For the uninitiated, Breville from Germany has been reinventing the modern kitchen countertop for the past three years. This is clearly designed with the serious tea drinker in mind, but for the rest of us, its beauty alone is enough to justify its $250 price tag. Don’t be fooled by its cosmetic success; [...]

This bar in a bag is designed in partnership with celebrated bartender Jim Meehan. It sports elasticized pockets and tools essential to the craft. It’s a “picnic for players” but if you’ve got seven hundred dollars to drop on a picnic basket you’re probably ahead of the game. ($740) Buy It [...]

This is not your average impulse buy at Home Depot BBQ Grill. Made from a repurposed whiskey barrel, the Whiskey Barrel BBQ Pit ($950) features a metal interior and rack to keep the barrel from burning, and, well, not a lot else, except for the satisfaction that comes from grilling something in a whiskey barrel while [...]

What we love most about the Puzzleboard by OOOMS is its versatility for entertaining. Each board can be used on its own as a cutting board or serving plate, or link them together to serve baguettes.

Taking its cues from plotter printers, this conceptual toaster challenges one of the oldest kitchen appliances around.

Time will tell if the novelty wears off or if this is a successful evolution of toasters. [...]

Open a bottle of wine and end a bar fight in two moves with the Knuckle Duster Corkscrew. A direct contradiction to people who think wine is for sissies. This hardcore barware offering from thinkgeek says you mean business and that you came to party. At thirteen bones ($13) everyone should own one. [...]

Is this innovative design or is this a gimmick? Can’t it be both? My guess is the novelty of having laser illuminated water might wear off within a few hours of installing this crazy fixture, but hey, that’s what guest bathrooms are for. With this LED fixture you can transform any faucet [...]

A familiar city scene of people out and about. Commuters with mobile phones and brief cases scurry along the rim. Round they go unaware of the empty volume above them.  Printed in England.  A pair of glasses are packaged in a white gift box.  Hand wash only. Go see it Digg Stumble Upon Del.icio.us Buzz
