Swanky, The Swan Ladle That Floats In Your Soup

swanky-swan-ladle

The image of a swan floating around a lake is so aesthetically-pleasing. Warm soup is like giving your innards a big hug. SWANKY, the floating ladle, is here to combine swans and soup to help give us sensory overload.

The kitchen accessory is not only designed to look like a majestic swan, but it floats upright atop your stewing liquid of choice, until you’re ready to scoop and pour.

The SWANKY is brought to us by OTOTO, and is currently in Kickstarter phase. Available in white, black or pink — you can find more information on how to get your own here.

Sushi Sticky Notes Will Help You Remember Stuff

sushi-notes

If you rely on post-it notes to get by, and enjoy raw fish and rice, SushiNotes should be part of your stationery.

Available in maki, nigiri and ornigiri, the sticky notes can be placed anywhere to remind you to do stuff. Whether it’s an important appointment, or a reminder to pick up sheets of nori at the supermarket.

SushiNotes are currently in Kickstarter phase, but have already surpassed their goal. So we can expect to be organized and properly reminded soon.

Keep Your Coffee and Donut Warm With This Ingenious Mug

heat-mug

Coffee and donuts were invented with the sole purpose of joining forces to help make mornings tolerable. However, if you’re moving a bit slow in the morning — probably because you haven’t had your coffee yet — the pair can lose heat, making the morning suck even more.

The BEST. MORNING. EVER. Mug is here to solve your morning dilemma. The ceramic mug is designed to rest your donut or muffin on top. The heat trying to escape from the coffee warms the breakfast item, while that same item insulates the mug.

So, they work off of each other… like a perfect pair should. Best morning ever, indeed. The mug is currently in Kickstarter phase, but they’ve already surpassed their goal. So, you can start enjoying warm things in the morning again.

Sandwich Masters, A Card Game Where You Make Sandwiches

sandwich-masters-5

Take a break from boring poker, where there’s hardly any sandwiches involved, and start dealing with Sandwich Masters.

Brought to us by Big Punch Studios — the fast-paced card game replaces flushes, full houses and two-pair, with yummy sandwiches. Players are shown sandwich orders, then dealt ingredient cards. Players can start constructing the orders and, if you are short a sandwich item, you can replace it with a fake ingredient, hoping nobody will notice.

So, it’s kinda like playing Bullshit and working at a real sandwich shop. The project is currently in Kickstarter phase, and they’re almost to their target goal. Check it out here.
