Handmade Coconut Wood Wine Glasses
Traditionally, for some reason, people like to clink glasses together to celebrate a toast. But what happened before that? Well, they clunked glasses together to celebrate a toast, of course!
Now, you too can celebrate the past, present and/or future with these Handmade Coconut Wood Wine Glasses. The come in a set of four with each one measuring 6 inches tall. Perfect for celebrating any occasion by toasting with wine, champagne or coconut water as the case may be.
And to be fair, the drinkware probably does not ‘clunk’ during a toast. But, sounding like a horse clopping is another thing all together! Cheers!

Handy Salt and Pepper Mills Hand Over The Spices
Hands down, the most important spices are salt and pepper. When used properly, salt and pepper always deserve a round of applause. In fact, any chef not using salt and pepper should not only be given a wag of the finger, but also a slap on the wrist — and then be taken away in handcuffs. Good thing a handful of salt and pepper is never far away.
You gotta hand it to these Handy Salt and Pepper Mills, they really come in handy around the kitchen. Before, during and after cooking a meal, these handsome salt and pepper grinders handle the seasoning task handily. Available as a lefty or a righty, the hands look like an artist’s articulated model, but with the important distinction these hands are handing over the spices. Pretty neat. I’d sure like to shake the hand of the person who thought of this.
And yes, they are handmade.

Wooden Robot Nutcrackers From Suck UK
Little known fact: wind-up robots are powered by cracking nuts. Proof of this is clearly seen above as these two Robot Nutcrackers wait for instructions. Who knew the eventual robot uprising would be so delicious?
These beechwood ‘bots are suitable for cracking small hazelnuts and almonds or large walnuts and are available in Small Red or Large Blue
. Luckily for us humans, it doesn’t appear they have automatic operation quite yet, so they’ll need to keep us around for a while to keep feeding them.

Alphabet Fridge Magnets
Whoa! That is some kinda word up there! Spell it out and it says “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.” There’s only one way I know how to pronounce that: ab-ca-def-gi-jeckle-mi-nop-kwer-stoov-wix-iz!
If you are interested in getting this most remarkable word ever seen for your refrigerator, luckily it does come in magnet form. However, be aware, for some reason these
Alphabet Fridge Magnets come as individual letters. (It must be because it is too long to fit on the refrigerator door as one word!)

Cutting Board On Top Of The Kitchen Sink
Above is seen a Wooden Cutting Board for Ticor S205 Undermount Kitchen Sink . It is available in walnut, cherry and maple, with variations within.
Be careful when ordering as the product description differs from the title and the photo. Same thing goes for the Wooden Cutting Board for the Undermount Single Bowl Ticor S315 (maple with 3 Walnut strips). Although it looks like the same seller has it consistently described for the Wooden Cutting Board for the Undermount Single Bowl Ticor S505 (maple and walnut Split)
.
Just a friendly PSA about the top of the kitchen sink from Beyond The Kitchen Sink!

Beer Goggles Meet Whiskey Shades
These sunglasses by Shwood are called The Bushmills. And for good reason: they are created from White Oak Bushmills Irish whiskey barrels. Handmade in the company’s Portland, Oregon shop, the glasses feature distinctive styling to go along with optical quality Carl Zeiss lenses. Of course, considering their provenance what you see while wearing them might not be so clear. In any event there certainly aren’t a pair of sunglasses more appropriate for a Friday night!
