Screw-On Snack Spout Supports Sanitary Snacking
The holidays are here. The relatives are here. The snacks are out. And all those grubby fingers are touching everything! But lo and behold for the germaphobe there is a way to turn that frown upside down.
The Snack Spout for Nut & Candy Jars is an ingenious little gadget that turns an ordinary store-bought jar of nuts into a dispenser. Just screw on the gizmo and flip it over. Candy and nuts rain down into waiting hands with a simple turn of the knob. Now if they could just make one for the holiday dinner table!
Swissmar Dalla Piazza Delicha Automatic Tea Maker
Tea time! The Dalla Piazza Delicha Automatic Tea Maker + 12OZ. Halo Bistro Wide Body Coffee Cup + 4.5in. Cup & Saucer Demi Spoon not only comes with a bunch of tea stuff like spoons and saucers, but the darn thing can actually keep track of time too.
Featuring a “patented timing mechanism,” the automatic tea maker steeps tea (or coffee) and then lifts the steeping basket out of the brew when time is up. The timer can go up to seven minutes, which happens to be about how long it takes to read that product title. Good thing a nice cup of tea is worth the wait.
Rice Cube Squared
Rice goes with everything. The plain white grain (okay, okay; brown too) can be used in dishes originating from anywhere across the globe. But that doesn’t mean it has to stick to being mounded together into a hemisphere. In fact, for those seeking to mold rice into cubes, there exists at least two choices.
Above, the Rice Cube is a fun geometrical puzzle that comes together to make rice cubes. Below, the Kotobuki Mini Cube Rice Mold gives rice fans a similar option.
Either way, use the rice molds to transform rice into whimsical cubes that can be used for sushi or whatever else one can dream up. Or stack up as the case may be.

Donut Cam For National Doughnut Day From Japan
Members of the human species have evolved into creatures that have long arms. Why? To better hold up their cell phones for picture-taking, of course. However, it is not just the desire to reach higher than low-hanging fruit that has fueled this growth. As always, we as a species strive for more. Like donuts.
The Chocolate Donut Camera gives humans a new reason to reach for the sky. The clever contraption takes stills or video and includes five filters for Instragram-style fun.
We love the color filters and the donut can take stills and videos that will feel delightfully retro. You can also hang your “donut” on your bag or other accessory, and its true-to-life size will make it a fun trick to play on people in need of a snack.
Your subject matter will thank you, because really, what would you rather have pointed at you: a phone or a donut? Plus, there’s the added bonus of knowing that sometime in the future your descendents will thank you for helping to change the course of evolution. See? National Doughnut Day is important! Soon to not only be a worldwide holiday, but one that history will record as a turning point in evolution!
Zyliss Garlic Slicer
Oh, garlic how good you can be. Added to anything and your distinctive aroma entices. You can be smashed, chopped, baked or broiled. And let’s not forget sliced. ‘But sliced garlic can be difficult to handle,’ some might say. True, slickery little cloves try to run away. But not when enshrined in the Zyliss Garlic Slicer.
The garlic gadget consists of a food holder designed to contain any wayward cloves. Just peel a clove off the bulb, pop it in the contraption and slice away. Then fry, bake and saute for all to delight. And no worries, the base stores any excess. Better yet, the device is less than ten bucks. Sliced garlic, you belong in everything.
***Update 10/22/24: Some slickery little cloves must have run away with the product shown above. Not to worry, the OXO Good Grips Garlic Slicer is here for all your everyday garlic needs.
