December 3, 2015 by Chris Durso

Foodiggity’s Holiday Gift Guide 2015 has got a little something for everyone. Kitchen accessories that rock, fun drink and barware accessories, and culinary cartography.

So, stuff those stockings — perhaps with other stockings — or actually wrap something for a change. Enjoy.

Guitar Case Lunch Box, $19.99

Whether you know someone who likes to rock lunch, or you want to encourage them to make guitar-shaped sandwiches — the Guitar Case Lunch Box should be on your list. Made to look like a guitar case, it even comes with a set of stickers to help customize the lunch-carrier. [link]

Rechargeable Bottle Light, $14.99

Help that lucky person on your list to turn empties into lampies, with the Rechargeable Bottle Light. The small little cork charges via USB and produces big light. With a simple twist, the Bottle Light will help create ambience in any room. [link]

Sugar Skull Spoon, $9.99

Whether your gift recipient likes to sweeten coffee, tea, or absinthe — they’ll certainly appreciate a Sugar Skull Spoon. The stainless steel scooper may seem impractical by having holes in it, but it grabs just enough to make your beverage as macabre as possible. Not recommended for soup. [link]

Frozen Peas Ice Mold, $14.99

Did you know that ice spheres melt 80% slower than old-fashioned ice cubes? Did you know that most people still use boring rectangular ice trays that aren’t large pea pods? The Frozen Peas Ice Molds are here to remedy that. The silicone mold makes three large ice spheres. Buy several, if your recipient is extra popular. [link]

BBQ Apron Guide, $24.99

Anyone would be happy to belly-up to the grill wearing a BBQ Apron Guide. That’s because they’ll be armed with a bunch of grilling info and techniques. Recipes and tid-bits are printed upside-down for easy access. [link]

Foodiggity’s Music Lover’s Gift Guide

October 17, 2013 by Chris Durso

Are you, or someone you know, a culinary rockstar? Do you pretend to play guitar with your utensils while your sauce simmers? Do you use the new cookware as a drum set, with wooden spoons as drumsticks?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Foodiggity is here to help. Whether for yourself, or a music-loving cook in your life, we have some stuff that’ll cater to everyone’s culinary and music skills — or lack thereof. Please enjoy.

Tattoo Oven Mitt

It’s pretty hard to look tough while baking. But perhaps it’s because you’ve never had a Tattoo Oven Mitt. It’s the perfect way to protect your hand and look badass while doing it.

A Kitchen Knife Inspired by Cavemen

March 19, 2013 by Chris Durso

You’d think that a kitchen tool that draws inspiration from someone who lived in a cave and had a pet dinosaur, would be considered crude by our modern standards. However, Italian kitchenware maker Del Ben and designer Michele Daneluzzo actually borrowed a design from the prehistoric man and created The Primitive.

The knife, inspired by Stone-age era cutting tools, are handle-less with a large top edge to grip. Perfectly tapered and sharpened, little pressure is needed to slice through veggies, fruits, the occasional Brontosaurus burger, or anything that you’ll be cooking. Assuming you’ve already discovered fire.

Deep Fried Gadgets

June 4, 2012 by Chris Durso

There’s a theory, that anything could taste good after being deep fried — just ask any state fair. Brooklyn-based photographer Henry Hargreaves wants to test this theory with Deep Fried Gadgets. Or, at least he’d like to provoke the thought of how delicious your iPhone would taste. Our guess is, delicious.

And no worries, tech geeks. Hargreaves didn’t actually send gadgets to their deep-fried doom. He recreated them with prints laid over foam core, just to get the point across, and to save a few thousand dollars.
