The Watermelon Keg Kit

The Watermelon Keg Kit by Final Touch

Watermelons. It’s not like the big, funny-looking fruit needs any more help to amuse us, but still, it doesn’t hurt to try. Especially if our amusement involves enjoying a tall, cool one.

Fill it with wine, fill it with booze, fill it with soda; The Watermelon Keg Kit plays no favorites. And when the watermelon tap turns into a party-pleasing fun drink dispenser, don’t forget to bust it out again in the fall when everything tastes like pumpkin anyway.

Back To The Daily Grind With Fred

Fred and Friends Daily Grind Pepper Grinder

After a long weekend, it can be hard to go back to the daily grind. But, it must be done, so we go forth into the day and look that workweek right in the face — and sneeze in it. With a pepper grinder, that is.

Pepper may make us sneeze, but it also happens to be a delicious spice. Putting a new twist on getting pepper from peppercorn to plate, the Fred and Friends Daily Grind Pepper Grinder offers a charming way to fend off those workday blues.

As the pepper mill grinds the spice, the bodies and heads of the restaurant staff get mixed up; the chef, wine sommelier, waiter and patron all become one. Bright and colorful, the whimsical beechwood kitchen tool offers a fun way to get back to the daily grind — by facing it head-on with a handful of pepper.

Catch And Release Yolk Fish

Silicone YolkFish Squeeze Fish Lips Swallow Release Egg Separator Cooking and Baking Tool Yolk Fish by Peleg Design

Whoever said imitation is the highest form of flattery wasn’t living in the digital age. As soon as the Quirky Pluck Yolk Extractor showed up on the crowdsourcing site, the copycats got in on the action. Now there are tons of yolk tools available. (Here’s what a yolk search in the Home & Kitchen department on Amazon will get you.) While the original yolk extracting design was elegant in its simplicity, it lacked any pizzazz. And it looked nothing like a fish.

While the original idea for the egg gadget was clever, the Silicone YolkFish Squeeze Fish Lips Swallow Release Egg Separator Cooking and Baking Tool by Peleg Design takes it (and its product title) one step further. The idea of using a fish to fish for egg yolks is certainly cute and the egg separator does offer a fun whimsical shape, but at the price they are asking for it, the thing might as well be shaped like a cash cow — at least until the next thing wanders or swims along.

Sea Waffles Waffle Maker

Sea Waffles Waffle Maker

What do you think of when you see a waffle? A dolphin? So smart you are! A crab? Who doesn’t think of crab when they think of waffles? A sea horse? Well, of course!

The Sea Waffles Waffle Maker understands. The little clamshell appliance serves up dolphin, crab and sea horse waffles quickly and easily with none of that fishy smell. Just pour in the batter and in moments the little fritters critters will be ready to eat. Because everybody knows syrup goes better with waffles than sea food.

Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Spatula

Oh those wacky minds over at ThinkGeek. The good news: the Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise Spatula is less than 25 bucks. The bad news: it’s not available yet. The better news?

Donut Cam For National Doughnut Day From Japan

Chocolate Donut Camera

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!
