Don't worry she has me on here ordering stuff now too :p

Did you get yours yet? or you just ordered? i saw someone asked where they are made, one said China (hope not!) and one said Spain, but they are not made in Germany. :( I knew it was gonna be too good to be true for made in Germany.

Noooooooooo are you serious :confused::confused::confused::confused:.

I'll just return them when they get here :(.

Got Maisy the Dinair makeup air brush and extras about 40% off on their site.

Had to buy another h20 x5 mop because the flood clean up company broke mine, got it in white this time newer model more acessories on HSN for half the price.

Got Milo the whole starter pack and expansion base plus a free t shirt of Skylander (I've been broken down its a video game that's not strictly educational) on a random big video game site.
Santa got us the P something 360 video game console from an eBay seller.

Derik got some adult game pack and the 360 knex bundle from Target.

Got a load if Green Toys for Marek and my BFF's kids from a local store, but they posted a Cyber Monday code on their FB.

We're really scaling back and sticking to things we will actually use, less is more. The sales combined saved up about $300+ off items on my list.

I have to say it was hard to stick to the list though I spend like 7 hours between sites and browsing!


Derik had better of dropped some $ on brilliant earth!!!

I should add HSN is sooo bad!

First time on their site, then I watched their channel, also for the first time.

I used to whine and complain about grandma watching QVC...

It's so addicting! Everything looks infomercial awesome!!!

Well I guess when you get them, look to see what it actually says on the box. So far I have found only the steel is made in Germany. But more people stating they are made in Spain and only one person saying China. Spain makes quality stuff too, but still, not Germany. :(

Good thing our cable is out. I'd be tempted.

blahhh i'll check when they arrive. :( But thanks for the heads up!

Zwilling J.A. Henckels is the "Premium Brand" that has existed since 1731. All of our TWIN (Zwilling actually means TWIN) brand products, such as TWIN Cuisine, TWIN Pro "S", and TWIN Four Star II are from this brand. You can tell a Zwilling J.A. Henckels product from the logo which is the "two-man" logo. Most Zwilling J.A. Henckels TWIN brand products are made in Henckels factories in Germany, and a few like TWIN Cermax M66 are constructed in Japan.

J.A. Henckels International is our "Value Brand". These products are designed for the value conscious consumer who wants a quality product to handle their everyday needs. You can tell J.A. Henckels International products from the "one man" logo. J.A. Henckels International products are mainly manufactured in Henckels factories in Spain and China. Products from this brand include the Classic and Forged Synergy knife series, Classic Clad Cookware, and Premiere Series Flatware.

Every product we sell will display either the Zwilling J.A. Henckels logo (TWIN logo) or the J.A. Henckels International logo ("single guy"). The cutlery series from both brands have a lifetime warranty.

The other question seems to be concerning the steel used in manufacturing products. All Zwilling J.A. Henckels (TWIN) knife series, besides TWIN Cermax M66, are constructed using high carbon, no-stain steel which is Friodur ice-hardened for maximum corrosion resistance and blade strength. This high carbon steel is from Germany. TWIN Cermax M66 knives are constructed with microcarbide powder steel surrounded by clad material. J.A. Henckels International cutlery is constructed with different types of German steel as well. Series like the Classic are constructed with carbon, no-stain steel, while series like Fine Edge Pro are constructed of German stainless steel.

Thanks for that! So this particular one we are talking about is either made in Germany or Japan with German steel. That's a great bargain then!

hmmmmmmm very interesting. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I used to sell Cutco actually, and I use my demo knives to this day...let's not say how long but it's been over a decade.

I will NEVER buy any other brand, not because I sold it but because I have used itand know about it.

Didn't do any "Cyber" shopping..... I really like looking and putting my hand on items.... especially clothing. It can be a hassle to send things back if it is something that you don't want. I am sure there were some good deals though.

That's how I feel usually too, but I have a kind of peculiar style in clothes that you can't find at malls and chain stores. I like to shop on online shops that give free return shipping as well, so no worries. :)

I feel duped...

My last x5 mop was made in Vietnam...the new one is labked made in China!

Dinair is adcertised as made in France...the air compression unit is labled Made in China...only the make up is made in France!

Not only that, but just bc something is made in say Italy, doesn't mean it's an old Italian artisan working in a quaint little cottage. A lot of Chinese immigrants are going to countries like Italy and working there, for less than an Italian would work for. Same old story.

Very true, nant countrirs exploit workers.

I boycott China because I don't like their government, I fail boycotting India over our egyptian cotton but Indian is horrid about child labor.

I felt I was comprimising my China boycott enough with Milo's skylander stuff.

At least we exceeded our Made In USA shopping by double our goal with local goods for out of town family, shopping at a few local (community center ) events, green toys but I'mstill feeling semi disapointed atm.

The thing is about these shop local things, many times what is used to make the thing still has parts made overseas.

There's a small gift show here in Los Angeles. It's called Unique LA. It started as a "hand made, local made" show for artisans to make stuff and then sell. Have the local public come and buy their wares for gifts before Christmas. Great idea right? I was even thinking about buying a booth there to showcase and sell my stuff. I ended up not getting one, and not attending either, but someone I knew went and she got a bunch of stuff. (She's not an artisan, she's more of a crafter, so I guess she doesn't really see how things are made into quite as much detail) She was wearing some jewelry that she bought at the show. I asked her if she made it, bc I recognized all the components of the jewelry as stuff from Joann's. All of it was made in China. So how is this local, hand made? Someone just went to Joann, bought a bunch of stuff and strung it together. That's not Made in USA.

Obviously I don't weave my own fabric, but I want to know where it's from. Just bc I sew it up in the US, doesn't necessary mean it's made in the US unless ALL the components that went into it were also made in US.

Man I am so rant-y today aren't I. :rolleyes::cool:

Oh and another thing! The stuff I ordered on Cyber Monday just barely got shipped out on Friday! One order didn't even go out until today! A whole week to just get it out of the warehouse! All these companies must have made a killing, bc we were pretty slow over here.

Had anyone gotten their Cyber Monday orders yet? I'm still looking at a few more days, prob the end of this week. =/

I keep posting Made In USA stuff we bought this Christmas on my FB page hoping it will spread.
Yeah some of local stores do that too, like the "all local" baby store a town over sells baby legs and they are made in china-sad I love rhem got several as a gift.

Humboldt is BIG on local stuff I went to the Humarts Fair this last weekend all local artists who allow some out of town traveling artists in based on where they buy their materiala if its foreign it has to be proven fair trade certified.

Community center in Arcata did another amazing Christmas show all local products, Fire &the Light, Holli Yashi etc.

A lot of locally owned stores here either do Made In Humboldt Christmas stores or have the sections year round, to be fair I'm kind of spoiled living in an area where so manu local goods are so readily avalible and fair trade, ecofriendly etc items are common place.

Never fails though...the other stuff always gets snuck in!
