Replacement bulb for Fiber Optic decoration
I bought this bulb to replace the broken one in my fiber optic snowman. It works great! I like that it has the cover over the top to protect the tiny bulb inside. The 2 pins on the bottom fit nicely into the socket.
Nice quality white plastic. Think enough not to crack or shatter. Very pleased with performance of the lid, even without a gasket. It holds liquids without leaking.

Powerful but disappointing
I loved the Back to Basics blender I had before, so I decided to purchase another. We make smoothies a lot, and this blender does have the power to crush frozen fruit and ice easily. However, I have a couple of complaints. The pour spout does NOT work properly. The spout is too small to allow thick smoothies to come out unless I manuall pull on the lever. Pushing a cup to fill it up with smoothie turns on the motor, and when the smoothie gets below half, it spashes up the insides of the blender, making it difficult to get out the smoothie. I also don't like the fact that the lid has to be locked on in order for the motor to run. Also, the motor is VERY LOUD, and sometimes smells like it is burning.
On the other hand, the blender is easy to clean, and I really like the stir stick that comes with it.
All-in-all, I say they don't make things like they used too. Motors and plastic parts (like appear to be in this blender) are not meant to take heavy use anymore without having to be re-purchased every couple of years.
