You’re still recovering from Christmas. Why blow the bank? Serve him breakfast in bed - stamped with this little reminder. If I weren’t cold and emotionally stunted…I would probably even try this. I mean, you’re not gonna find anything any cheaper. Know what I’m sayin???

These are kinda cute, but to be honest what I really want is one of those automated robot type vacuum cleaners that will do all the work for you. Just turn it loose on your way out the door and when you get home in the afternoon, instant clean.

The Kone Vacuum. Karim Rashi, the Kone’s designer, doesn’t think design should be about solving problems alone, but about rigorous beautification of our built environments. I guess. Sold me on it anyway. Now, if it could just turn itself on…

It looks like a giant Pepto Bismol bottle and I care 0%. The Big Chill Fridge. I want it. I’ll also take one of those tiffany blue looking boys too. Because, you know, Tiffany. Also, I feel certain having this in my kitchen would inspire me to use my stove for something other than storage space.

Maybe. Maybe not. But it’s worth a shot.

After spending Christmas with the family - first time in eight years, mind - I’m taking up a collection. The ideal post holiday gift. Saving for Therapy Piggy Bank. Sans piggy. Of course.

It isn’t exactly a girlie gadget but we couldn’t resist this one. This piece of gadget goodness is highly functional especially during these hot summer months when flies drive you mad when you’re trying to enjoy a nice barbeque.

I’m especially drawn to it as I recently purchased two “natural” fly catchers and managed to kill them within hours due to my poor ability to grow anything in my garden.

I really don’t get the whole Hello Kitty Phenomenon. But, you know, some people do.

Pass the wine, the candles and a little light reading but don’t call it romance - don’t you dare - it’s relaxation.

I’m sure there are couples out there who like to bond in the bath. But I gotta tell ya, if a guy ever tried to crawl in the tub with me I’d whack him over the head with a loofah brush, drag his limp body from the room and lock the door. Bath time = Me Time. And don’t you forget it.

Enjoy full underwater sound with The Stereo H20 bathtub. Get ‘enveloped’ in music direct from your iPod, CD/DVD player or, if you’re anything like my mother, your eight tracks.

Once, when I lived with a house full of guys the washing machine went on the fritz. I blamed Paul for over stuffing it and Martin for just not knowing how to use it. Repair man came and pulled this little wirey thing out of it. The guys (repair man included) had no idea what it is. I knew full well - my underwire - but pretended I didn’t.

BraBaby is a wire frame contraption that keeps expensive bras, especially underwire or padded ones, in shape and protects them in the wash. Get it here.

So the MOOL Toaster doesn’t toast very well. No matter. I’ve not done toast since the low carb revolution. Come to think of it, I’ve not done much of anything in the kitchen lately - I use my oven for storage. So, dysfunctional Turkish appliances suit me fine.

I should probably point out that Atil Kizilbayir’s latest gadget is not the safest thing in the world if you live with small children - or anyone else who may feel inclined to reach out and touch the pretty lights. Burn!

Mool Toaster Pricetag: Sorry. I can’t be bothered finding out.

Because I think it’ll go good with the SMEG. And for no other reason.
