NoClean Aquariums

Now here’s one product that might actually change my mind about keeping fish as pets. The NoClean Desktop Aquariums is the fastest, easiest, mess-free and fun way to have an aquarium with its self-cleaning, eco-friendly (no electricity or filters) set up and only takes about 60-seconds to work.

Due to gravity and the laws of physics, aquarium waste naturally works its way through the rocks to be trapped at the bottom of the aquarium in a patent-pending reservoir and plumbing system. Every couple of days, simply pour clean water into the aquarium to activiate the self-cleaning system. This flushes out waste trapped in the reservoir while performing a partial water change. As this is a Kickstarter project, they need your support before this product can become a reality. Check out the link for more details.

Love Me Tender

The Microplane Easy Prep Meat Tenderizer uses its extraordinarily sharp, etched blades to break down and soften the fibers of the toughest, yet often the most flavourful, cuts of meat. Made from stainless steel wheel, it is available in Black/Grey and Black/Red.

What do you do when you run out of room? Build upwards, of course! That’s what designer Seung-Yong Song did and manages to kill 2 birds with 1 stone with his out-of-the-box-thinking. His creations may look a bit awkward but they are definitely functional, especially for apartment folks.

Jars of Beauty

The first time I saw this, I was just blown away at how gorgeous these little jars look. Vancouver based designer Cindy Ng has totally revamped the packaging for Killarney Wood’s jams and with such delicious sounding flavours like Honey Jam, Red Velvet Jam, Strawberry Jam, Apple Cinnamon Jam and Lemon Jam, how can you go wrong?

Do you remember my post on Homemade is Best for Ikea campaign back in 2010?
