The girls got me the ShamWOW for Christmas last year. And the Magic Bullet (except I believe it's spelled differently) is great for cooking. I use it mostly as a mixer, and sometimes as a chopper. You have to check it out. Now they came out with one that has a juicer. I've never wanted to juice anything, but man, now I do!!
I'm also one of those people that tastes the samples in Costco and then walks, trancelike, right to the freezer case to buy whatever it is that I just ate.
