Perhaps crazy is relative, but you gotta admit that you’d want to check out these thingamajigs, yes? This is not a paid post, just a collection of cooky pieces I find really amusing!
The Banana Guard
Because it’s always best to be protected. Believe me, bananas that get squished by sandwiches and drinks in a lunch box isn’t a pretty sight. [

Clocky
Remember that kid who taunted you and ran away from you when you chased him? This alarm clock is sort of like that. It jolts you from your sleep and allows you no snooze-button time. Perhaps chasing it around your room can make for morning exercise too. [

Throwzini’s Knife Block
For frustrated circus knife throwers everywhere. It even spins! Poor little red guy. [

Nose Pencil Sharpener
The only time kids are allowed to pick noses in public. Warning: Sharpening pencils will trump doing homework. Then again anything trumps doing homework. [
via]
Arty Party Paper Plates
For every kid who wants to play with their food. Time to take out the mayo, mustard and ketchup! Arm the kids with fries or carrot sticks. And I wonder if this comes with a beret. [

Heart Shaped Teacup
Wake up to a lovely Valentine’s Day morning with tea. No need for sugar. This quaint teacup fills up the sweetness quotient of your day. [
via]
Onion Holder
Because onions don’t only make you cry, they stubbornly roll away too. [
via]
Din-Ink
So ideas don’t get lost during mealtimes. Just make sure there’s no soup in your spoon before you excitedly jot down our ideas on your placemat. [

Daisy Egg Molder
Because round eggs are boring. [
via]
Banana Slicer
And finally, because we started with bananas, let’s end with bananas. Perfect for those who are impatient with their fruit. [

Pretend you can take one of these items home. Which one would you go for and why? 😉

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

January 29, 2008 at 11:12 am (16 years ago)Toni, these are amazing! I WANT THEM ALL!!
I especially *heart* the onion holder, the clocky, and the daisy egg mold.
If ever you decide to order, count me in for one of whatever you’re ordering para tipid tayo sa shipping. Hehehehe.

January 29, 2008 at 12:24 pm (16 years ago)hehehe…looking at those things made me smile. such inventive mind ha to come up with those idea. Galing galing. I love all of them.

January 29, 2008 at 4:57 pm (16 years ago)i want them all! hahaha

January 29, 2008 at 5:16 pm (16 years ago)I love the clocky! It will force me to finally wake up and no more “five minutes na lang!” from me and hubby
ibyang
January 29, 2008 at 5:53 pm (16 years ago)i’d take home the heart-shaped teacup =) syempre ako pa, coffee lover na, green tea lover din hehehe.
…pwedeng isa pa? yung banana guard! para pagdating ko sa office hindi mukhang nabugbog ang baon kong banana =)

January 29, 2008 at 7:10 pm (16 years ago)Omg! My brother actually has one of those banana guards and raves over it! He thinks it’s fantastic and swears that every banana fits it! Sad, but true!!
odette
January 29, 2008 at 7:18 pm (16 years ago)i love the daisy egg molder and the banana slicer and heartie teacup! prettiness!
mamajo
January 29, 2008 at 8:41 pm (16 years ago)my colleague got one of those banana guards from Japan…I therefore conclude, makikita natin yang mga yan sa stores selling Japanese stuff. We have Daiso here where everything is for $2. ALl from Japan. Winner!
Shai Coggins
January 29, 2008 at 10:53 pm (16 years ago)Hehe. Funny. Probably will get the banana protector, cause we buy plenty of bananas and pack em in the kids’ bags often.
JO
January 30, 2008 at 12:27 am (16 years ago)i like the knife block, the clock and the onion holder.
do you have all of these in your kitchen?
Pinky
January 30, 2008 at 2:03 am (16 years ago)Hi Toni! It’s a toss-up between the knife block and the heart-shaped cup for me
Must be because sticking my knives near the poor little red guy satisfies some of my “sadistic tendencies” (*joke*)… Also, who wouldn’t want to wake up to a hearty (literally) cup of coffee, right? 😉
munchkin mommy
January 30, 2008 at 2:12 am (16 years ago)oh i’d take home all of them! 😀 but if i only had to choose one, it would be the knife block, which i think is a popular choice here. hahaha! 😉
mari
January 30, 2008 at 4:39 am (16 years ago)the banana guard. then, i’d slather the banana with peanut butter. that way, i don’ have to bring the jar with me.
Leah
January 30, 2008 at 6:38 am (16 years ago)how cute….would like the banana protector for my daughter’s baon – that way she has no reason in bringing it back home uneaten.
MarysMom
January 30, 2008 at 6:53 am (16 years ago)I would go for the heart-shaped teacup, especially now that I am into Soy Chai.
dhey
January 30, 2008 at 9:06 am (16 years ago)panalo yung hear-shaped teacup! me likey for 14th! 😀 heehee… but as for my personal gadget, i’d love the knife block. it could kick-off my other career!
Cookie
January 30, 2008 at 11:10 am (16 years ago)Throwzini Knife Block…it has a voodoo feel to it
I also like the Nose Pencil Sharpener. I’m sure I’ll be laughing my ass off whenever I need to sharpen my pencils.
The Onion Holder is perfect for me since I always manage to shave off part of my thumb when cutting onions
BTW, nakita ko lang sa tv the other day, may Onion Goggles na din
Daphne
January 30, 2008 at 12:39 pm (16 years ago)I want the nose pencil sharpener but I will use it to sharpen my eyeliner. Pwd kaya? ehehe
Meeya
January 30, 2008 at 12:47 pm (16 years ago)hands down yung knife block. pantanggal ng agression hahaha! at yung nose sharpener, ninna will get a kick out of that. 😀

