Look I ain't going to tell you to buy the Lily Pond Sushi set designed by Giovannoni Stefano and Takeda Rumiko, after all it is $94.00, but dang is it pretty to look at. The set comes with a plate, chopsticks in melamine, a soy sauce plate and a chopsticks holder made out of fine bone china.

Our favorite past time is now frozen in time thanks to designer Martin Zampach. The Icebox is an ice tray that turn everyday water into ice Tetris pieces. The 100% food grade silicone Iceblox goes for about 6.90 EUR at the designer's web site and it is worth every penny, specially for those of us who used to arrange Tetris pieces in our sleep.

You've probably fallen victim to funnel overdrive, where you pour more than you've liked into a funnel. It is not a deal-breaker, but it's nice to know someone out there cares.

Zevro manufacturers what they call the Smart Funnel. Unlike regular funnels, the Smart Funnel has a handle for easy positioning and carrying along with a pour control system that allows you to control the flow of liquid or solid that will go into your container. When you have poured enough, you turn a lever and the funnel closes. Presto! Another much-appreciated feature is measurement marks along the funnel to indicate how much exactly you are funneling through.

Been loving the artwork in Say Your Piece ceramics for some time now. Friends forever is a prime example of what we love about Say Your Piece's work: simple designs without overbearing elevatorate patterns.

What better way to complement your new Arc Shower Curtain Bar than with a new hookless shower curtain? On our last review we told you about the Arc Shower Curtain Bar but we failed to mention the amazing shower curtain that was hanging from it. Sure we know what you are thinking. What's so amazing about a shower curtain? Well, it's actually fairly simple. The reason we fell in love with this curtain is because of its simplicity. The curtain as you could tell from its name is hookless which means no more worrying about the hooks falling off of your curtain when you slide the curtain. And no more scratchy noise when you move it to one side.
These curtains feature plastic hooks built right into the fabric. We must agree it's a great concept! The other thing that made us fall in love with these curtains was the window at eye level. This window is small enough to give you privacy while you are in the shower, yet large enough to let the light in when you are showering. If you have dim lights or little light in your bathroom area, then this is the curtain for you.

Finally, the curtains feature a removable inner curtain that can be washed on its own. The inner curtain has magnets on the bottom to make sure it sticks to your tub and not to you. Since the Hookless Vision shower curtains come in various colors and materials the prices vary but they are not too expensive. We have seen them at a good price on Amazon.

This past week Urban Lime was out on a business trip hunting down cool products for future reviews. We stayed at a hotel that had one of the Arcs & Angles shower rods and we couldn't believe that we had missed this product in the past. It's little things like this that pass you by and you take for granted.

I am one of those people who despise small showers, specially if they are equipped with shower curtains because I hate the feel of a plastic sticking to me. This product solves both of my problems with a simple solution: a new curved curtain shower rod.

This rod makes the shower curtain extend past the tub in order to give your upper body extra room (about 30% more) than conventional shower curtains. This extra room allows you to keep a safe distance from the shower curtain, giving you the feel of a larger shower and the comfort of not having the curtain stick to your body while you are showering.

Arcs & Angles shower curtains come in standard 60" or 72" rods, but don't let the sizes deter you. The rods can be installed in virtually any size shower since they can be cut to size. They come in chrome for a shiny finish and stainless steel for a brushed finish. The bars are made of aircraft aluminum so it will never rusts.

Simply stated, the ARC Shower Bar is amazing.

With Cherry Blossom fridge magnets, created by In My Backyard, there is no longer the need to adorn your fridge with generic insert-a-city here magnets. The set of three magnets are composed of photographs with muted shades of pinks, greens and grays. Each magnet is roughly 2 square inches.

Public restrooms are nasty, so any advantage you can gain while in there helps. The dissolving soap paper are small sheets of paper that will lather your hands when you apply water and rub your hands together. I like that my wife can carry these in her purse and if a public restroom runs out of soap, I can still wash my hands before dinner.

50 sheets for $4.95 at Amazon.
