Serving chef-brain soup
Zombies may always in style, but this chef hat doesn’t contain any brains. Sorry. Well, unless you put them in yourself. In which case you might be a zombie. But if that were true, you would have no need to purchase this Revol Porcelain Chef Hat Server, because you can just go out and get your own—with brains still in it. However, chances are that if you are reading this, you are not a zombie, in which case it would be perfectly appropriate to pick up either the Large (with a 5.25-ounce capacity) version or the Mini (1.75-ounce capacity), and fill it with whatever your (hopefully beating) heart desires.

Wine holder doesn’t try to stay upright
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!

Noodle cup puzzle feeds your noodle
Finally there is something to do while waiting those three agonizing minutes for Cup Noodle to finish rehydrating. The Cup Noodle Game takes the iconic lunch staple and transforms it into a puzzle game. Utilizing the always-in-fashion technique of having something blow up in your face if you don’t finish in time, the timed puzzle game sends ingredient-themed puzzle pieces flying if you don’t get it right. Even though it is life-sized, just don’t try it with a real Cup Noodles. Comes in three flavors–easy (Seafood), medium (Classic) and hard (Curry).

The Weeble Wobble of wine
Go ahead and get tipsy: it’s okay. This Weeble Wobble of wine will hold you up. The Rocking Carafe, available at Drinkstuff uses a silicone base to keep it from falling down. They say the “generous base encourages maximum wine oxygenationâ€, but I just say the 2.5-liter capacity carafe is the perfect accompaniment for those late nights. Two and a half liters is three bottles of wine after all.

Mind the tea: Steeping in Zen
Zen Buddhism teaches us to be mindful. Certainly, part of the lesson of mindfulness is learning to not tromp around like a bull in a china shop. Clearly, when using this particular teapot, that lesson must be observed.
Delicate in nature, this Bonjour Zen Glass Teapot with Glass Infuser makes for an elegant display of tea service. The integrated infuser steeps loose-leaf tea, while the included wooden stand prevents stains by raising the teapot off of the table. Tea, as is life, is fleeting. Enjoy it while it lasts, or breaks—whatever the case may be.
