Wine holder doesn’t try to stay upright

Grape Wine Bottle Holder

Perhaps after a long weekend, you have no interest in seeing a wine bottle. Then again, considering that wine hangovers are relatively benign, you may just be interested in having a spot to store those demon bottles ’til next go around. Such as the case may be, the wall seems a good as place as any. The Grape Wine Bottle Holder mounts to the wall and stores bottles horizontally with no concern for gravity. Hopefully not with the same lack of concern for gravity that was enjoyed on Saturday night.

***UPDATE: And they all fall down. This wine rack didn’t make it. Product no longer available. Might as well pick ourselves up off the floor and get started again. Or let these cute little Wine Bottle Holder Grape Gnomes do it for us. Cheers!

Bamboo filter holder clears up the morning

RSVP International Bamboo Coffee Cone Filter Holder

Coffee making in the morning needs to be as simple as can be. What later in the day is easy to accomplish is not so when just out of bed. Even eliminating one step in the coffee-making ritual can keep morning mishaps at bay. The path of destruction caused by stumbling from the freezer for the coffee and then to the faucet for water, and then to the cupboard for the box of filters can be reduced by simply leaving the filters out by the coffeemaker.

However those little filter boxes can be ugly, all open and hanging out like that. Pass on the cardboard decoration and move on up to wood. The RSVP International Bamboo Coffee Cone Filter Holder is small, made from an eco-friendly material, and streamlines those foggy mornings. At $9.99 it’s a small price to pay for a little morning clarity.

Stale snacks snap back

Copco Bag Caps

Even with all the preservatives and salt that gets tossed about in snack foods, they still don’t fare too well when left out in the open. A stale potato chip or pretzel that has lost its snap need no longer lurk in your pantry. Put those poorly closed bags in the past and move on up to these Copco Bag Caps. Available in Round or Oval for all your snack saving needs, the bag caps snap easily onto your favorite junk foods healthy bulk items.

Eclipse Wine Rack begs to be stared at

Nambé Eclipse Wine Rack, designed by Neil Cohen.

Designed by Neil Cohen, the Nambé Eclipse Wine Rack is only for the brave. While I doubt staring at its curvy structure for too long will cause any permanent eyesight damage, your heart however, may be another matter.

I’m just not sure how comfortable I am with storing wine that is supported solely by the neck of the bottle. Good thing I don’t have any high-priced varietals hanging around to test just how sturdy it is. Or $200 in my 3-bottle wine rack budget for that matter. However, it certainly looks cool; just don’t stare at it for too long.

Banana Split brings bunches of bananas to the countertop

Umbra Banana Split by Jason Nip

Not only do bananas belong in bunches, but they also belong hanging from a tree. Since most of us can’t find the time to tend the banana groves in our backyard, we need to find alternate options for banana bunch hanging. Enter the Umbra Banana Split. A nifty little banana hanger, the design by Jason Nip features styling in white and “mellow yellow” for that all important banana appeal (ahem).
