My Favorite REFİKA’DAN Products that Make Your Life Easier 😍 GIFT IDEAS for the NEW YEARS 🎄🎁

[@pifarrell]

I bought the chef's knife 6 weeks ago. I have arthritis and have difficulty gripping the western type of knife handle, the handle on your knife is the perfect shape for me, nice and big and easy to hold. The blade is great as well, good and sharp, very well designed and for someone with arthritis, very easy to use, I love it.

[@azitazahedi]

Refika!!! I love how you have taken so much care to support Turkish artisans and craftsmen! You have a heart of gold. Also, you look so pretty in this video!

[@Refika]

Thank you so so much dear Azita ❤️🙏

[@monicasharma277]

I appreciate how you guys are doing so much for local and long forgotten businesses. It means a lot to those people 🌻

[@Refika]

It really is all we are trying to achieve.. 🙏❤️

[@lisaeastes3104]

It's great you support local businesses ❤ The products you have designed are smart and thank you for sharing!

[@Refika]

You are so welcome!

[@hsh4377]

I think it’s good that you talked about these products because it makes a huge difference between just selling products for marketing or selling handcrafted products to help the community to thrive. looking forward to hearing the story behind the other products in your Etsy store.

[@fahmidalutfullah361]

Hi Refika, I just got some of these products. I got the those lovely tea glasses you designed, the chef's knife, and the skewers to make kebabs. I was so pleased with them and with the quality, the packaging, and the instructions that came with the chef's knife. I plan to get the cutting board and other items as well. I have a suggestion as well if you don't mind. I am very interested in getting a çay dan lik as the one you used in this show. 👌👌👌 I wish you would sell those in different colours. We can buy çay dan liks here too from Turkish stores or buy them online, but I don't like those designs as much as the one I saw you using. Do you think you could make that available as one of your Refika'dan products on Etsy as well??? Would love to buy it!

[@sreeladevi1780]

Wud Luv2meet U in Turkey Refika cn i hav yr whatsApp/cellfone/address👌🙏❣️

[@jeanneamato8278]

I love your thoughtfulness and integrity. Also trying to keep old ways that are still needed.

[@Sherirose1]

This person is sustaining crafts by supporting the locals.She also has an artist's heart. I love small businesses' products. I feel the love, strength and presence of the craftsperson. I hope influencers in other countries do so as well.

[@Refika]

Thank you so much 🙏❤️

[@Chewie373]

I use your knife everyday . I love it. I'm almost out of your red pepper, which is so good and the olive oil is yummy. Making your recipes a lot and introducing Turkish cuisine to my friends here in Japan.

[@BattleGinga]

Sister! Your comment about GMOs and old ways made us feel so honored to have you on this planet.

[@mamabear1063]

Thank you for sharing. I really love everything you sell! I can’t wait to start buying your items, they all are beautiful! Greetings from Jax, Florida! 😊

[@MA-ts9qt]

Items are great.... however do not use aluminium stuff, bad for your health

[@mikkikas6821]

ANYTHING food cooking or baking related is a BIG help!! I'm here in Arizona, USA, watching your product line video you have . Some great stuff! I know modern technology can be a big pain, but it has brought the countries of the world together. Different countries still have their own unique cultures, but also, there is now SO MUCH shared lifestyles as well, making visiting another very much familar and like "home," and yet experiencing the uniqueness of that country. Like, no matter where you go, your at home. Thanks to KZbin we get awesome experiences from all around the world and from the comments people from all around the world are watching and gathering new ideas and information at the same time. We, in the world are no longer strangers. We have now become united To me this is HUGE! To me this is how it should be.This means to me putting differences aside as we are a lot more the same than different. Sure love watching your channel. Turkey is nolonger a place far, far away across the ocean, some place you've heard of and know exists, but now a very familiar and tangible country, a place I could sure spend some time at. So cool!❤

[@audreylenca]

You r wise 💫loved and agreed every sentence

[@karlanorvell9573]

Thanks for going over these products, it was insighful. I love that you have everything made in Turkey by small handmade producers.

[@Refika]

❤️🙏

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

I always find your posts entertaining, but I love this one. You actually DO something positive about situations that may seem small, but have a wonderful impact.

[@megantingen5997]

Refika, you are a genius with all that you have designed. Thank you for sharing.❤️🌷

[@anggieb.2936]

LOVE all the products! I especially love the glass, enamel wear, and plate and cutting board set. Keeping it on my wishlist for after the holidays!

