I Am A To Go Cup

I Am A To Go Cup from DCI.

I am not sure what I like best about this I Am A To Go Cup design. First off, there is the name. No mistaking what this thing is. Then there is the little liquid container that screws into the cap. Clever. One can keep wet ingredients away from dry. Then, to top it all off, it comes with its own fork – and the kicker is that the cap acts as a utensil rest to boot. Nice design all around. Perfect companion for that paper cup that isn’t — just keep it straight which one is which.

Burger In A Bento Box

Hamburger Bento Lunch Box

This two-tier Hamburger Bento Lunch Box would make for a nice way to transport a cheeseburger. Put the burger on the bottom and the buns on the top and by lunchtime they won’t be a soggy mess. Or put rice and veggies in it like you are supposed to, but that wouldn’t be any fun now, would it? It is a burger lunchbox after all.

Wine Cork Candles

Wine Cork Candles

Mood lighting sets tone and ambiance — important ingredients for fine dining. If you are going to do something, do it right. Like making the Wine Bottle Chandelier from the other day. But that is just the start.

When it is time to turn the lights down low, all those leftover empty bottles can still be put to use. The Wine Cork Candles offers the perfect complement to the case of bottles that got used for the chandelier construction. Just don’t make the mistake of using the bottles of the chandelier to hold the candles–melted wax hardly makes for a delicious dessert.
