Kit-Cat Clock

Because I think it'll go good with the SMEG. And for no other reason. The Official Kit-Cat Clock. Pricetag: $39.99 [ Continue reading... ]

Eva Solo Fridge Carafe

The eva solo fridge carafe. Love this simple, classic milk bottle shape. I'm a sucker for anything retro. Am thinking about moving homes just to find a kitchen to fit the SMEG...which I don't have yet but will do soon. The mouth of the carafe is large enough for ice cubes and sliced lemons and features a flip flop lid that automatically opens when you pour. Best of best? It can be fitted with a colourful neoprene cover to keep the... [ Continue reading... ]

Samsung Hauzen Washing Machine

Don't cha wish your washer was hot like mine! If you're not channelling the Pussycat Dolls, you're doing it wrong. Take a look at the Hauzen Washing Machine.

Smart Plate. The Ukranians do it again.

Dr. Hryhory Chausovsky is the latest medical professional to jump into the weight loss arena. The Ukrainian scientist has invented a Smart Plate that stops overeating in it's tracks with clever one liners. Get greedy and load up on too much macaroni and cheese and sensors embedded inside this bit of gadgetry will trigger a "Stop right there" or a "Where's your will power?" comment. I'd totally buy one of these things. But I'd ignore it. ... [ Continue reading... ]

Smeg Refrigerator

Maybe a little on the large side as far as gadgets go, but pretty. And totally retro-tastic baby! A friend of mine has a Smeg Fridge. I love it and want to live in his house because of it. I'm also after an aga. Maybe a red one. Also comes in pastel. For the pinkophiles. Smeg Refridgerator Pricetag: $1,600 -... [ Continue reading... ]
