The cost of entertaining today is getting more expensive all the time. So why do you have to spend a lot of hard-earned cash on lace doilies that can get stained and that you have to wash each time you use them. Get these exquisite paper doilies and put your worries away! Chafing dishes can be centered on the large ones, while gravy boats, butter dishes, or condiment tray can be placed on the medium-sized doilies. The smaller ones can be set on your table as elegant coasters under your stemware. The best part: after the evening in done, and the table is cleaned up, instead of spraying spot remover on your expensive linens, you simply throw these away! No muss, no fuss...leaving you more time to enjoy with your guests.

Quick! Call Martha! Laughing....I love to make fun of her, yet, I admit I am envious of Ms. Stewart's tenacious inventive ingenuity. Even she would love this offering of lacy decorative paper doilies. A set of 50, in round and rectangular, in small to larger sizes, for this price--is almost unheard of.

Anyone who is proud of their baking knows how important it is to add those extra little touches. And hey, even if you do not bake---putting beautiful doilies under store bought treats, will make people think you do! I also use doilies in my crafts room, (they make great felt tracing shapers). And if I have small children visiting, some doilies and crayons make a perfect project to keep everybody happy.

I have paid a lot more for doilies! The price for 10 is ussually about five dollars, so you know you are getting a deal. I love doilies for special occasions. If you are into tea and cookies or want to make a special presentation, these are so great. One point, they will absorb oil and butter, so don't set your baked goods on the paper too soon. Just before serving is best.

This is just a plastic sleeve which fits over the end of two 2.5 inch diameter Shop-Vac brand hoses. There isn't any means to secure the hoses from pulling apart when using this item, so if you'll be pulling the vacuum around by the hose, you may need to whip out the duct tape or even apply Shoe Goop or other product to make the connection permanent.
For general "just need to connect two lengths of hoses" for extra reach, this works fine.
An inexpensive doodad for us manly Shop - Vac owners / operators! Comes in Shop - Vac BLACK plastic color only.

connects hoses of same size to make longer reaches possible.

Not much here. It couples vacume hoses.

I recently received my online order of the Shot Steward which was supposed to come with 4 "Elegant Tumblers". The Shot Steward was in the package, but no tumblers. I orderd this in advance for my father's Christmas present. When I called the 800 number to talk to someone about my tumblers missing, I was told to get the return tag off the internet, send back the Shot Steward I had received, and they would send me another full set, tumblers included. Then the nice lady preceeded to tell me it would be 14 days before they would receive my returned item, and be able to send the new one, which would take another 7 to 14 days. My father would hopefully receive his present by Easter.

It is supposed to be so nice to shop on-line, and with a reputable store like Target and Marshall Fields. I hope they run their business, better than they treat their online customers. Thanks for nothing.

This little item has turned me into a Bartender Extraordinair! It was given to me as a housewarming gift and now all of my friends are buying them. This truly does make pouring drinks much easier. It also is a great conversation piece on the bar!

This is something that would definitely catch your attention.Who wouldn't want to have one of these at their place.Chicks dig these puppy's.I am going to order one of these as soon as possible.Thank you whoever invented this.

If you are considering purchasing these stools, please note that they are counter height, not bar height. They are too short to be used at a traditional bar. Be sure to look at the dimensions carefully before purchasing. They are great stools and look just like they are pictured- sturdy and very pretty, just shorter than we had anticipated.

These chairs are great for our countertop. They are easy to clean. We did end up recovering them and putting plastic over the seat since we have small children. We plan on replacing our kitchen table chairs with the shorter version in the next few months.

We just ordered our barstools a couple of days ago and we already recieved them. They were even better than I thought they would be, and the price was even better. We looked everywhere for the right barstools and these were perfect. The seat is very comfortable and wide enough too. I recommend these barstools!

This lil crock is the greatest I use it for hot dips,and to keep the gravy hot for a huge meal during the holidays. The only thing I wish it had was a temp control sometimes it gets to hot and I have to unplug it for a little while, but all in all its a great lil crock!!!!

I was surprised by what poor reviews most of the crock pots received on amazon.com, but I decided to buy this little one when I saw it at Target for $9.99. Figured even if it didn't work well, that's not much money to lose! Well, this is my first crock pot and I love it. I'm glad there's one this small. I usually fill it only half way and then have leftovers, but it could probably feed a family of four without leftovers. A lot of reviews for other crock pots said that the lids often fit poorly, but the lid on mine is perfect. I've used it seven times so far and everything has been wonderful! I particularly like the applesauce recipe that comes with the crock pot, it makes the best applesauce ever and it's nice to just peel them the night before and wake up to hot applesauce (also good over ice cream). Keep in mind that the crock pot only has the low heat setting, but I haven't had any trouble cooking recipes that call for the high setting in here. Just takes a bit longer. Also, it's not tough at all to convert recipes for larger crocks to fit this one. Mine doesn't have any problem with cooking to hot, maybe it was just the other reviewer's crock pot. I would recommend this to anyone, it's well worth the money!

