New Teasticks!

blue and magenta teasticks that look a little like high heels

You may remember the first Teastick we reviewed in 2005. You know, if you're that cool and read blogs back then. Well, three years is a long time in Teastick development. Have a look at what's new - at right, the Teastick Gems.

Do they remind anyone else of Barbie shoes? Seriously, that's all I can think of when I look at them. But they're not Barbie shoes, they're not; they make tea.

"Teastick Gems are now made with Eastman Tritan™, a revolutionary new material that is FDA-approved, taste-free and with absolutely no Bisphenol-A!"

I have no idea what Bisphenol-A is, but I feel sort of excited that these don't contain it. I looked up what else is made with Eastman Tritan™ but a Google image search brought me a lumber rack, a synthesizer, and an impressive deer. So, let's assume this is a very new type of plastic.

In any case, Teasticks can go in the dishwasher and are obviously a very handy tea-making shape. The Teastick Gems' semi-clear design allow you to watch your tea pearls unfold and make a perfect 10-14 oz. cup of tea. Perfect for a tea lover's holiday stocking!

Design*Sponge's kitchen timer gift guide

Yes, you read that right. Design*Sponge has put together an entire gift guide devoted to the humble kitchen timer. I think it's awesome, since I strongly believe in kitchen timers. I actually have two in my own kitchen and love them both. The first is part of my retro, rounded-edges, chrome kitchen clock (that is pictured in the fourth set of pictures in the guide) and the second is a fairly standard, digital one that is great for timing things down to the exact minute. However, having seen this assortment of available kitchen timers on Design*Sponge, I'm seriously considering adding another one or two to my collection.

Gift Guide: Gifts for the Fashionable Foodie

Here's a list of gifts for the Fashionable Foodie that our very own Sarah J. Gim has put together. She has scoured the internet in order to find tasty treats, table accessories and a home appliance or two that would all make good gifts if you've got a high fashion food lover on your list.

Starting at the top of the list, we have the Pink Handbag Cake from Dean and Deluca. It's pretty enough that your first inclination might be to tuck it under your arm, however it's true purpose is to be devoured. Tasty!

The String of Pearls Trivet looks like a larger version of your grandmother's pearls, but with a decidedly different purpose. You can twist them into a doubled coil for smaller pots or leave it one strand for larger ones. You can also make a figure 8 out of it, giving you enough space for a baking dish or two smaller serving bowls.
