Sticking Sushi On The Fridge

DCI Gifts Mini Sushi Magnets

How do you tell when sushi is done? Well, if it weren’t a trick question, one might take the spaghetti approach and throw a piece at the fridge to see if it sticks. In the case of the DCI Gifts Mini Sushi Magnets, it would. While that method may be tried and true, as any college kid will tell you, the test spaghetti doesn’t always make it off the wall and into the trash. Modern art has to start somewhere. But anyways, back to the fish: sold as a set of ten, the refrigerator magnets offer all of the fun of having fish stuck on the fridge, but without any of the associated smell.

Four Friends And Bottle Of Wine

True Fabrications Wine Glass Caddy

A bottle of wine is always enjoyable when shared with a friend, and as such it is quite easy to carry a bottle and two glasses in hand. More the merrier, you say? Well, carrying three glasses in one hand with the bottle secured in the other shouldn’t present any difficulties. Oh, wine for four? Well that might require a bit more dexterity. Or the True Fabrications Wine Glass Caddy.

Securing directly around the neck of said bottle of wine, the helping hand makes it easy to lug all those glasses from the kitchen to the living room. Of course, it begs the question why one of those other three lazy, good-for-nothing guests couldn’t get up off the couch to lend a hand, but hey, look at the bright side: the wine accessory can be used as a drying rack when your ungrateful guests don’t lend a hand in the clean-up.

Make Like Monopoly While At The Grill

Grill Charms Charmed Life Collection

In Monopoly, everybody has their favorite little game piece. In that game, nobody wants to get stuck being the wheelbarrow (the car, clearly is the best) but when it comes to grilling, nobody would mind being any of these little tokens.

The Grill Charms Charmed Life Collection is a set of six stainless steel markers designed to allow people to steak (ahem) their claim to their preferred meat at the grill. Like Monopoly, the choices are not always obvious to how they pertain to the activity, but like the thimble or shoe, you can still play the game. The choices are: palm tree, sailboat, four-leaf clover, crown, martini glass and dollar sign grill charm. Not sure which one is best, but I’ll take the one that marks a nice, juicy steak.

Have A Ball With Your Water

Nature has done a great job in giving us the cool, refreshing, life-sustaining beverage known as water. But that doesn’t mean we can’t make it better. The Jokari 229241 Water Infuser Ball is a simple way of improving upon Mother Nature’s best. The small ball is meant to be filled with citrus and/or herbs and then placed in a pitcher of water, infusing it with new and exciting flavors. Lemon-flavored water may be a rarity out in the wild, and now finally—like having nature at your command—the delicious beverage can be yours. (Without those pesky lemon slices falling in your glass.)
