A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

And it’ll never smell like leftover pork lo mein again. The fridge, that is. We love this 4” tall penguin in the traditional black and white outfit just for the way it looks. But pull off the black silicone top, and fill the hard plastic bottom with baking soda, and the little bugger will deodorize your ice box for no additional charge.

We’re not talking about just any butter—we’re talking about Land o Lakes™ butter. This spiral-bound Land O Lake Recipe Collection cookbook includes (42) recipes, all with that magic ingredient in them. You know, butter. You’ll find (15) recipes for cookies, brownies and bars, including (naturally) “Best Ever Butter Cookies”; 13 cakes and pies, including “S’More Pie”; and (14) muffins and quickbreads, such as “Coconut Cherry Scones with Citrus Butter.” Has a metric conversion chart in the back of the book, and an overall heart-warming vintage look.

The smart cutters and choppers these days are using ceramic knives because they stay so sharp for so long, and who remembers to have their knives sharpened? Ours measure 7" long over all, with a red, green, or deep aqua handle, a 3" blade and a sheath. Don't go into the kitchen without one. Slice, dice, chop and mince, and forget about sharpening. Like you always do.

Four fine funnels, a fantastic fare. Sturdy plastic, the biggest is 4-1/8" dia at the mouth, with a 1/2" dia spout, the smallest has a 1-7/8" dia mouth, 1/4" spout. The other (2) are in between. Frankly, it's freaky fun flowing fluids from four funnels!

Just like the classic Yankee drill, but for the kitchen. Has that “as seen on the television” kinda feel. You push the silver or rubberized handle, our choice, of this 14” long spring-loaded whisk and it spins clockwise on the push, and reverses when you let up on it. The 10-tine head is 2.4” dia at the bottom x 2.25” long, with a little center pin to keep it off the bottom of the bowl or jar or whatever. In stainless steel. NOTE: The advertised smaller whisk is no longer available. We only have the larger 14" long whisk. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Stop pushing those tin-can tops with your thumb, trying to drain the juice from your beans. Get this mega-clever strainer, graduated to fit most standard cans without spilling or cutting your thumb again. Paul calls it pea-perfect, and it’s great with pineapple chunks. Measures 4-1/2" dia, and it’s stepped down three times to 2-1/4” dia, on a 4-1/2” long handle. Stainless steel and dishwasher safe.

Not you—we were talking to your favorite kitchen knife, or the one that used to be your favorite before it got dull, and it said yes, it’s not the sharpest knife in the drawer. It’s depressed, and it wants you to buy this Mozzbi tungsten and ceramic 2-stage sharpener. Self-adjusting for anything from paring knives to chef’s choppers, it can be used on any straight knife. A few pulls through the coarse side, and same on the fine side, and you’ll be slicing like d’Artagnan through Cardinal Richelieu's guards. Too soon?

Pickles, tamales, red cabbage and the like keep getting tougher to open, so why not give yourself a little help with this (4)-size jar opener? It’s (2)-sided with one side handling 1-1/2” and 2” lids, and the other opening the 2-1/4” and 3" lids. The handle provides you with extra leverage, and a comfortable grip. Comes in an attractive red and gray, and it’s easy to store.

You a fan of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia? We thought so. Even folks not on a first-name basis with the characters of the classic ’80s-’90s TV show “The Golden Girls” can appreciate this white ceramic 12-oz mug adorned with line drawings of the girls themselves. Under their faces, “The Golden Girls” is written in pink. We don’t want to call this a collector’s item yet, but you know, give it some time. Limited edition, from Loot Crate™. Hand-wash it, don’t soak it, keep it out of the microwave and this mug might be with you well into your own golden years.
