Eva Solo bring their "less is more" aesthetic to the art of brewing tea. Designed to work in two different ways for two different sorts of tea. For long-brewing teas without tannins, the tea is poured direcly into the flask, hotwater is added and then the filter and lid are replaced. When the tea is poured, the filter automatically strains off the tea and the tip-lid automatically opens at the drip-free spout. With teas containing tannin or green teas, where continued exposure to the water leads to a bitter or "stewed" taste, the tea is placed inside the filter. Water is added, and after the brewing period the plunger is depressed. This seals the tea inside the filter, stopping the brewing process and allowing multiple cups to be poured without a decline in quality. Brilliant! The knitware cover keeps the tea warm, and the brewer disasembles into three parts (heatproof flask, filter and plunger/lid) for easy cleaning. See less

This knife holder is a joke, yes. It makes us laugh in the same way that a Tom and Jerry cartoon cracks us up. But go beyond the immediate visual impact (if you can) and you find a well thought out and practical object. The super-sharp, Molybdenum and Vanadium stainless steel knives are high-quality and keep their edge superlatively. The knives are protected from accidental slicing by plastic sleeves, and are held in place by magnets to avoid unitended ejection. Small plastic suckers on the base of the holder provide an added layer of safety. Comes with bread knife, carver/slicer. chef's knife, utility knife, paring knife. A conversation piece if there ever was one. See less

The streamlined bottles are totally free of bisphenol-A (BPA), the toxic leach in the ubiquitous polycarbonate bottles, thanks to a specially formulated compound called Eastman Tritan™. Safety first, indeed. But, it's simply, the best-looking water bottle on the market. We love the crystal clear shell, inspired by the organic beauty of blown glass. The “no-worry cap” swivels open at the hinge with a touch of the button, and a special disk inside the top allows you to slip in a message or image to motivate or amuse you with each gulp. The wide mouth is large enough for ice cubes, while designed to minimize splashing. The integrated handle allows for comfy carrying. Made in North America. Holds 750ml of refreshing goodness. And the best part? One percent of sales benefit safe water programs worldwide! H2Oh! See less

Whether you live in a manor house or a minor flat, space is always a consideration. Ever conscious of this fact, the folks at UK's Joseph Joseph offer the final word on your kitchen fundamentals. At least as it pertains to bowls, filters and measuring systems. The "Nest" consists of 4 different measuring cups, a sieve, a colander, a small mixing bowl with measurement marks, and a large mixing bowl with non-slip base. It's not just the happy color combo that puts smiles on our faces. It's the simple brilliance in design. See less

The zipper has to be among the top inventions ever--and the most punk rock. Toy Me! designer Georgo Phillip Pecenikov--a.k.a. Gogo--thinks so, too, so here he takes the most prosaic of devices and casts it in sterling silver and then plates it in rhodium (the priciest and most reflective of the precious metals). Each zipper is then kissed in a white, blue or red crystal. Gogo hails from a family of traditional high-end jewelry artisans, but uses his knowledge to create edgy statements that evoke a wink. Chain is 100% sterling silver. See less
