Qualy Shakes Things Up With Two New Awesome Seasoning and Spice Shaker Sets.

Two different sets of seasoning or spice shakers have just been introduced by Qualy of Thailand. Four Seasons and Animal Parade consist of four clear domes (with holes in the tops) in a white tray in which you can place herbs, spices and seasonings. With a look reminiscent of snow domes, the products are both fun and functional, like all of Qualy's products.

Four Seasons features trees indicative of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter and Animal Parade features creatures associated with each of the seasons: bunny, camel, elk and polar bear.

Stay On Coasters for Wine Glasses. Now That's An Idea That Holds Water.

This falls under the "Now, why didn't I think of that?" category. Mother and daughter fashion and design team from Iceland, Dimmalimm, did and call them "Stay On Coasters." Cute felt coasters that attach to the bottom of your wine glass, attractively absorbing any condensation the glass may leave on a surface.




The coasters, which slip onto the base of your glass in two sizes, perform double duty - protecting surfaces and helping to distinguish ownership of the beverage.


above: Hibiscus, Fest and Citrus are the three designs available.

The wool/ rayon blend of coasters absorb condensation and can be hand washed and simply laid flat to dry. Three different designs and several different colors are available and sets can be mixed and matched.






See their site for details regarding sizes and prices.
