[$10] Because it’s about damn time someone did this. Han Solo Carbonite Ice Cube Trays are just about the coolest thing besides carbonite itself… which may or may not actually be cold. Only time will tell. (more…)

[Splurge: $860] Easily one of the coolest knife sets we’ve ever seen, the Deglon Meeting Knife Set is four knives that appear to be cut out of a single block of stainless steel. Sure, it’ll cost you as much as a year at community college, but a good knives are worth the price. (more…)

[$14] If you’re like us, you walked into your kitchen this morning and thought to yourself, “You know what would really class this place up a bit? A couple of bears humping.” Well guess what? The Humping Bears Salt & Pepper Shakers are here, and they’re just what the doctor ordered. (more…)

Even if they don’t quite fit your style, you’ve got to admit they make great conversation pieces. (more…)

[$20] If you saw the image above and wondered just what the hell you were looking at, chances are you’re not alone. Turns out it’s a nifty little gadget that the innovative folks over at Quirky have picked up to help you clean those counter-top messes. They call it the Portotrash. (more…)
