Snacking That Ends In A Draw

Tic-Tac-Toe Plate

Perhaps more so than any other game, tic-tac-toe ends up as a draw. However, when using the Tic-Tac-Toe Plate don’t expect snacks to go unfinished. Featuring square and circle one-ounce indentations (the circles won) the ceramic platter makes for a unique serving device—or at least one where everybody can end up a winner.

The Shakers That Wobble

Wobble Mini Grinders

Everybody knows that it is impolite to play with your food, but what about condiments and spices? Well, at least when it comes to salt and pepper, it seems to be okay. The Wobble Mini Grinders encourage mealtime fun with their rounded bases. At the table they may pose as a mundane accessory, but just try not to set them rocking. If they’re anything like those Weebles of yore, it might take until the end of the meal to knock them down.

Napkin Dispenser Saves A Trip To The Fast-Food Joint

Stainless Napkin Dispenser

There can any number of excuses in order to justify a fast-food trip: accessibility, speed, price, napkins…. Wait. Napkins?

For the few people who frequent fast-food establishments to stock up on napkins, there is a better way. Without resorting to thievery, you too can mock up your kitchen to mimic your fave fast-food eatery. The Stainless Napkin Dispenser looks remarkably similar to one that may be found in any restaurant across the land. Spring-loaded and shiny, the familiar tabletop adornment dispenses napkins from either side. At a price of only about ten bucks, it’s reason enough to avoid the greasy burger shack.

Although, the salt and pepper shakers are not included, so maybe one more trip is in order…

Rosenthal In.gredienti Offers Fun Design In A Plate

Rosenthal In.gredienti 10 1/4" Deep Pasta Plate

Plates are often pretty boring; just a flat circular serving device solely meant to hold food. Except they are not really flat. Practically every plate has a raised edge to it; otherwise all the food could easily fall off. But that’s where any design aspects end. Usually.

The Rosenthal In.gredienti 10 1/4″ Deep Pasta Plate makes for a stunning presentation with its twice-fired porcelain construction. Featuring a fun indentation that offers functionality, the plate can be used for so much more than pasta. From breadsticks to hot sauce (just imagine how that would look filled with a healthy squirt of Sriracha), the serving plate offers an additional dimension to the joy of eating. Not to mention it’s is microwave, oven and dishwasher safe.

Win Friends With Salad

Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker

Homer Simpson, the sage of a generation said, “You don’t win friends with salad.” While this sentiment might be all well and true, perhaps it is time to consider the salad dressing as the source of all the missed connections. After all, the stuff you find in a bottle at the supermarket in no way compares to homemade. The problem is, while it may be easy to whip up a batch of oil and vinegar, storage and serving usually requires a little more effort.

The Oxo Good Grips Salad Dressing Shaker may not actually win you any friends, but you certainly won’t lose any either. Featuring a wide opening on top, and cup, milliliter and ounce measurements marked on the sides, the salad shaker makes it easy to make your own salad dressing. For serving and storing, the watertight accessory has a flip top lid that lets you shake, serve and store all with one container. And of course, you could always use it as a marinade shaker for meats.
