If you like snacking on dried fruit or jerky, you've probably thought about making some on your own and if that's the case, you should invest in the 3900B Deluxe Dehydrator by Excalibur. With nine trays and a total of 15 square feet of drying space, this Dehydrator has an adjustable thermostat that ranges from 95 to 155 degrees, meaning that it's completely safe for drying meat and fish for jerky. The fan, heating element and thermostat are in the back, bringing air in and evenly distributing it over the trays. According to Excalibur, the 3900B will dry your food quicker than other models, while retaining the nutrients and giving a richer taste. You can even take the trays out if you need to raise dough.

Who doesn't like chocolate? And, if you know of some people, you definitely should never trust them. For the normal folks in your life, consider giving them a decadent collection from zChocolat — or buy them for yourself. Their Holiday Diamond offering is currently available for pre-order (they'll be in stock on November 15) and is comprised of a rich-toned mahogany box full of three different 15-piece assortments. The boxes are handcrafted in the Jura region of France and has a golden inlaid crystalline snowflake on the lid. The chocolates are arranged in three layers: the traditional assortment with pralines, ganaches and caramels; the exotic assortment with pistachio, Sri Lanken coconut, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, Chinese ginger, coriander and violet; and a special praline collection with Piedmont hazelnuts, French walnuts and Dutch sesame seeds. They even throw in a mix of four white, two milk and three dark zChocolates. If you don't like what comes stocked in the box, you are free to customize it however you like. You can also add a message on the box and include a photo inside. I'll take five boxes, please.

My knife drawer is a mess and I'm continually shocked when I manage to escape cutting myself every time I reach in for something. This Déglon Meeting Knife Set is brilliant in that the knives fit together like a nesting doll, keeping those sharp edges flat with the stainless steel block they are kept in. To take a knife out, all you do is press down near the tip of the blade and the handle will lift up. Designed by Mia Schmallenbach and produced by Déglon, the set of four includes a paring knife, utility knife, chef knife, and a slicer. When taken apart, the bigger knives feature a hollow look, which is pretty cool in its minimalism. It also won first prize in the 5th European Cutlery Design Awards.
