- Hi I'm Paris and it's February already.
You can't deny Valentine's is coming soon, and this
Valentine's Day is going to be cold and dark
as foretold by the groundhog, six more weeks of winter.
Well I have the perfect valentine gift suggestions
for six more weeks of winter.
♫ Epic Review Guys
- The first is from a company called Minos.
They contacted me, they said we've seen you do kettle
reviews, cups and mugs, even a monthly tea subscription
service, we think we have the cutest tea product
you could ever want, so I told them send it on.
So what do you get for someone when there's six more weeks
of winter coming, well how about a combination teapot,
teacup, I saw this on their website, that is insanely cute.
With this gift idea you're going for quiet elegance.
This is just so cute because this is the teapot
and this is the teacup, they fit together just like that.
The teacup has a built in strainer so you can use it
with a tea bag or the loose tea and the handles,
they send you other colors, I want to put red on
because that's what I saw on their website
and it looks so nice with red.
This is how I saw it on their web page with the red
handles and I just fell in love with this.
Now I realize with the reflective surface you can see
what a mess the rest of the room is, even the wig head
over there with the binaural microphones in it.
But pay no attention to the mess in front
of the teacup and teapot.
This is just so fancy and elegant looking, but also modern
looking because of the stainless steel.
And like most things that are cute and elegant,
it's not inexpensive.
This tea for one set goes for $70, I'll have a link to it
down below this video.
If you've watched Epic Review Guys for a while
you may recognize a couple of other items
I've done videos on here.
This electric tea kettle will have the water boiling
here in no time, and this is the Rosali tea monthly
subscription tea box which I still have teas left from
and I'm going to pick one out to make right now.
I've decided to go with Masala Chai.
I've rinsed out my cup and pot, the strainer here is
in the center portion, so I'll leave that in there
and spoon the tea right into it.
Should be enough for a small cup.
There it goes, the water is ready.
Okay the handle portion here that you can change
the different colors to, this I think is silicone,
it resists the heat going through it,
so as long as you're holding it like this
it stays reasonably cool, don't touch that part.
Put that on, give it a minute or two to steep.
Time to serve the tea.
Well I think I get two cups out of this.
This is more than 250 milliliters,
I think just the cup is 250 milliliters.
Okay.
Smells so good, I love chai.
The tea is still very hot inside,
so far the cup itself is just warm.
Again you've got the silicone handle there
so you can hold it by that without getting too hot.
While that's cooling down, let's go ahead
and take a look at the second ultimate perfect gift idea
for six more weeks of winter.
When you're in drinking your tea because it's so cold out
and it's so dark and you don't want to go do anything
anywhere, why not do a thousand piece puzzle of cats.
This is Cool Cats A to Z different cat types A to Z.
What you see here on the front is what the puzzle is of.
A thousand pieces, don't think you're going to finish this
in one afternoon, going to need more than one cup of tea.
Does that look daunting to you, or does that look like fun?
About $17 for the Cool Cats puzzle, I picked it up over
at Barnes and Noble, but if you're looking for it online,
I'll put a link to it down below this video.
Now there are dog puzzles as well, but I just heard
Pierre out back barking and had to wait to start recording
again so dogs, for all their great qualities don't strike
me as being the quiet, peaceful, serenity type of animal
that you would concentrate on.
I think my tea is ready to drink now.
The cup has gotten hotter, brief touch is okay,
or up above where the liquid is.
Fancy.
Actually, could use some sugar, be kinda cool if
they had yet another layer of this
that was a little sugar bowl and had sugar cubes.
Sugar cubes, when do you ever see sugar cubes?
But to take the sugar cubes and put in
a couple of lumps of sugar.
Valentine's is definitely coming soon so think about this
and get out there shopping whether you're getting
something cute and elegant or cute and puzzling,
$70, $17, the main thing is to go get something that
you put some thought into.
Now if you happen to be interested in this or think
this would make a nice gift for someone you know,
I'm actually going to give this puzzle away.
All you have to do is comment something about tea, or cats,
or valentines down below this video.
And let's see, we better do this soon, so on Monday
February 6, 2017 I'll pick one of the comments
right after the weekend and get in touch
with you if you think this would be a great gift to have.
Remember taking a sugar cube and putting it on the back
of your tongue and just letting it dissolve?
Where are sugar cubes these days?
I'll be back soon with other reviews, including some more
valentine reviews next week, in case you just can't decide
you can keep checking back for those or you can click
that subscribe button down below.
You'll get notified when our videos go out.
See you on the next review.