January 30, 2008 at 5:08 pm (16 years ago)I nearly bought a banana guard last week…. life a whimsy isnt it? I take that knife holder… pang stress reliever lang hoho
Rach (Heart of Rachel)
January 30, 2008 at 8:07 pm (16 years ago)I think that knife block would be an interesting piece in the kitchen. It might go well with my husband’s set of knives.
Cat
January 30, 2008 at 8:50 pm (16 years ago)I liked the onion holder. Not only do my onions roll away, they end up sliced unevenly or slanted. I think whoever invented the banana slicer is too lazy! 😀
Kay
January 30, 2008 at 8:52 pm (16 years ago)The heart shaped teacup … and if I can still add since I am greedy … the daisy egg thingie and the banana slicer …

tami
January 30, 2008 at 10:48 pm (16 years ago)the runaway alarm clock! It’ll help me avoid oversleeping!
And the banana guard is a good idea too. I wonder if a differently angled banana can fit.

January 31, 2008 at 12:14 pm (16 years ago)woot ^_^ i love the clocky!! i’ll be needing that since im having a hard time in getting up in the morning.

February 20, 2008 at 12:53 pm (16 years ago)I go for the Onion Holder, because I never get to chop onions right.
(What? You think I’d go for the Banana Guard? hihihi)
Nina
June 12, 2008 at 7:04 am (16 years ago)I’d get the clocky and give it to my teenage son. It’s so hard to wake him up in the morning. This might do the trick.

June 21, 2008 at 2:28 am (16 years ago)I love the alarm clock! How funny. I think I’ll get one of those so I can get up on time to work on my Production Music Library website.
Kon
June 27, 2008 at 12:54 pm (16 years ago)If I could take one thing home, it would have to be the Teacup. I’m a hopeless romantic, and it’s crap like that (and sappy movies) that make me pathetic, and all too “cute” in girls eyes.

I am going to enjoy pointing people to your site as well!
Isabelle
May 5, 2010 at 9:54 am (14 years ago)Why would anyone need an onion holder? They could just cut it in half, and it wouldn’t run away…
Isabelle
May 5, 2010 at 9:55 am (14 years ago)Oops, I meant roll.

July 15, 2011 at 10:47 am (13 years ago)I like the knife holder. I am sure that it would be a great conversation starter. The onion holder however, just seems like an extra step when there are onion slicers that will cut an onion in one go.

January 29, 2019 at 11:44 pm (5 years ago)Great Article , Thanks for shearing this post . I am very interesting this topic . I would like to share my opinion on this topic . Many locksmiths provide 24-hour residential locksmith companies. They carry out emergency keying companies like lock choosing and lock restore. Whenever you’ve forgotten the code to your digital locks, locksmiths may even get you previous the password-protected entries. They’ll additionally present lock substitute and check your doorways to appraise your private home safety.
