Oh I love this! Your little helpers are so cute.

Gina, great idea with the chopsticks. Love the chop stick helper. :)

The copper pan is beautiful, as are the copper scoops.

Who knew ginger could be bought in so many ways? Deb, you'll have fun finding ways to use those. The ginger chews sound delicious.

Enjoy!

That is a very neat package.
Definately unique!

I need to find those chopstick helpers. The boys are always trying to figure out how to hold them, and I agree the paper rubberband thing just doesn't work.

I just got some of those Ginger Chews at TJ's! Haven't even unpacked them yet. They are so, so good.

Great swap package Gina!

Enjoy your goodies with those adorable kids.

I just love all the copper things - beautiful choices Gina.

Deb, your description shows your enthusiasm! The "training" chopsticks - besides being something I could use - remind me of "training" waterskis - lol...

Stacy

Deb, those 4 helpers are keepers. They look so intent on what they're doing.

Gina... you really did do your homework. Very nice, love the copper.

Nancy

Super! the post and the gifts..you have adorable kids and a very pretty kitchen:)

Awesome theme! I adore those copper scoops! And the dipping bowls are so cute. (But I hate ginger, lol) That was an awesome package! Very clever and cute items!

I love it all, especially the helpers. Your littlest boy looks so intent, he's serious about this! LOL

I love the ginger chews and ReneeKY sent me a jar of that sushi ginger once. It's good right out of the jar, but I like ginger.

The copper is lovely and so are those little dipping bowls. I particularly like the creamy colored one, it kind of reminds me of a fish, for some reason.

The "training" chopsticks, though, they're my favorite and I'll bet your kids are going to eat EVERYTHING with chopsticks for a little while.

Enjoy everything Deb, it's a great swap box.

Annie

HA...I STILL use the chopstick helpers! LOL

Gina, the copper things are beautiful, as are your kids, Deb.

Whoa! Great Going Gina!!

Deb, you really scored! I have a set of copper measuring cups that hang on a copper placket with four hooks. I use them all the time.

Let us know how the training day goes with the chop sticks. I know that's going to be a fun meal!

I think of all your goodies I like the children the best! You can send them down for a visit? So very sweet! Are the girls twins?

Gina, you really put together something special for Deb. I would have been happy with the three copper measuring cups. They are going to look amazing in Deb's kitchen. Oh and those little dipping bowls - how cute are those. I like the easy to use chop sticks for the kids too.

Mother's little helpers are so cute.

Ann

I think maybe that package got sent to the wrong address. It should have come to me!! Everything in it is delightful. The dipping bowls are divine, and you can't beat copper for beauty.

Love your kitchen and your adorable children. I'd say you're probably a very busy lady, Deb. Very classy package, Gina.

Deb, What a fabulous package! Your kids are really cute!

Gina, Yes, you do Rock! Great gifts!

I'm sorry it was late! I started early - over the Christmas holiday - and I still was racking my brain over themes, etc. Finally it just clicked. These swaps really do make you smarter :-)

I loved the "training" chopsticks - I thought Deb's kids would like those.

Deb, you have the cutest little helpers!

I love the copper and dipping bowl group, I REALLY love the copper group.

Another great package! You did good, Gina.

What a generous package, Gina. I especially love the copper measuring cups. Are those 4 children opening a package without arguing about anything? They are adorable. They will have so much fun with those chopsticks -- very thoughtful Gina!

You have a beautiful family Deb !

Gina-what a delightful swap you put together--love the idea of the chopsticks group--fun & educational for Deb's whole family .

Diane

And more dollfaces. What cuties. (I think I'm ready for grandkids...)

I've gotten a swap package from Gina...she really knows how to pack a box!

Wow is right Deb. Love the theme. I don't think I can pick a favorite but those dipping bowls are beautiful then again so is the copper.

Your kids are so cute and very focused. I'm sure they'll love those chopsticks.

Great package Gina.

