Switch Pop Bottle Opener
If you’re macho and you know it, you would have scoffed at bottle openers, preferring to use your set of pearly whites instead. Wait a minute here, this is somewhat an oxymoron, since pearly whites and macho don’t go together due to all the booze and perhaps cigarettes that you consume. Anyways, that is just a small technicality, and one thing’s for sure – your teeth will not be there all the time, so do be prepared to wear dentures once your hair starts to thin, and that beer belly begins to show. Growing old does not mean you quit your drinking sessions with your buddies, but you might want to give that denture a rest from opening bottles, and start using the $19.99 Switch Pop Bottle Opener instead.
This 7″ long stainless steel switchblade-style bottle opener sports a solid weight to get the job done, while the pearlized handle adds a touch of class. Bear in mind that this is definitely not TSA approved, so leave it at home if you are going to take a flight the next time round.
Blade Preserving Knife Sharpener
The law of entropy sees wear and tear on the universe bringing things to an end, never mind that time seems to continue trolling on, laboring under the death of humans, animals, plants and star systems alike. Well, having said that, not everything is forever, except maybe for diamonds, but that is not what we are going to focus on today. No sir, we will be looking at the $149.95 Blade Preserving Knife Sharpener – which as its name suggests, is capable of prolonging the life of blades in your kitchen by removing the barest minimum of metal so that it can achieve a fine edge, ready for you to whip up a culinary adventure for this coming Christmas.
Other sharpeners are said to be different as they erode knives with aggressive grinding, but the interlocking ceramic wheels of this model will gently file a blade’s edge, ensuring it is preserved for additional years of use. This model is also a time saver, where it boasts of a single slot to make sure that both sides are sharpened simultaneously, where its ceramic wheels are suited for standard straight-edge knives and double-beveled Asian-style knives with angles smaller than 35ΒΊ.
Homemade Pet Treats Maker
For the majority of us, no one whips up a meal as delicious as mum, as dad tends to order pizza or put in TV dinners into the microwave. Well, as a dog owner, your four legged friend’s world comprises only of you – he or she does not have a favorite TV series, and neither can a Kong toy last him/her all day long. So why not forget about those preservatives laden dog treats in the market, and make your own dog treats instead? Don’t have the tools to get started? Hammacher’s got something right up your alley – the $59.95 Homemade Pet Treats Maker.
This countertop dehydrator will let you gain control over the quality of treats your pets consume, where it will gently blow warmed air through the five ventilated trays in order to gradually remove moisture from homemade foods that are made using only the finest ingredients of your choice. This will in turn preserve the snacks, transforming their texture into the kind of chewy, crunchy foods that will result in strong teeth, reduced plaque while adding a healthful supplement to a pet’s diet. Each purchase will come with a book of 25 inventive recipes to get you started as well, now how about that?
Espro Press project needs your help
Coffee lovers from our readership, your help is needed! If you want to be part of the innovation known as the Espro Press, it is currently being displayed at the Kickstarter page, being touted as a precision coffee brewer that is similar to a French press, although it does have a patent-pending two-stage micro-filter which is touted to preserve all of the freshly brewed flavors and aromas, while making sure all those nasty sediments will remain right out of your cup.
The single cup press was launched last year, and due to overwhelming response by those who kept on knocking back cup of Joes, the customers of the single cup press requested for a larger version, hence the Espro Press project that scales things up in order to deliver around 30 ounces of coffee, letting you enjoy more than a single cup or to share it with friends. The design itself is already ready, while the prototypes are complete – it is only short of money for a production run, and this is where your generosity is being appealed.

Coffee from a tap is now a reality
I know that some of us like nothing better than to knock back a tipple or two after a particularly long, hard day at work. I helps keep stress at bay, or so I would like to think so, not to mention help working at breweries as well as malt fields to keep their job in this multi-billion dollar industry. Well, some of you might like to drink from a bottle, but others prefer the smoother feeling of an actual tap, not to mention working on getting just the right amount of head in your drink.
As for coffee, the other multi-billion dollar industry, instead of getting your favorite morning brew from one of those super expensive coffee machines, how about doing it in the same way as that of a tap? Yes sir, you no longer need to shuffle bleary eyed into your kitchn each morning, getting your mornign glass of water from the sink, but rather, the Top Brewer will dispense of your favorite coffee into a mug of your choice. Let us see how it works in the extended post.

Robot Tea Infuser
Who says that robots will rule over us humans in the distant future? I suppose things will still remain the same, where we lord it over those digital beings. Otherwise, how else are you able to explain the $9.99 Robot Tea Infuser? Sure, they might have the relevant know-how in how to perform a whole lot of complex tasks, but what do they know about making a good cup of tea?
The Robot Tea Infuser will get the job done for you though – made out of stainless steel so that it will not spoil the taste of the tea that you’re about to drink, all you need to do is pop open his chest compartment, load it up with your favorite loose leaf tea, close it, and pour some hot water inside – waiting for a few minutes for the delicious brew to infuse. He comes with adjustable arms that will enable him to hang freely around your mug – now how about that?
Digital Spoon Measure
Since the whole world has become far more digitized today than ever before, it makes perfect sense for digital technology to permeate different parts of our life – including those at home, and especially for folks who love cooking, in the kitchen. While it might take years of experience to more of less figure out just how much salt or a particular condiment needs to be included in a dish, beginners would be greatly aided if they had some sort of tool – such as the £19.99 Digital Spoon Measure.
The name itself tells it all – it will eliminate the guesswork involved from all those “tsps” and “tbsps”, where it can measure just about anything – powders, granules, gels and liquids up to a generous 300g (or 10.58oz). Since it comes with a couple of interchangeable scoops, it doesn’t matter whether you are dealing with teaspoons or tablespoons. Just make sure you have a couple of AAA batteries around just in case it runs out of juice.
R2-D2 Nutcracker
You know that Star Wars is one of the most profitable movie franchises to date – just check out the kind of merchandise that this particular series boasts and look me in the eye, telling me that George Lucas isn’t one of the richer people around. The guy hasn’t milked this particular cash cow dry, with his latest (non-viewable) efforts resulting in the £32.99 R2-D2 Nutcracker.
We all know that R2-D2 is one of the hardier droids around, having escaped from many a tight situation without missing a screw. Well, this time around, the little droid that could has expanded his repertoire of tricks to one that scorned ladies love – being a nutcracker. After all, with the festive season coming upon us in just a couple of months, it makes perfect sense for this astromech droid to crack nuts in just seconds despite coming in a 7″ frame.
