That’s what we’re talking about with the American Popcorn Maker, where for just £29.99, you will be able to enjoy piping hot and freshly-made popcorn in the comfort of your home.

Self Stirring Electric Pot
They say that too many cooks spoil the soup, which is why it is advisable to have two cooks at most in the kitchen.

Fret not, the Self Stirring Electric Pot is here to save the day, and as its name suggests, this electric cooker will be able to automatically stir ingredients, freeing you to prepare other parts of the meal.

Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine
There is nothing quite like waking up early in the morning to a nice, steaming hot cup of coffee. Of course, it takes a seasoned hand to know how to make a good cuppa, but then again a good machine would also probably do its part in the process. The Guzzini Espresso Coffee Machine that will come in both red and white color choices is now available for pre-order, and it isn’t an April Fool’s joke when it ships on April 1st for £134.99 each.
You have got to like the SWITL spatula
Sometimes it is the simple things in life that you appreciate the most. For example, something that can clean up a ketchup or mayonnaise stain without leaving any trace evidence (for lack of a better word).
PoachPod for the perfect poached egg
You know these days, whenever anyone mentions the words “poached eggs”, all I can think off is the Angry Birds stage. I can’t help it, everywhere you turn, you see things that have to do with Angry Birds, ranging from movie trailers to backpack clips.
Chumby Gets an Update – He’s Back and Better Than Ever
We have certainly told you about Chumby before, and while I am a huge fan of what I have called a glorified alarm clock, it has always come up a bit short of spectacular. It’s a lot of fun, don’t get me wrong, but it could have been great. It just fell short of utilizing what it seemed like it had the capabilities of doing all along.
Salt & Power Shakers
The dining table often uses pretty standard fare for most folks, even when it comes to utensils and the ilk. Well, if you want to be different from the rest of the Joneses out there, you would do well to consider the Salt & Power Shakers. This unique set will definitely go down well with all those who have a bent for gizmos and geekery, and to cost only $18? Sounds (and looks) like a bargain to us.
Koziol Torr Corkscrew
Do you happen to hold plenty of parties at your home? If the answer is yes, then you might just want to look into purchasing, or at least, pre-ordering the Koziol Torr Corkscrew. After all, for £19.99 a pop, this unique looking bull lets you grab it by its horns, lift it and all you need to do is remove the corkscrew from his head and you’re good to go, drinking your favorite alcoholic beverage as you celebrate yet another milestone in your life.

Pop Art Toaster
Introduce some fun during breakfast time with the Pop Art Toaster, where it will come in a 1950′s inspired design not to mention cool-to-touch plastic finish with chrome accents for that added touch of class. Of course, breakfast will never be the same ever again with this, since you will be able to include inserts burns of “Bite Me” or “Ugh…” coupled with a frownie on your morning toast.
Ten Minute Frozen Juice Pop Maker
In this day and age, getting things done instantly is more often than not the top priority of most folks.

This could be why even your little ones want instant frozen ice lollies – now as a working mom, just how are you going to cater to that whim?
Sing-A-Long Tongs
There are some of you out there who love singing in the bathroom, while others prefer to sing in the kitchen instead. Well, if you’re the resident chef of your household, then you would do well to check out the £9.99 Sing-A-Long Tongs. Conveniently shaped to look like a microphone, they’re perfect for you to serenade the corn as well as other side dishes while you’re busy marinating some of the meat. Just make sure that while you sing, you wear a face mask over just in case your saliva starts to splash all over the place.
Powered Cheese Grater
Love all things cheese, and can’t get enough of that stuff in your dishes? Well, surely you would do well with the Powered Cheese Grater, as this unique device is capable of automatically slice, shred, or grate cheese. Boasting a trio of interchangeable blades that produce wafer-thin slices of Parmigiano-Reggiano, airy flecks of Pecorino Romano, or silky strands of Manchego, all it takes is a simple press at the top of the device.
Breville Radio Toaster offers hot music in the morning
Convergence devices are the rage these days, just put your hand in your pocket and pull out that iPhone of yours. With the apps and accessories going for it, it is much, much more than just a phone. Well, home appliances do some convergence as well, although not as much. Take for instance, the Breville Radio Toaster – the name alone gives the game away, where you can enjoy to your favorite breakfast of toast with marmalade, while tuning in to the wake-up calls of radio DJs on a station of your choice.

