Toddlers are quite a challenge when it comes to feeding time, which is where the My Plate-Mate for Kids comes in.

My Plate-Mate is a children’s teaching aid for eating that can be used with any 8″- 9 ½ ” plate. Imagine a product that could assist a toddler in learning how to eat with a utensil and plate, without the usual mess and clean up! Well, My Plate-Mate does that…It helps toddlers learn how to eat like a big kid, while minimizing the mess that comes with toddler meals. Children gain self confidence and are less frustrated during meals with My Plate-Mate.

Well, I guess anything that helps parents have an easier time when feeding their toddlers is always a plus point in my book.

This is a cool little gadget I received in the post the other day, the Orli Oven Glove.

You wouldn’t normally class an oven glove as gadgety but what makes the Orli different is that it’s made out of silcone and for storage incorporates a sucker to stick on your oven door.

You can read our experiences with it over on Coolest Reviews or buy online from the Orli Shop.

We have forks and spoons, and now here’s a brand new eating utensil known as the Knork. It makes the many millions around the world who love cutting food (especially cakes) with the side of their fork happy, and the Knork was specially shaped in order to cater to that habit. Plastic Knorks are sharp enough to cut through raw carrots, and from the picture above it apparently makes a pretty good opponent against a juicy slab of steak. One thing though - whenever I cut my steak, I’ll normally need a fork to hold the meat in place while the knife gets to work…something to ponder upon here. Watch the video of the Knork in action here.

How often have you thought to yourself “I wish I had an ice cube maker?” I’m going to guess that most of you won’t have ever had that thought. It’s understandable, since practically everyone owns a freezer, which makes ice cubes. However, if you need a lot of ice in a short while, you’ll be disappointed.

And around $100, it may be the most expensive too! But come on, it’s R2D2, man! The only thing that would make this cooler is if it doubled as a trash compactor with swiss army knife attachments.

Forget about projecting that macho image by learning how to open bottles with your teeth, not when The Hold Up is ready and willing to do that on your behalf.

Crafted from high gloss ABS plastic, The Hold Up is way ahead when it comes to sleek drinking accessories. And Like every girl’s ideal man the Redman is not only handsome but strong, his metal reinforced hands and arms ensure this chic little fella is nigh-on indestructible. Then, when you have given him a thorough workout, you can stand your new drinking buddy on his own two feet next to all of your favorite designer gadgets, because lets face it, he’s far too cool for the kitchen drawer.

If you don’t have a drinking buddy, The Hold Up won’t mind listening to your tales of woe for £14.99.
