With the cold weather coming and the holidays, we were looking for a new pair of slippers that would be fun and festive. These elf slippers fit the bill perfectly.

These slippers come from the Aldi men’s line. The name evokes all kinds of upscale fashion, but since it’s Aldi, we just figure it’s stuff for men to wear.

For the holidays, Aldi was offering these slipper and since we needed one to keep feet warm we decided to try these out.

At first, they took a while to get use to, with the little bells ringing all the time, it is definitely different than regular slippers. They are warm and soft. Walking around the house, and even some outside, they do their job on the heals, thanks to a decent amount of memory foam underneath.  They are also lined above and around the foot, so they keep the heat in pretty well.

The slippers are also really durable, as we have been wearing them around for the past two weeks to try them out.  We will see how they last through the holiday season.

What do you like to wear on the holidays?

Choose from five waffle shades to create the ideal level of crispness.

Countdown timer tracks cooking progress

  • 5-setting waffle shade selector
  • 2-slice Belgian waffle capacity
  • LED lights easily display the cook setting

I enjoy this waffle maker because not only does it make the perfect waffle, but there is just about zero clean up! Every other waffle maker I have used makes a mess and requires a lot of wiping and cleaning and has over spill even when using the proper batter amount. I love the timer that pops up when you choose light/dark setting. This is the easiest waffle maker I have ever operated as well. It’s so easy to use anyone can operate it! I further love the locking mechanism.