Tracey

Those helpers sure are cute!

Gina you really put together a wonderful collection of great things. I love your groupings and everything is just so Gina.....and that's a good thing!

Enjoy it all Deb : )

Wow, Gina really did her homework! Very beautiful package (and a beautiful kitchen too!)

Kids look like great fun! Bet they keep you busy.

janet

Thanks for the nice comments about my little helpers! I'll keep them a little while longer. They're still not much trouble...yet!

Gina sent so many wrapped up items, Matthew got tired of unwrapping after the first one and left! No worries. That left more for Michael, Lindsay and Gigi to open!! They were having a ball! Then of course, they wanted to help place the items for photographing. Yes! Four kids can keep me very busy! EVERYTHING becomes a group project!!

I've already eaten up one pack of the Ginger Chews. Oh, I love these! I'm scouring recipes so I can prepare a nice meal using some of the ginger, the chopsticks and the dipping bowls!!

Gina, again...thank you!!

What a wonderful package and wonderful children you have Deb. Gina that is a great assortment of gifts you put together. The big Chinese box is certainly a special container for everything.

I love those ginger chews too, and I know you'll enjoy using all the other ginger items (ginger is one of my three favorite flavors too and I use it in every form).

The collection of sauce dishes and chopsticks are fun too. I'll be looking forward to your report about using the cooking chopsticks and how your kids liked their "trainers".

The copper sets everything off so beautifully.

Have fun Deb.

Lee

What a creative and unique package! The helpers look like they're having fun. I love the copper scoops!

That's a wonderful package. I'd never heard of chopstick helpers -- sounds like something to be on the lookout for.

I love ginger, too, and that jar of minced ginger is wonderful. Makes it so easy to pop ginger into a recipe spontaneously -- which is the best way to experiment. I love the Ginger People and have bought a lot of their products. I think I need to look for this! (I spent too much time last night mincing ginger to keep in a jar of oil in the fridge -- so much easier to find it on a shelf already!)

Great package, Gina -- Deb hope you an all your helpers enjoy in good health!

That copper is so pretty! Deb, you will now be the envy of the neighborhood with that fabulous collection of chop sticks! Everything Gina chose is wonderful as alwasy!

Your kids are beautiful, too!

Linda

What a nice package. What a way to make someone's day.

Stacie

I need to find some of those chopstick helpers. Sebastian is actually quite good with chopsticks and has been since about the age of 2. however he needs the paper and rubberband thing, or the kind that is attached. However he has snapped several of the attached ones. He is a fidgeter.

I love it all!! The dipping bowls are beautiful, outside of the kids chopsticks I love the very first set in the photo. Something about that simple dot pattern really appeals to me.

Of course the copper is beautiful and it will look wonderful in Deb's beautiful kitchen. I love the photo of the helpers.

-Robin

What a nice package! Those chopstick helpers are a great learning tool. I always put the paper and rubber bands on the wooden ones for the kids but the helpers are way cool. The dipping bowls are fantastic, and I've looked at the picture 3 times so far!! Enjoy Deb. Great job Gina!

Love the dipping bowls, very unique! The copper items are great too and I could use the chopstick helpers. LOL Looks like the kids are having a fun time! Great package Gina!!

David

I loved it all! Especially the dipping bowls! So nice.

Gina you did a good job.

What a great swap box Gina sent! I know that ginger wouldn't last a week in our house. Of course your helpers are adorable, they're still at "fun ages"!
Enjoy it all1

Gina, fess up where you got all those treasures. We shop the same stores so I can kinda figure it out :-).

Enjoy Deb, looks like you got a great box (of course mine - receiving and getting are in that category too, bwahaha)!

Well the Penzeys was from Penzeys! Some of the ginger finds were from Tubac, Arizona. The chopstick helpers were a completely accidental find. I'll have to see if they still have any.

Well Gina, you DO rock! What a nice swap pkg! I love the chopstick helper and those dishes are awesome.
