G’Rabbit Salt and Pepper Grinders

"inventive design allows you to add flavor to food using only one hand. Just squeeze the G'Rabbit's ears to grind and remove the tail-like plug to refill. The carbon steel rasps in the grinders result in a higher output level, and the adjustable grind mechanism allows for customized seasoning. Rotate base to adjust level of grind coarseness." Buy it here ($22 each)

Battery Mug

Most of us don't start functioning until we've had our caffeine intake to get our internal batteries started. As soon as you pour your hot beverage into this mug, a battery image on the side starts to appear and fill up. And naturally, the battery will decrease as the beverage cools down or run out.. that's when the battery needs to be filled in again! Buy it here ($28) [via]
