Sharon Myoung and Tony Kim get so many points for the Sladle & Stabber. Let’s start with the name, which is undeniable genius. Then there is their idea to combine indoor and outdoor objects into a sort of hybrid utensil. Last, let’s not forget the overlook the crazy-smart design.
According to Sharon and Tony, it’s this easy to use:
1. Scavenge for a stick. Fight off a bear while doing so.
2. Shave/trim off edges(if need be) to fit snug into the diameter of Hexagon Nut.
3. Rotate & Screw to the neck of either utensils!

Food Sketches is a graphic diary of dishes Erin Jang has eaten. It immediately mades me think back to college design classes and reinterpretation assignments. A great example of less being more and food looking tasty no matter the medium.

Part of me thinks the Mobile Foodie Survival Kit is mind-blowing, the other part is mildly embarrassed of the first part. The portable kit includes Sea Salt, Black Pepper, Cayenne, Onion, Basil, Conventional Wasabi, Cinnamon, Oregano, Garlic, Thyme, Curry, Ginger, and Dill.
For foodies, nothing is scarier than being in a strange place where you’re subject to sub-par food. The horror! With this handy Mobile Foodie Survival Kit, you can doctor up even the most repulsive meal. Stocked with organic herbs and spices, plus indispensable extras like wasabi. Containers are unlabeled so they can be re-used for your favorite spices (separate key included).

This little Light ‘n Go Bonfire Log is brilliant on so, so many levels. Here are five to start you off.
1. You can burn the birch stump indoors or out, no fireplace or pit needed because it’s completely self-contained!
2. Totally affordable (for real).
3. It comes in two sizes that burn up to two hours.
4. It looks good while doing it.
5. Great for lazy people like me who have forgotten to make a firepit in their backyard for the four years they’ve own their home.
