Cheese Grater Light makes cheese graters almost stylish

October 15th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets

Alright, so I’m aware it’s a touch on the strange side to put a light inside of a bright orange cheese grater.  However, being a person who has a tendency to wander the house at night, it’s always nice to have a dim light going in the kitchen.  Then if you’re going to keep a light in the kitchen, you might as well make it a light that looks like it belongs in the kitchen.

It does make sense, but I realize that it does take a little extra work to justify it.  What doesn’t really help matters any is the price.  After all, one could pick up a light, a cheese grater and some orange spray paint and do the job themselves.  Items that could easily enough be done on your own always are more difficult to stomach the price tag.  This isn’t helping matters any though by costing you £29.00 or about $47.  It’s not a horrifying price, but it still seems like a bit much.  You can find yourself one of these cute lamps through The Conran Shop.

The Kaspa Nightlight

If you’re going to have a nightlight hanging out to scare away all those things that go bump in the night, you might as well be honest about why it’s being used.  With this you can declare to the world your ghost light is there to keep all the ghosts away.  He’s the friendly type of ghost that lights up your bedroom just enough while still allowing you to sleep.

Programmable Tea Thermometer and Timer

For some it takes years of toying to discover exactly how long to let their tea brew.  It’s made especially complicated by the fact that there are white, green and black teas.  Then to top it off there are loose and bagged teas.  All of that information changes how you handle things.  You also have to consider how strong you prefer your tea.  Instead of trying to remember how long for each type, you can have an electronic device to work it out for you.

The Cassette Tape Measure

For those of you that have to show off your music loving nature in everything you do, now you can even show it off in your tool box.  Instead of whipping out some tape measure with little to no personality, you can pull out what appears to be just an ordinary cassette tape.  That also means you can show your love of those good old mixed tapes that are no longer needed.

Rechargeable Wine Opener from Sharper Image

October 13th, 2009 by Mark R in Electronic Gadgets, Kitchen Gadgets, Miscellaneous Gadgets

00011166-z1Those who are wine connoisseurs and those who just drink wine every so often have one problem in common: the struggle of opening the bottles. Sure, you could use a corkscrew, but I have had instances where the corkscrew gets stuck, or worse, goes down the side of the cork instead of the center. Good luck trying to get the cork out then. Since technology is supposed to make our lives easier, perhaps it was time that someone invented an electrical wine opener. For some reason, I am not surprised that it is Sharper Image to the rescue.

The Recharageable Wine Opener come with a foil cutter that allows the user to press the top of the bottle, and then spin it for a perfect cut off the top. From there, he or she just places the Rechargeable Wine Opener on the cork, pushes the button, and the automated corkscrew drills right in. There is a video after the jump if you want to see it in action.

Frosted-Scroll-Solar-Powered-Lantern-300x300

There are a great deal of solar lights that go down with the plants and make your garden look that much better.   Well instead of sprucing up your plants, you can add a little mood lighting to your deck or porch.  This could even be used indoors, you’d just have to make sure it stays close to a window to get the full charge it needs to run.  It’s not your usual solar lamp that you find in someone’s garden, which is exactly what makes it so appealing.

Coil Lamp is light on materials

October 12th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets

If you’re not into the normal lamps that you can easily find for incredibly cheap prices, here’s one that’ll make people take a moment to understand what they’re looking at.  Instead of this being a lamp constructed of things like wood and a fabric lamp shade, it’s made out of its own wire.  Yes, the wire used to power the bulb is also the one the wraps around the frame to create the classic lamp shape that you’re likely quite familiar with.

Bathphone lets you talk away even while in the shower

October 9th, 2009 by Ally in Home Gadgets

Waterproof_Bathphone2

There are several times I make a point to disconnect from the world, which means no laptop, no phone, no nothing.  Just get away, even if it’s just for a little while, so that I can feel somewhat recharged.  It’s one of those things that I’ve found is necessary for me to function.  However, there are those that are the polar opposite of me.  They absolutely need to stay connected to the world, otherwise everything seems to fall apart.  Well for those that need that connection, there is now this bath tub friendly phone that will allow for you to keep on chatting even while you’re soaking in the tub.
