside-right? At the same time, you may wish there was a window to freshen you up.
Look at this alternate solution. It provides you a window instantly with great views out but at the same time no need to break the wall!
Have you noticed the competition has increased among manufacturers of Tablet PC? In addition, the stiff competition is the main reason for the lower prices. I am sure the first buyers of Tablet PCs would rue their decision to buy at the launch price.
When the sales started dipping, I expected some top manufacturers of Android tablets would reduce their production but somehow, they seem to come up more advanced features.
Look at this SONY Tablet PC.
When in folding status, it looks like any other Smart Phone but when unfolded, you get a larger screen size of 10 inches! You can expect such surprises only from my all time favorite SONY. What runs this Tablet?
A dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 mobile processor and runs on Android Honeycomb OS. The gadget comes with 3G and WiFi connectivity, will cost Rs 37,000.
Flowers to your mom on mother's day is pretty old style and quite banal. I never prefer to give or receive bouquets . What is the fun in giving or receiving a bunch of flowers that will reach the garbage bin a few hours?
Come on, we are not living in old English era where everything and everybody was romantic because of influence of Shakespeare and other romantic playwrights and novelists. Those days, if you give flower to beggar, it was considered that you are an elite.
So, what is the best gift for mother's day?
Why not give your mom a lovely box of Organic Spa gift? I once recommended a pack of skin care products to a friend of mine. The pack contained 6 different skin care creams, soaps and bath oils-all were finest extracts from herbs and plants.
The receiver went delirious with excitement. The fragrance was exotic and her skin showed all the glow after two weeks of using vegan organic products.