Don’t you just love words that rhyme? That’s what the Snack & Stack utensil set is all about, where $22 will definitely make your child’s dining experience a whole lot more fun and saving you plenty of frustration in the process. Sounds pretty much like a good investment, no?
Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker
Back in the days where there was no such thing as a rice cooker, you had to figure it out through experience. How much water do you put inside so that the rice doesn’t end up as porridge? Just how long should you cook the rice under a stove, and when do you turn off the fire? All of those survival skills are more or less lost because of the advent of the dummy-proof rice cooker.
Tardis Mug for Dr. Who fans
Love time traveling? Then the Tardis Mug is the perfect drinking accessory for you, although you won’t be using this to guzzle down beers, but rather, sip your favorite hot beverage. This Tardis-style mug will definitely have the Dr. Who mood, since whenever you pour some hot tea or coffee in it and then take it somewhere cold, you will be able to enjoy watching steam pouring out of it. Heck, it looks so real, it even comes complete with the St. John Ambulance badge as well as white notice on the door.
Death Star Cookie Jar
The Death Star is a symbol of the Empire’s power in the Star Wars universe, and often brings with it a sense of dread to all inhabitants on planets of which comes into the purview of the Death Star. Nice to know that the wonders of miniaturization has resulted in this rather delicious looking Death Star Cookie Jar, where this officially licensed ceramic sculpture will hold as many of your favorite cookies as it possibly can within its 12″ diameter of a body. While all the energy stored in those cookies will be unable to blow up a planet, at least it will send your appetite to the dogs once you’ve stuffed yourself with a few hundred grams of your favorite cookies. At $49.99 a pop, it is far cheaper than building an actual Death Star, and we would recommend to keep this out of reach of children lest their clumsy hands send it crashing down to earth.

Face Mug looks different
Now look at this mug – it is definitely a totally different design from what you’ve seen before, as it will surely make your guests sit up whenever you serve them coffee with this. The Face Mug, as it is obviously and affectionately called, might cost a rather pricey $18, but at least it comes with a hungry mouth orifice that allows you to hang a cookie from it, making it ideal for serving milk as well as cookies, or you can always opt to throw in coffee and doughnuts if that’s your cup of tea (pun not intended). Of course, there is no provision made to contain those crumbs as you chew on the cookies, and it won’t be able to hold as much coffee as some of you might prefer. At least the white ceramic in which it comes in can be artistically painted over by the more enterprising of folks out there. Read the rest of this entry »
Saw & Trowel Cake Serving Kit
If you happen to have a taste for the gruesome, then the Saw & Trowel Cake Serving Kit might just take the cake – pun intended. After all, there is nothing quite like getting the right tools for the right job, so the next time you want to celebrate someone’s birthday, the Saw & Trowel Cake Serving Kit will certainly come in handy, although if the birthday boy/girl is rather young, it might result in some disturbance of their psyche down the road – you can never tell, can you? This rather unique cake and serving set will come complete with both a stainless steel hand-saw knife and trowel cake server. It would be interesting to see people bake cakes around this theme, designing them to be sawed instead of cut with a knife. This is going to be one satisfying renovation process, that’s for sure! Sporting gold painted wooden handles and metal, it will cost you $28.99 to bring this into your kitchen. Read the rest of this entry »
Color Changing Fish Hot Water Bottle
Animal activists will probably scream blue murder when they come across the Color Changing Fish Hot Water Bottle, but this £9.99 purchase will not feature live fish inside, but fake ones that will change their shades depending on the temperature of the water within. No longer do you need to make a guess on whether the hot water bottle will scald your fingers or not, as these plastic swimmers will turn white if the water is too hot, or purple if the water has turned extremely cold within. Their natural color would be pink, so you can let your eyes do the judging from there. An interesting purchase for the safety-conscious who do not want to end up with unnecessary burns. Bear in mind that it is recommended to use hot water with the Color Changing Fish Hot Water Bottle, and not boiling water. Read the rest of this entry »
Toast Strips Stamper
There is nothing quite like having some toast early in the morning for a hearty breakfast – assuming you have all the other accompanying cast like bacon and eggs, of course. Well, for some of us who prefer just plain toast with some butter or jam, don’t you think cutting it up into bite-sized pieces makes life a whole lot easier? This is where the Toast Strips Stamper comes in handy, where you rock the stamper over the yet-to-be-toasted slice of bread, throw it into the toaster (the bread), and when it is done according to your liking, just pull it apart – it is that simple! Those with a culinary eye will definitely find the Toast Strip Stamper to come in handy when creating dip-able toast, crust-less peanut butter and jelly, French toast strips, and fun party sandwiches. All for $3.99 a pop? We’re getting hungry enough to buy one – or a couple, already. Read the rest of this entry »

