While the spouse and his friend were discussing about gps map, I was surfing the internet for some birthday gift ideas for a friend’s 17 year old daughter. I came upon this funky mini cooler from Pottery Barn. Oh it is just so cute. This mini fridge can keep four soda cans and consumes less power than a traditional refrigerator. I think it is the perfect gift for a teenager, don’t you think so? I may just get another one for my office.

Check out this cool kitchen gadget from Royal VKB. It is a double-sided hand juicer which allows you to juice without any mess. Just place the Citrange juicer directly on the glass. It has a built-in funnel which will guide the juice into the glass. Another great thing is that the Citrange also filters out the seeds. The rounded side is for bigger fruits like grapefruits or orange and the pointy side is for lemons or limes. I love to have my juices in the morning before I pop some pre workout supplements. The Citrange is just what I need.
Kids, mine included, do not like to wash their hands or brush their teeth. Even if they do, they tend to do it as quickly as possible, which is not really a good thing because they won’t be able to wash away the germs effectively. This Wash & Brush 2-Minute Timer is designed to teach the children to slow down. Press the appropriate button and the green light will start flashing. When its near the expiry period, the light flashes faster and then turn red when done. This timer is a fun way to promote good hygiene in children. So each time when the child wants to wash his/her hands or brushes their teeth, let them press the button and start washing away. Get one now from Trendykid.co.uk

I was invited to dinner at a friend’s house a couple of days ago. My friend has just been promoted and the dinner is to celebrate his promotion. I was chatting with his wife while she was preparing food in the kitchen and can’t help but notice the stainless steel shield she was using. It was a finger guard which helps to protect the finger while slicing and dicing vegetables. It features a welded ring which can fits the chef’s middle finger. The tip of the shield holds the food in place while you cut/sliced. What a brilliant tool. I think I should get one too.
