Bucket of ice? Check. Bottle opener? Check. Twelve-pack of Corona and limes? Check and double-check. Something to serve the lime wedges on? Uh-oh…

Wait! No worries. The Melted Corona Beer Bottle Lime Platter is here to the rescue. Phew! Now we can get this weekend started right!

Yikes! That is one spiky cat.

Be careful reaching for that wine–it looks like the Hand Made Designer Wineholder “Cat Kitten Pet” Wine Holder doesn’t want to share! Happy Friday the 13th!

Wine has been enjoyed for millennia. That’s a lot of lost drips and drops of wine. Put an end to the madness (and look good doing it) with the Crystal Wine Server. History will thank you. And it’s only $5.95.

When using barbecue sauce right out of the bottle there is little reason to pour it into a bowl before slopping it on the chicken and ribs. Why have an inbetweener? While emptying it out straight from the bottle might be fast, it’s not the best way to get maximum coverage, but slathering it on with a brush would do the trick. The Jokari Silicone Bottletop Baster lets grillmasters skip the mess and head straight to the good stuff. Just squeeze, baste and eat!

Finally an answer to the age-old question of whose water bottle is whose. With the Cool Gear Design-a-Bottle there can only be one answer: yours! As the name would imply, the bottle can be customized with photos, text and graphics by using the Design-a-Bottle feature on Cool Gear’s website. The bottle itself is double-walled and holds 20-ounces. I’m not going to register to find out, but I will assume they at least have some templates that are appropriate for people over the age of twelve. LOL.

Some truly rare wines are about to go under the hammer–and chances are they would survive even if that were literally true. Coming up in June, two bottles of champagne (Veuve Clicquot and Juglar) salvaged from a 19th-century shipwreck will be auctioned off. The apparently indestructible bottles are sure to fetch a hefty price.
