Marvin Citrus Press.
The Marvin citrus press looks like it could squeeze some killer lemonade… and during it’s down time spruce up my kitchen counter nicely!

Hotcup.
Hotcup is a porcelain cup and saucer that works together to keep your beverage, well, hot. The saucer is quite literally wrapped around the cup and functions as an insulator. So delicate and pretty.

Can Strainer.
A can strainer. It allows you to drain canned goods with one hand while keeping everything in the can instead of going down the drain. And loads better than using the ragged metal lid you’ve just cut off. Simple design that every kitchen needs. Is it wrong that I’m considering using my cocktail shaker strainer in the meantime?

Coffee Cup Cookie Cutters.
These coffee cup cookie cutters are super smart. Punch out your sugar cookies with them, then after they’re baked and ready hook them over your coffee or teacup for presentation!

Repurposed Glass Pop Bottles.
I have a few glass pop bottles (NOTE: pop, not soda!) I’ve saved and like this idea for repurposing them. After cleaning the bottles well attach pour tops and house your dish soap, vinegar, oil or whatever else around the kitchen.

Ice Spoon Mold.
What an great idea for summertime beverages – Ice Spoon Molds! I love that they eliminate yet another utensil to clean. Of course they’d last about .5 seconds in this mad Oklahoma heat, but that’s besides the point.

Table Tap.
Can you imagine having a Table Tap sitting out to serve water at your next dinner party? Inspired by science (natch) and so much fun.

Weekly Menu Download.
I can hardly wait to print out a stack of weekly menu cards that a print a day is offering as a free download! If I don’t have things planned out grocery shopping turns into a nightmare really quickly these days.

Straw Straw.
The MUJI Award 03 gold prize winner is Straw straw by Yuki Iida of Japan and I couldn’t love it’s sheer brilliance any more. It almost can’t be described as design so much as ingenuity. Iida took something that already exists in nature an simply gave it a renewed purpose. Lovely.
The original meaning of the term “straw” was “wheat straw”. Wall art depicting people using straws of wheat to drink from have been discovered from ancient Mesopotamian ruins. Straws of wheat are forms created by nature; they are materials that return to the soil. There’s no waste in either the shape itself, or in its actual existence.

Paper Towel Tea Towel.
Blank notepaper has to be one of my favorite things. It’s just so full of possibilities and potential. This paper towel tea towel is sheer awesomeness.
