Don’t have a clue what to get the family for Christmas? Give the gift that truly sparkles! Of course, we are talking about SodaStream! We were lucky enough to score one of these from SodaStream for testing here at Must Have Gifts; and we have to say, this really is a must-have for the family. Let us tell you why we think this is so great:

1. This totally reduces household recycling and waste, especially if you are like a lot of families and enjoy lots of sodas and sparkling waters. No more heavy cases and bottles to lug home or out for recycling. There is no electricity required to operated the SodaSteam, either!

2. Tired of companies that love to fill your kids up on high fructose corn syrup and other kinds of sugar overdoses? With this clever soda machine, you can make healthy sodas that the whole family will enjoy. Use your own juices and flavorings or use the great selection of natural soda syrups made by SodaStream. These contain no HFCS and you decide how sweet, or not, to make sodas for your family.

3. The Penguin Unit, which is the unit pictured here and the same unit we tried, comes with glass bottles that are dishwasher safe and free of the chemicals found in plastics.

Best of all, you decide how little or how much carbonation, sweetness and flavors you desire. This device takes so little space, even in a cramped kitchen, that you won’t regret buying it when you compare it to all of the space that bottles, cans and cases require! The best gift for the whole family this year is the SodaStream!