[@VeretenoVids]

The "bench" the weavers work at is called a loom in English. I love handwoven towels!

[@sharakirkby2744]

Love all the gift ideas. The chef knife is my favourite and I have one of yours. It’s excellent!🎄💖

[@feedthecatplease]

Refika, I *knew* you were a GENIUS with a huge heart! Longtime student of Turkish art, language, textiles, food...I want to visit soon...❤ you've made me fall in love with Türkiye all over again...bless you. (I'm getting the cutlery sets! All of them. So elegant--yes! And those funnels.) ❤

[@dyutibasu4541]

The thoughtfulness and collaboration behind every single piece is amazing!

[@wordvendor1]

Oh, how exciting! I'm a new watcher, and I didn't know you had products! I love kitchen gadgets. Your tea cup looks like the perfect coffee cup! 💜

[@nahlahalqarawi32]

I came from Saudi Arabia to istanbul and went to your store and got your wonderful tea cups. Nw I took them to me all the way to New Zealand. I LOVE THEM!!

[@jaduvalify]

I feel lucky to own a number of Refika's products and the quality of each item is amazing! A few were gifted to me by family members. All of the knives on her Etsy site are exceptional and will be used daily in my household for many years to come. They are beautifully made. I compaired prices of chef's knives for weeks and Refika's are more affordable and better designed than what else I had found out there. The olive oil and the pomegranate sour are the best quality I have ever tasted. The funnel set is perfect. I have had only good experiences with purchases I have made from her Etsy store and will be collecting more of her products. They are worth every penny and reasonably priced. And I love knowing the purchases support traditional Turkish-made, quality, often hand made, very special products. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Refika and team! I appreciate that you share your wonderful food and beautiful culture with all of us!

[@MichelleDavis-n7p]

The original version of cutlery looks amazing! I love the attention to detail you’ve shown ❤

[@MichelleDavis-n7p]

I have literally been wanting to find funnels like that! I hadn’t found any before now. I’m gonna cry :😢 I hope your shop opens up soon !

[@garimagupta908]

I changed my mind, the cutting board is GENIUS! ;D

[@MichelleDavis-n7p]

I have never been so impressed with thought put into spatulas (of course most of us know we need something different, but 6 spatulas later ….)

[@beatricegalea9112]

What a great designer you are too! Love the way you explain everything and it’s importance. Thank you Refika, always looking forward to your videos 🌹❤️

[@valeriethorpe4143]

My sincere apologies I used the term “less fortunate”…I should have said craftsmen or artisan…forgive me 😎

[@lisaandcliveh1678]

Hi Refika You are a wealth of knowledge and I love that you share it with us. I absolutely love your channel and will be checking out your products. Thank you 🥰💕

[@ang5798]

Your designs are beautiful and look very well thought out! It seems you did a great job!

[@a.m.bluerose2568]

Please have a show about turkish tea and sell tea samplers of brands we can buy On your Refikadan.

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

After i got used to turkish textile i couldn't use anything else really. Because you can feel it is really cotton not some synthetical stuff that only God knows what exactly..

[@aloysioustwunt7956]

Can't believe you didn't include the triangular kebab skewers: they're an absolute game changer!

[@Refika]

You are right... I should have 😅

[@theoriginalquinnpiper]

I love the way you seek out Turkish artisans and products that may have become lost, and shine a light on them again ♥ I also love my "Refika knife" which lives in my kitchen in Massachusetts USA.

[@catherinemartina6469]

Beautiful towels. They are “absorbent”

[@guitardee1]

Just love your ethics particularly in regard to the grains

[@debk5427]

Love your chef's offset knife. My problem is having small hands. A 6" chef knife works best for me. 8" to 10" knives are just to large for me.

[@nonpathogenicb4183]

love your thoughtfulness, your big heart and your products!

