Clothespin Trash Can.
When it comes down to it, all you really need is something as simple as the Clothespin trash can.

Appetizer Tray.
Love this aluminum appetizer tray. Not only does it revolve for easy access, it also has six individual removable plates that make it perfect for entertaining at small get togethers. Very Jetsons looking, dontcha think?

Tribacchetta 3-Legged Chopsticks.
Handmade of natural bamboo, these Tribacchetta 3-legged chopsticks are shaped like forceps and make eating Asian cuisine easy. Equally useful as a serving utensil for tiny appetizers! And I’m 99% sure I’d look way more adept using these than the usual suspects.

Nicobar Folding Tray Table.
I’ve come to the conclusion that I need a folding tray table. You just can’t go wrong with versatility like that. The Nicobar folding tray table from Ballard Designs is my favorite so far. It unfolds for easy set up and has a removable tray top with separate spaces for bottles and glassware. Entertainment on the fly – love it!

Bord Voor Een Kind.
Bord voor een kind was designed to become an extension of your already existing porcelain dinnerware as a child-friendly deep dish/plate with handles. But forget the kiddies – I want a set. I love the shape of the acrylic glass piece and think they’d make perfect pasta bowls.

Bentwood Coffee Cuff.
Formed around a take-out coffee cup, the Bentwood coffee cuff satisfies both form and function – the bracelet doubles as a java jacket! So fantastic. “No, I don’t need a cardboard sleeve. I’ll just use my bracelet, thanks!!”

Pyreness Wood Block.
The Pyreness Wood Block is great design with a purpose. To use just break a match off the block and scratch it along the base of the block to light. What I really like that the look is ever-changing as you use more and more of the 100 matches.

Mest Turkish Coffee Set.
Yet another standout from designboom’s design in 2015 competition: the Mest Turkish coffee set from Israeli designer Esli Alovi.
“A modern interpretation for a turkish coffee set which still maintains its traditional values. The tray integrates everything required for the preparation of the coffee, from cooking to serving, all in the dining area. The materials used are copper and ceramic.”

Jorre van Ast Screw-Ons.
Brilliant just doesn’t seem enough to describe how I feel about these screw on tops by designer Jorre can Ast. By screwing on plastic tops everyday jars are turned into vessels with a specific function. The family includes a sugar pot, milk jug, chocolate sprinkler, oil&vinegar set and a water jug.

Cheers Ring.
After the weekend I had I don’t have any business posting anything alcohol-related, but the Cheers ring is so darn smart. The perfect boyfriend or super-cool-girl-friend gift I’m thinking.
