Salt & Pepper Power Battery Shakers
You can literally “power up” your meals with the Salt & Pepper Power Battery Shakers – these will come in interesting D battery replicas, and they’re not poisonous in any way whenever it comes into contact with your food. Definitely the way to amplify the taste of your spread, and whenever they run out of flavor power, you need not buy a new set for $11.99 – no sir, all you need to do is just refill them and you (and your tastebuds) are good to go!
To know just what the remaining level of salt and pepper are left inside the respective shakers, there is a transparent strip on the side to indicate the amount of “power”. One thing’s for sure – while it might not be able to provide juice for your electrical items, “recharging” this will happen many, many more times in your lifetime than your Eneloop batteries are able to provide. Definitely the perfect gift for the geek at home (and in the kitchen).
Tiki Pepper Grinder
Somehow, when I see the Tiki Pepper Grinder, it reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow and the many adventures that he went through, getting all exciting especially when he tries to run away from a tribe of cannibals (although there was not a single element of Tiki in the movie). The same kind of situation has also been depicted in many other adventure films, so why not bring home a little bit of movie magic into your dining room with the $15.99 Tiki Pepper Grinder?
Definitely the perfect tool to perk up your luau or party, where pressing the Tiki’s nose will start the inner mechanism that grinds pepper within. This is nearly hands-free, but you sure as heck cannot deny that it is hassle free! Just like the original Game Boy, the Tiki Pepper Grinder will be powered by a quartet of AA batteries, although I am quite sure you will replace those batteries at a far slower rate than those on your Game Boy.
Veggichop helps shred that veg sans electrical power
Don’t you think that sometimes, it is just nice to go back to the good ol’ days when there is no need to depend on this thing called electricity, and when you need to get something done, you do it yourself the manual way? The Veggichop certainly brings back memories of a mortar and pestle in the kitchen, with grandma pounding away on her family secret of herbs and spices to marinate that delicious chicken dish for tonight’s dinner.
Well, dicing up vegetables can be quite the challenge for those who are not quite used to it – but I guess this is where the £19.99 Veggichop comes in handy. It does not matter whether you have a working blender or not – but with the hand-powered blender like the Veggichop, nothing much will be able to stand up to it – as long as your hands have the energy to grind and shred your way through whatever you put inside.
It can whizz a wide range of produce from onions to ice, and since you are the one who tells the blade how fast it should go, you can get the right kind of coarseness according to your liking without relying on a knob with numbers printed outside. Not only that, this is also dishwasher friendly, making it one attractive proposition to have in the kitchen.
Electrolux concept laptop is also a stove
Electrolux has a Design contest every year, and I take it that they just love concept designs. This laptop is one of the more unusual ones.
I don’t know how practical it is, and you can see how easy it is to describe. It is a laptop that has a stove on it, for crying out loud.
The first thing I could think of was “where is the keyboard”? I was guessing that it needed a separate keyboard, preferably wireless. Yet I have heard that it has touchscreen computer touch controls. You better make sure the burner is off before you start to type.

Amco No Fuss Silicone Egg Cracker
Forget about cracking nuts – there is just something about whipping up a dish of fried noodles while throwing an egg into it for that added zest of flavor. While Chinese chefs are extremely adept at cracking open an egg using but one hand, emptying all of the gooey goodness into the hot work and throwing away the shell into a nearby dustbin, those of us who lack the finesse and experience will have to make do with a couple of hands, sometimes even cracking the eggshell in a way that some bits and pieces of the shell falls into the mix.
That’s no longer a thing of the future in your kitchen with the $8.57 Amco No Fuss Silicone Egg Cracker – this little puppy takes the fuss, mess and germs out of your egg-cracking activity. Not only that, you need not worry about fishing egg shells from the bowl, either, and since your hand never really touches an egg, it further reduces the chances of transmitting bacteria to and fro.
R2-D2 Ice Cube Trays
Who would have thought in a million years that a movie franchise such as Star Wars would end up being super profitable, never mind that the prequels that came out a couple of decades after Episodes IV, V and VI disappointed certain quarters? Well, the merchandise from the Star Wars universe over the years certainly added quite a handsome amount of dough into George Lucas’ bank account, and it seems as though this particular gravy train is not going to stop anytime soon.
The latest to roll out from the Skywalker Ranch would be these R2-D2 Ice Cube Trays, and the name itself is pretty much self-explanatory. These ice cube trays will feature the shape of everyone’s favorite astromech droid, R2-D2, where you will be able to freeze four small Artoos at once in addition to a large version, making it the perfect kitchen utensil to own whenever you want to throw a party for your friends who are absolute Star Wars fanatics.
At $9.99 a pop, surely this is not too much of a burden on your monthly finances?
Star Trek Enterprise & Shuttle Salt & Pepper Shakers
If you are a Trekkie or know one, then surely the $12.99 Star Trek Enterprise & Shuttle Salt & Pepper Shakers is the perfect gift idea. After all, you know that traveling across galaxies is virtually impossible at the moment with the kind of technology that we have, but what you can do is this – bring your taste buds to where no man has gone before, as long as you have good quality Himalayan salt inside as well as pepper from the freshest pepper seeds.
It is also said that the farthest distance is between the head and the heart, and as everyone knows, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach – so once you’ve got that secret family recipe down pat with the right amount of salt and pepper, surely you will be able to win your potential beau’s heart, no?
The set comprises of the Enterprise NCC-1701 and the Shuttle, where they are made out of glazed ceramic while sporting a magnet insert which ensures they remain docked together when no one else requests for them. Just remember to hand wash them and you’re good to go.
Maxim 2-in-1 Jug and Scales
For those who love cooking, surely you must have a plethora of devices and gizmos in the kitchen. Not only that, you are fully stocked up on all the cooking videos of the latest celebrity chefs. These tools are there to aid you in your quest to be the all conquering chef in the neighborhood, simply because you can’t stand your kid coming home and complaining to you that Joseph’s dad who lives down the street churns out the best hamburgers in town, and cooks a mean sirloin steak to boot.
Well, if you are missing a jug or a scale in your kitchen, or are looking for a replacement, what better time than now? After all, the Maxim 2-in-1 Jug and Scales will be able to kill two birds with a single stone – letting you measure not only volume, but weight as well in a single device. If you need to measure volume, just pour the liquid into the cup, taking special note of where the surface is on the side markings. This is pretty much dummy proof and works just like any other standard clear measuring cup. The Maxim 2-in-1 Jug and Scales is capable of holding up to a full liter – translated to the equivalent of four cups.