[@mdrasel-my7by]

hi .......ধন্যবাদ রেফিকা, সবসময় আপনার ভিডিওর অপেক্ষায় থাকি 🌹❤

[@pandaman2105]

Refika! Have you made or are you designing any clay cups for fırın sütlaç?! I have a set of 6 from Amazon and two of them were broken in the box, so I only use 4 of them and always have too much pudding left over. I didn't see in the Etsy shop and I don't want to order from Amazon ever again. I would love to buy yours or do you recommend any other business where I can get some shipped to the US?? Ama bence senin kaselerini sütlaç yapmak için çok istiyoruuuz! 😂🥄💖💖

[@emreakal4435]

Dear Team of Refika, i would love to know where to find the tiles of Refikas Kitchenwalls in Turquoise, i have a summerhouse in Turkey and would love to have them too. Whats the name of it and where to find? Thanks a lot.

[@watercressfabrique3333]

Omg, Refika I went to the Etsy and it's full of amazing stuff!! Thanks for working so hard on these products

[@Refika]

❤️🙏🙏 thank you so much for appreciating!

[@TheElectricpoet]

I recently bought your chef's knife as well as a few other pieces from your Etsy store and they are all beautiful! The knife is an absolute revelation though, it's become my go to knife for how natural it feels in the hand, it's ergonomic and sharp. Though I own more expensive knives, yours is my top choice! Also love the chai cup.

[@swisski]

Seeing how much Turkish people love their cay, and their beautiful Gonlubol, reminded me of when I visited Morocco with their hospitality ritual of the Moroccan mint tea. Your comment regarding drinking whisky from the same glass reminded me so much of Whisky Maroccaine, as they call it also. Probably because the sweetened mint tea looks very similar to whisky, and being a predominately Muslim country, they mostly don't drink alcohol, but everyone drinks mint tea. I love the products you featured here Refika, and also the fact that you are using your platform to support local artisans and small producers! Much love to you and your team from New Zealand!

[@mariabenyahya7616]

I’m Moroccan and I agree with you 😌

[@mirel604]

Well done team. Well done! All is perfect!

[@nathaliericard8179]

What a wonderful video Rafika! I love love love your knife, it is my favorite. When you say you have taken a long time to create it, I totally believe it! It is, like you mentioned an extension of my hand, I love everything about it! I am keeping this in mind for the special friends around me that enjoy cooking as much as I do! It will be a wonderful present for them… keep on promoting your beautiful country and its artisans , keep on doing what you do, we love you❤️ and you team too! Big hugs From Canada!

[@carmenolaya7877]

Hello Refika, I really admire what you are doing because I care as well about my community, and by supporting my local farmers we can make a difference. I'll be ordering many of your products.:}

[@Refika]

thank you so much for your support 🙏

[@marguritemartin9683]

I admire how your to the point about all you do andsay

[@valeriethorpe4143]

I watch from Jamaica and have always wondered where I can get these awesome products… thank you so much for sharing with the world 😎…and thank you for always thinking of the less fortunate and their survival…you are a rockstar.. bless up…👍🏾

[@RM-lj8bv]

Fabulous, I love people who think out of the box to make things better.

[@tamcon72]

So, it's two days on from the posting of this video, and the Refika'dan Etsy shop is quickly running out of stock--congratulations! If you could update the show notes or pin a comment to let us know when you may restock these wonderful things, it would be so helpful. It's understood that these are artisanal products, so it could be that when they are gone, they are gone, but if you intend to restock eventually, it would create consistent interest. Thanks for featuring these carefully designed and made items, and ThanksForPosting!

[@Refika]

thank you so much... 🙏 if you can mail to [e-mail] with the product you are interested in, she'll give you detailed info on restocking ❤️

[@janetruh7476]

Refila! How wonderful, so many clever products & I love that they support Turkish Artisans. God Bless You! Love your recipes ♥️

[@Refika]

Thank you so much!

[@ecolifeca]

Love your products. Could you please let me know if you test you enamel dishes for heavy metal content. The problem with enamel, that lead is often used and in bright colors cadmium can be used as well, so if your dishes are heavy metals free it would be great and I would definitely try it 🤩

[@jongibbins345]

RAFIKA NOOOO !!! don’t EVER cut on glass!!! Very bad for your knife blade.

[@celitacantrill10]

I love the towels and the jar-thingys so you dont spill anything on sides. That is clever design.

[@sazji]

Şimşir is boxwood. I love it too! My housemate laughed when I brought home wooden spoons from my last trip to Turkey, but he used them one time and was convinced! Aside from those, I think my most-used Turkish implement is my little brass pepper mill with the cap on the bottom, which makes it easy to measure freshly ground pepper. Some of these things (offset spatula, canning funnel) are fairly available where I live, though many home cooks might not be aware of them. But I’ve never seen a cutting board like that, and what a great idea! The tombul tea glass is genius, and beautiful too. (I drink whisky from Turkish tea glasses too!) I also love the spice rack, but then you still need another place to store the rest of the spices. Because I can imagine the face of an Eminönü ahtarcı if you ask him to sell you 4 grams of pul biber…😱 Love your channel!