I tried 3 of these around my place - one under a platform bed, a second in a cloths closet, and a third in an outdoor toolbox. After a couple of weeks they all collected some water, and the white chemical settled on the bottom. I poured the liquid out and replaced the open containers. Some of the chemical is lost in the liquid, but after four or five times of dumping, there still is a little of the chemical on the bottom. It seems to work, that is, it collects water from the air. Just make sure it is in a secure place where it won't be spilled. There is no odor, and the protected spaces seem to be dryer.

We have used many dehumidifying products in our home, on our boat, and in our offices. Dry Out Chemical Dehumidifier is the most active, effective, longest lasting, easy to use, inexpensive product on the market today, that exceeds all expectations and all of the competitive products! Try it! You'll LOVE it!

I bought this pole and installed it for my Purple Martin house. Martin houses are heavy (even heavier with birds and nests in them) and probably require the strength of steel rather than wood or PVC. Installation requires digging a 12 " hole, 30" to 36" deep, a bag of cement and some gravel. Of course, this means you must have the tools necessary for digging and mixing the cement (Post hole digger, mixing pan, hoe, and a shovel) and the permission of the property owner.

As soon as we put up the house the Martins were checking it out. We have one just like it and some of the birds moved right in. We love out new house.We live in Southern most central Oklahoma.

I've had this set for more than a decade. It is simple, practical and durable. I recommend it.

I received a set of these glasses as a wedding gift 8+ years ago. They still look great while an older, different set looks hazy after years of washing. Out with the old and in with the tried and true.

Having one of these around saved me when my basement flooded recently - it sucked up the first gazillion gallons of water with no problems, and I was totally impressed with its capacity and power. It's got a nice squeegee attachment that really gets the last drops off the floor, and the other assorted nozzles should cover most day-to-day needs.

The dry "suck" is good too - basically a brute force vacuum that'll gobble everything in its path (beware - it'll pick up stuff you'd never see your regular vacuum get). That's what this was originally about: attach it to a router or a sander, and save yourself dust and woodchips flying everywhere. The simple filter/bag system works fine, and converting from wet to dry and back is a cinch.

Couple of problems with the shop vac design: it's top heavy, with a big heavy motor assembly sitting above a flimsy plastic bin. Since the hose you pull to get it to move is attached up top, you'll find yourself tipping the whole thing over time and again. That's a real pain since it causes all the dust inside the bin to get blown out the exhaust. Other problem is the wheels: they're too flimsy and attach poorly - screws would've gone a long way to stabilizing the vac. Also, when sucking up lots of water, you'll soon get annowyed with having to disassemble the thing entirely to empty it - hose must come off, engine clamped off the top before you can tip the contents out of the bin, which is no mean feat when it's filled with 6 gallons of water. Oh, and pulling the vac by the hose when it's full of water is not a good idea - the vac won't budge, and instead you risk tearing the hose off, or even worse, tearing the hose in half. Finally, a longer power cord would be nice - the four feet or so provided doesn't go far.

It would have been nice if you could attach the hose to the exhaust and use it as a powerful blower, but that's not possible. It would also have been nice if you could attach an additional hose at the bottom when using it as a wet vac - essentially that would've allowed it to function as a mobile emergency pump.

Still a great deal by any standard; every home really should have one.

This vacuum works fairly well for lighter duty use, but don't expect to suck up large rusty nails or similar nasty jobs with it. The horsepower is only adequate for smaller jobs, and the smaller dhose iameter (1.25") is a limiting factor. On the plus side, it's a great compact size that doesn't take up too much room in my shop, and is easy to carry around the house. I wish it came with more attachements like a crevice tool...

For an inexpensive shop vac, this does the trick, the hose is very flexible and does not pull out of the canister as in my experience the Sears model does. Light and easliy pulled, buy it and you will not be dissappointed.

It's an great way to store lots of fruit in a small kitchen to conserve counter space.

I put this on my wish list to go with my stainless steel/chrome kitchen theme. To my surprise, it came in the mail one day as a late Christmas present. I was excited, and cleared a space for it immediately in my kitchen. Unfortunately, it's about 2 inches taller than the space in between the kitchen counter and the bottom of the cupboards! I haven't decided if I'll exchange it yet - the metal seems flexible enough I might be able to bend it so it's shorter. The wire that wraps around to form the baskets is very easily bent, so beware that this may look a little misshapen when shipped. And make sure to measure the space!!! I live in a late 90's apartment, and it's too tall for our standard set-up kitchen.

I was looking for a sturdy fruit basket that could hold a large amount of fruit, and I found this one on the Target.com web-site. Since my European kitchen is for the most part, stainless steel in design, this basket fit in well with my other accessories. I made a place for the basket on the sink counter. This is a tall basket, but it gave much-needed height to my counter and really compliments my kitchen. When people go into the kitchen, the beautiful basket is the first thing they notice!
