These Salt & Pepper Robot shakers are your servants. Next time you need to pass the salt, wind up the salt robot shaker and have him do the walking for you. The robot won't break the sound barrier, but it will be a fun distraction at your dinner table.

The ceramic Butter Dish was designed to mimick your friendly plastic cousin. And though it was made to hold a normal UK size butter (are there different standard sizes in the rest of the world?), this beautiful ceramic container is best used for other purposes anyway.

For those of you who buy fresh herbs constantly, you'll be happy with this device by Prepera. The Herb Savor prolongs the life of fresh herbs for up to 3 weeks. Beats buying dry herbs on the spice isle of the grocery store.

I get really annoyed when I have to climb up and down ladders to get screws that constantly fall down. And sometimes when on the ground, my shirt pocket isn't good since stuff falls out of the pocket when bending down. So, this Magwear Magnetic Wristband should help alleviate all that. The magnet that powers this interesting device is none other than a N50 Neodymium magnet (a powerful magnet) that can hold on to hardware and even small tools. The wristband wrap uses a Velcro strap to keep it secure around your arm.

These powder coated steel wall pots designed by Thelermont Hupton sit angular on your wall providing a stricking visual to your otherwise flat wall. The pots are installed with invisible fixing so all you see are the pots and the plants growing on them. Needless to say, get plants that thrive in the shade or you will be stuck with dead plants in weeks like it usually happens to me.

The View From Your Window is a fantastical showcase of 190 of Daily Dish's favorite photos taken by readers looking outside their own windows. What you get is an almost surreal experience with more than 80 countries and 50 of U.S. states represented. Making the book even more interesting is that the book is ordered from dawn to dusk. As you near the end of the book, it feels as if you actually journeyed to these places.

Even if you don't buy it (a steal at $29.95), you can preview the book in its entirety at Blurb.

Designed by Greg Wolos, Emily, a sleek brushed aluminum alarm clock is meant to go sideways on your wall so you can read the clock naturally as you lay on your side while in bed. The red LED clock compliments the rich walnut wood construction.

Gotta admit that I fell in love with Allison Cole's illustration style a few months back. It was hard to choose a print to highlight on Urban Lime, but ultimately I settled on Bicycle Girl. I'm a sucker for rich bold colors.

I've been a big fan of the new Zune from Microsoft, but since I never actually owned one, I never really gave their Zune player a chance. However, over the past few months I've grown tired of how dull iTunes has become. I wanted something more exciting and the Zune software is just that. I won't go into all the technical aspects or any of that, this isn't a review after all, but I'll just mention a few things I love about the Zune software.

The software is stunning to look at. Microsoft allows you to select different skins for the player and when a song is playing, if it knows the artist, it will randomly create a slideshow of images from the band pulled from the Zune store. If it does not know the artist, it creates a collage of the different album artwork in your library.



We also love the social aspect of the software, it keeps track of how many songs you've played from each album and it compares it to others on the Zune social network.

All sippy cups aren't made equal. I can attest that I have tried almost every sippy cup out there with my 18-month old daughter. I have come to the conclusion that the Playtex Sippy Cups are by far the best sippy cups out on the market today. Why you might ask? Well its simple, they don't leak and my daughter doesn't turn blue when she is drinking her milk.

The cups are BPA-free so they are safe for your little one. They have built in handles that are great tiny hands and they come in a wide variety of colors and designs so you have a choice of which one you like better.

The Playtex Sippy Cups are well built. My daughter drops them all the time from her high chair and I have yet to see any of them break.

We did not like two things about the Playtex Sippy Cups: they do not have a lid and they do not have markers for ounces.

THE GOOD
- Does not leak
- Variety colors
- Inexpensive

THE BAD
- No lids
- No markers for ounces

IN THE BOX
- Sippy cup