[@nasiramansoor9468]

I love your products but how can I get these sitting in Canada ?do you have an international Shipping system please let me know,I love old methods of cooking and using all the ancient utensils and spices..plz Answer Rafika

[@glencrompton8198]

To my delight, the knife of my dreams arrived today. It is magnificent. Beautifully crafted, Beautifully balanced, and a sheer delight to look at too. It feels like slicing with an extension of my own arm. As an Australian, I love that my purchase is supporting skilled Turks during tough times. Our countries have such a curious connection, born of conflict but cemented as respect. Thank you so much Refika Thank you for making this wonderful knife something that now holds pride of place in my kitchen, and thank you for providing me the opportunity to support your craftsmen, Oh, and thank you for the abundant tips and recipes I've learned from your channel.

[@nancymirzaian6451]

Can I tell you something Refika? … … … … YOU ARE THE BEST… 🥰

[@bobbyjones2911]

Hello beautiful chef 🌹! My oh my this episode was amazing,, and for me I loved everything you showed but my favorite was the chai glass 👏👏👏👏👏I'm giving you a standing ovation. Just like you I love my chai hot and no matter where I went shopping for a tea glass I couldn't find the right one 🙁! But now I know where to buy one 😌! And I love hearing about Turkish stories because my great grandparents were Turkish and it's good that we know something about our roots so I have no problem hearing about Turkey all day long 👍👍. And as usual always looking forward to the next episode,,always glad to learn something new and excited about what your team and you have come up with. Very talented team😘😘👍👍. Sending you and your team lots of love 😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️❤️ and I'll see you in the next episode 🤗🤗🤗 luv yah 💖💖💖💖💖!

[@Refika]

Sooo glad to hear that you liked the episode bobby! Thanks a lot for appreciating ❤️

[@heersyal2454]

You spoil us - so many great products to choose from!!! I will build them into my new kitchen piece by piece. I admire how you & your team have revived and supported traditional artisans, and even added modern touches. This is a wonderful way of preserving traditional arts and crafts, and they deserve to be.

[@KingsCrossVIP]

Congratulations Refika I love the way you help craftsmen and women become more sustainable by supporting their work and their great stories. I will go to your store now and buy some beauties.

[@aineetoor3876]

Hello 👋 All your products are great! But for us in Pakistan, the prices are too much high as 1 dollar=280 PKR. So 36$ means 10,080 PKR😢 Just an idea 💡 why don't you sell them in your own currency Turkish Lira!! So we can buy these beauties 😁 Much love from Pakistan

[@clintonjthurman]

I hope you are doing ok. All the news I see coming from Turkey isn’t great and we always think of you. If you need anything ask this community and we will help. Best to you!

[@Refika]

Wow... Such a heartwarming message that feels like I really do have a family here in KZbin 🙏 Thank you so much, it goes two ways❤️

Hahahahah….I would absolutely love to meet you before we get old. Refika, you have no idea how much joy you bring to our (mine, for sure!) lives. Thank You, Lord, for gifting us with Refika🙏🏻❤️

[@morthanalittle]

Oh heavens Rafika! I’ll take at least one of each!!! Such lovely, thoughtful products that slllook like they would add so much joy to everyday life. So lovely, wise and inviting thank you for the wonderful tour! 🙏🏼♥️Kelly

[@glee5659]

I love it! I live in New Zealand, I love your idea to bring the olden days good stuff back! Love it! You are such the kindest woman! Bless you, and your team, May God bless Turkey!

[@msladylalae4985]

Instead of "brown" one can say "cook it til it gets golden crispy" sounds more appetizing, huh? ❤😇

[@morthanalittle]

Oh! I forgot to say … I had noticed your knife in your cooking video and I’m grateful to know where it came from I will start saving my spending allowance as I would so adore owning one of your incredible knives one day. I have a lot of knives that have been in use for over 40 years but I have recently been looking at Japanese knives as they make some thin knives. I’m wanting. A mincing knife. Yours seems ideal. I’m so happy to have found you. Your zest for life and love of your people gives me more joy than you know. I adore you! 🙏🏼♥️Kelly

[@michaelamaestas4950]

You mean, a LOOM ?

