If there’s one thing I can’t stand, it’s a vegetable that lets itself slide.  With the Perfect Peeler from Kyocera (wait, don’t those guys make phones?), your fruits and veggies will never be the same.

This state-of-the-art peeler from the island of Kyushu, features a zirconium oxide blade which stays sharp 10 times longer than traditional steel blades (I wish my Mach 3 used those instead of ripping my face apart after the second use).  The Perfect Peeler’s rust proof blade can rotate from horizontal to vertical; just incase you’re too lazy to hold your arm at a different angle but not lazy enough that you mind manually adjusting the blade.

*This product is dishwasher and Polish friendly   Made in China; blade manufactured in Japan.

When you don’t have your own bathroom the next best thing is toilet pages; just because you’re sharing a bathroom doesn’t mean you have to share herpes.  Toilet pages has nice iconic tabs that reminds you what task or for which person each seat is specifically designated.  Designer Jan Ctvrtnik has marked the tabs and seat layers for family use.   For instance, the first seat is designated for a toddler, but these could easily be changed to accommodate different circumstances.  If this great concept ever goes to market I imagine there will be various models to accouter common situations.   

How freakin fun are these things! Not only do Flashlight friends from Nite Ize personify flashlights in an uber fun way, they’re also functional. You can bend the appendages in any direction to create unique poses while positioning the angle of light exactly where you need it. 
You don’t need glasses or eyeball surgery to see at night, you just need a little help from your friends; your Flashlite Friends.  If I was 10 years younger with an incandescent light bulb head I would take these Flashlite Friends to dinner and a movie; maybe even let them spend the night! So make some new friends with a couple guys that have a very bright future.

Very Cool!

Jansen + co can’t help your marriage, but they can make your dinner parties more interesting with their Ming Cruets.  These creative oil and vinegar vessels resemble upside-down wine glasses, but if you’re not a fan of oil and vinegar they’re perfect for the consecration of the Eucharist or even mixing potions.     

The entire point of having a dinner party is to impress with an affectation of elegance and grace while painting a smile over your deep seeded resentment for your spouse and the years of bondage and servitude that have somehow morphed into a parasitic masquerade of a partnership that now even you believe is love.  The only other reason to have a dinner party is to show off your awesome oil and vinegar cruets by Jensen + co.  

For only thirty bucks, these make a perfect gift; both elegant and unique.  The set of two cruets even includes a filling funnel and cleaning brush.

This reminds me of how my mother used to decorate the kitchen when she was upset with my father.

The Forked-Up Utilitile by Thout design is a 16″x16″ elegant lacquered wall tile that uses magnets to hold the utensils in place.  It’s one of the many space saving tile designs from Thout. 
Your guests will think you’ve either got a queer eye for internal decor or a very short temper.

**Great for both buffet style dinning and flaunting your frequent bouts with domestic abuse.

Yoga Toes by YogaPro are perfect for people with feet. 
Seriously, your feet have to carry and balance your entire body weight all day long; so what do you ever do for them? 
Yoga Toes gently stretches and relaxes cramped and stiff feet, strengthening and aligning bent toes and foot muscles while increasing circulation to leave your feet revived & rejuvenated.

When I first tried Yoga Toes, I thought "ok, these are pretty cool", but after using them only a few times I noticed that my feet felt lighter; the same great feeling you get after a massage.  I’ll never go on another hiking trip, let alone a rock climbing adventure without a pair.  If you play sports, dance, or you’re on you’re feet all day, do yourself a favor and pick up some Yoga Toes; your feet will thank you. 
Toga Toes also makes a great gift, especially for someone with a foot fetish.

*Perfect for man gift for Fathers Day!

From designers Eoin McNally & Ian Walton comes a gentler way to wake up.  The Glo Pillow is designed to provide a more natural method of being woken opposed to the intrusive and incessant beeping of the traditional alarm clock. 

Via an internal LED grid, the time is displayed on the pillow while the fabric side control unit is used to set the alarm.  Forty five minutes before the alarm is due to wake you, the pillow begins to softly glow.  The intensity of the glow increases gradually from 0 lux to 250 lux, simulating a sunrise.  At the set alarm time, the light reaches an intensity that is sufficient to naturally wake a person; this is supposedly a calmer and more natural way to start the day.  In theory this seems like a “sound” way to develop a healthy sleeping pattern tailored to your specific needs, but I’m not some hydro plant that needs to be tricked into budding off season.  If I set an alarm, I need to know that I’ll be woken up.  What happens if it’s already light in my room, or the back of my head is on the pillow? 

*Great for the deaf, but does not work if you fall asleep with the light on.

When you’re hurrying to shovel down breakfast and pump some caffeine into your system, nothing’s going to put you in a better mooOOOOod than the Calf and Half Creamer from Fred & Friends.  This hand-crafted double glass walled pitcher is a unique reminder of where your cream comes from.

Before all you vegans go and have a cow, you’ll be pleased to know that this little carafe works equally well with soy or rice milk; it’s just not as cute and it tastes like crap.

If you’re wondering, this makes an excellent gift.  It’s not some cheep little novelty.  The doubled walled glass is thick which helps insulate the cream and resist chips or cracks.  So suckle on that Woody!

The wooden double helix of the Geo Cocktail Table by Vito Selma is a beautiful example of how you can add flavor to your home by electing to go beyond standard furniture.  Not only is this coffee table perfect for any hard core geneticist, it’s chichi design from the Philippines will be sure to impress the boss’s art mongrel of a wife; and if you impress her, you impress him.

Designer Vito Selma is a full-time furniture designer and part-time photographer/interior designer; he also likes to blog.