Indoor Pressure Smoker
What happens when you merge a pressure cooker with that of a smoker? Well, the result would be the Indoor Pressure Smoker, where this device is more than capable of cooking barbecue brisket in but an hour, making it work five times faster compared to traditional methods. This device is capable of increasing the internal pressure by 15 psi, where it will help cook food up to 70% faster while causing wood chips to release their fragrant, flavor-enhancing smoke. In its internal chamber, it requires all of three to five wood chips (which are not included, so take note) to impart authentic barbecue smoke flavor onto food, with all of the hot smoke being contained inside the vessel until the pressure is released. There is also an adjustable four-level rack which will hold up to 4 lbs. of food, ranging from sausages and ribs to an entire chicken. The pressure smoker will also cold smoke cheese or fish, where it can then sear food prior to pressure smoking. Sounds like a delicious gift for those who have kitchen flair at $199.95 each.

Chickenborg Egg Cuber
Going against the grain often takes time, energy and effort. Unfortunately, sometimes doing so for the sake of being different isn’t really that wise – after all, why fix it if it ain’t broke? Well, the answer(s) to this question might just surprise you, but we’ll leave the philosophical thinking to the comments section while we help you see the whole point of the Chickenborg Egg Cuber. As we know, most eggs come in an overall oval shape, and if you decide to have hard boiled eggs, peeling open the shell would reveal a similar shape underneath.
Cuisinart Soup Maker – Coming soon to a table in the USA.
I LOVE soup, its like the perfect food. The problem is, I’m guilty of eating a bunch of canned soups, which with all the salt and fat in them it kind of negates just how wonderful soup can really be for you.
SAECO XELSIS DIGITAL ID – the coffeemaker that cares
Okay, so I’ve been married for over 10 years and usually I’m the one in charge of making the coffee. Unfortunately, to this day, I still have to ask my husband how he likes it. I suppose if I thought about it, I would remember, but who has the energy at 7 in the morning?
Automatic Nut Roaster
No, wives and jilted girlfriends should get the idea of the Automatic Nut Roaster out of their heads if their previous husband/partner have had other flings outside of what was supposed to be a monogamous relationship. This isn’t meant to roast any bodily parts (no matter how strong you feel to do so), but will rather be a whole lot more suitable for that lovely and ideal Christmas family setting. After all, it is capable of roasting, stirring, and glazing nuts automatically. Boasting a 1,000-watt integrated heating element, it is capable of producing even heat across the entire cooking surface while reaching temperatures of up to 375º F to roast one cup of nuts in seven minutes. There is an internal paddle to automatically stir nuts to ensure they cook evenly and are thoroughly coated with any seasonings or glazes. The roaster itself comes with a non-stick cooking surface, a durable plastic lid, and stainless steel paddle, where all of them are hand-washable. Don’t like nuts? Make popcorn instead – it can serve up to 6 quarts of delicious popcorn. The Automatic Nut Roaster can be yours in time for the holiday season for $49.95. Read the rest of this entry »
Tipsee Wine Bottle Task Light
Two things just don’t go together, alcohol and trying to function when it’s pitch black where you’re at. That means that pouring that glass of wine is going to get a whole lot more tricky when your hands are unsteady and you can’t seem to spot the rim of your fragile wine glass. Thankfully, Tipsee is a tiny little task light to aid you with your drunken nights.
Candy Floss Maker