[@knbKaren]

I'm in Canada and just want to say that I think it's fantastic that you're promoting small industry in your country, that I know was hit hard. I love the effort and your philosophy. I recently ordered your knife, I'm not sure how because I can no longer find the page, but it's supposed to arrive in 2 days. Fingers crossed. I realise that time has moved forward, but I hope you never stop pushing for small business in your country to thrive. Thank you for all that you share.

[@ali-kat1770]

Im so glad I found you and your products. Recipes you have a lovely personality. Will definately buy some of your tea glasses. I love them and your knife and your spice rack .l just love everything you presented. Ali from Australia 😘

[@cookinmum]

I am so glad I found you. I would love many of these products. I went to culinary college and now find my chefs knife harder to handle because of my age, your design looks perfect. I also love the cutting board. Now I must ask, I watch a you tube Chanel from Azerbaijan where the woman uses incredibly beautiful large and small enamel bowls. The flower design are so bright and happy, I’d love to get some like that if you one day also make that available. I love your food and have started converting my cooking to incorporate many of the foods you have shown. Thank you.

[@Lepa733]

Hi Refika, would you be kind enough to tell me where can I bye your Refika‘dan products in Germany. Thx!

[@reyfox7366]

Refika, pls make a video about tomato soup. Best tomato soup I have ever had was in Turkey. It's not like the stuff here in the U.S. . Thank you for all your efforts! I love ur straight out of the normal household kitchen. I get so turned off by fufu-type cooking shows. Keep going!

[@demiantheo1]

I recently bought the tea glasses. Really great, in size, shape and cuteness 🙂 @Refika's kitchen I noticed your Kettle, could you say something about it? It looks very elegant!

[@tephe9986]

Do you know when the spice rack and flatware will be available on Etsy?

[@latinspoonalanicaragua3738]

I am only watching this video now. I hope Refika reads it. I enjoy watching your show and girlfriend it's as if you read my mind. I'm trying to revamp my kitchen and I have been looking for some Turkish styles of different things. I am in Canada and one thing we Canadians complain of, is that companies from other continents seem to want to squeeze every bit of juice they can from us, things are overpriced. We are interested in paying the fair price and I hope you keep that in mind, imagine how much businesses these overpriced companies lose from Canucks who know better. Anyway, after spilling my heart out, I want to ask: do you suppose you can have a cutlery set made from nothing but silver with gem stones? I would love a bit of luxury like that for special occasions. The towels are one thing I'm after, but also aside from tea towels, can you produce bath towels? I'm also dreaming of loose beautiful teas such as rose, and other spices.....girl, I can go on for hours making my wish known but I will leave it as is for now....take care.

[@roulaaoude8948]

Hi there thank you for your beautiful channel. I need to ask a question but I honestly don’t want to come access as being rude! Why are the products on the Etsy so expensive it’s like more than triple the price in turkey I understand shipping cost but surly not $37 dollars Australian for one wooden spoon, I also know it’s hand crafted but still doesn’t make sense. Please understand I’m not trying to be rude I really want to know as I would like to purchase many item. Thanks 😊🙏

[@heli4630]

I bought/ordered a glass plate/trivet with geometrical pattern. A wrong pattern was sent. There are no papers or information included in package which would make a return possible. what do you expect me to do? This is the second time this happened. The first time I just accepted it, but I do not want to keep the wrong plate you sent. Please advise. H.Fink

[@sarahayettey4712]

I love your videos very educative, but one problem is that, part of the world where I come from Amazon and Etsy doesn't serve this part of the world, precisely West Africa, Ghana so how do I get some of your products, like the cutting board, enamel ware etc.

[@miiirchoo]

Can @Refika's Kitchen crew explain how exactly genetically modified crops are "so bad"? Since most of the crops that are in use today are already result of selective breeding from centuries ago, when there were no laboratories around and gene cropping techniques? Hence, them "organic" crops that "are the same as they were thousand years ago" are also result of gene manipulation by selective breeding.

[@michelewhite4262]

I looked @Your products on eBay...love all of them the knife is my favorite. But I'm on a fixed income so I'll save to get it and other things..love your videos...be well

[@nenasia6945]