Everyone loves candy floss, don’t they? That’s the impression that we have here anyways, and it comes as no surprise since the love for candy floss can safely be said to have been “integrated” into our lives ever since we were young. Take a look at all those fun fairs that we bring kids to – isn’t the candy floss a permanent fixture? Well, you can now enjoy your very own candy floss right at home with the £34.99 Candy Floss Maker. This idiot-proof contraption is so easy to use, you will be able to sink your tongue into funfair-style candy floss within minutes. All you need to do is add regular caster sugar and flip the switch on, it is that easy. The magic begins when the machine heats up, spinning the central head to force liquid sugar through its tiny perforations. The moment the threads of sugar come into contact with air, they will cool down and re-solidify, turning into a web of sugary threads. If you’re planning to throw a party for kids anytime soon, the Candy Floss Maker might be something you want to consider. Read the rest of this entry »
Hard Candy Cotton Candy Maker
If you’re craving cotton candy in December you’re pretty much out of luck, that is unless there happens to be a circus in your area. Otherwise, you’ll have to wait until it warms up again for the festivals and fairs to show up again. Unless you happen to purchase yourself your own cotton candy machine. Then you can have it whenever you want without leaving the comfort of your home.
Best Countertop Ice Maker
Want to throw a party for your family and friends, and don’t want to take any chances that you might actually run out of ice that night simply because you took the number of drinkers at your place for granted? Instead of being embarassed that there isn’t going to be enough ice to go around, why not pick up the Best Countertop Ice Maker instead? This device is capable of making the most ice in the least amount of time during testing, churning out 18 1/2 lbs. of ice in eight hours. That might not sound like much, but it is 56% more than a lesser model, while all it takes to cough up a 12-cube batch is 8 minutes. It is also one of the quieter models out there in the market, making a mere 24.8 decibels of noise when in action. Using it is more or less dummy proof as well, since all you need to do is fill it up with water, choose the ice cube size and press the button to get going. Capable of freezing ice cubes in three different sizes, it will cost $249.95 to reside in your kitchen. Read the rest of this entry »
Personal Soup Chef
Chop! Chop! The Personal Soup Chef is perfect for you to get your favorite soup recipe going in no time at all.

It is capable of simmering broth at the optimal temperature to make nearly two quarts of homemade soup with minimal human intervention. Inside the soup cooker lies food processing blades that will slice vegetables and gently stir ingredients as they cook. Nice to see the manufacturer throw in a digital timer as well, letting you set it up to 24 hours in advance so that the cooking process can begin even when you are not around. Depending on the soup that you’re cooking, the temperature can be automatically set from 104º F to 248º F to simmer or rapidly boil the contents. There is also a removable basket that keeps herbs, meat, or stock bones immersed in the soup as it cooks yet enables you to easily strain them from the finished dish. Expect to fork out $149.95 for the Personal Soup Chef to fill up hungry stomachs at home. Read the rest of this entry »
Deni Cordless Electric Gravy Boat
Whenever you’re serving dinner, gravy is notoriously the first thing to go cold. That’s no fun when you’re dying to dive into some steaming hot mashed potatoes and find yourself left with lukewarm mashed potatoes after the gravy has been poured on top. Thankfully it turns out there’s an electric gravy boat out there that won’t require you to trip over any cords.
Heat Changing TARDIS Mug
It seems that the next big thing when it comes to mugs these days would be for the ability of such mugs to change their color or pattern whenever some hot beverage is poured within. Not wanting to be left behind the times (Dr.Who has always been pretty forward looking after all), the Heat Changing TARDIS Mug will show the TARDIS sitting calmly in London – at least until you decide to pour in hot liquids. London will then disappear, where the TARDIS is suddenly seen as floating in outer space, now how about that? Each mug can hold up to 12 ounces of your favorite beverage, letting you drink to your very own (literally) out-of-this-world adventure conjured by your imagination. You can pick this up for $10.99 if you’re interested. Read the rest of this entry »
