10 cute & crazy things for your home

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. [via]

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. [via]

Throwzini’s Knife Block

For frustrated circus knife throwers everywhere. It even spins! Poor little red guy. [via]

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. [via]

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. [via]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. [via]

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

  2. ganns Says:

    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.

    Heehee sure thing Ganns!

    Oh I saw the Clocky thing in a small gadget store in Megamall!!! It’s a store nearing Toy Kingdom, beside the store that sells a lot of frames. You may want to check it out!

  3. jeanny Says:

    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. :)

    But you have to chooooooose sis!!!! :D

  4. bea santiago Says:

    i want them all! hahaha :)

    galing mo mag-hanap ah :)

    In my spare time, I love looking at home gadgets. A lot of them are really more amusing than functional, so the ones I write about are those that are BOTH amusing and functional! I wish they were all available here!

  5. Leica Says:

    I love the clocky! It will force me to finally wake up and no more “five minutes na lang!” from me and hubby :-)

    Or a scenario could be either one of you prodding each other to go chase the clock!

  6. ibyang Says:

    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 =)

    Pwedeng dalawa! Why not? :D Cute nga ng teacup. Napakadainty! And the banana guard is a popular choice. Korek, it is anti-bugbog.

  7. brissiemum2 Says:

    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!!

    Oh lucky him!!! It seems to be a popular choice here in the comments we’ve been seeing. I wouldn’t mind having one myself. :D

  8. odette Says:

    i love the daisy egg molder and the banana slicer and heartie teacup! prettiness!

    You are so right! I love that word. PRETTINESS!

  9. mamajo Says:

    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!

    GOOD POINT!!! Mahanap nga yan sa mga Japan Home Stores dito.

  10. Shai Coggins Says:

    Hehe. Funny. Probably will get the banana protector, cause we buy plenty of bananas and pack em in the kids’ bags often. :-)

    Throw in the banana slicer too for some quick banana split action. :D The Banana Guard seems so awesome. I’ve squished many a banana in my lunch bag. :(

  11. JO Says:

    i like the knife block, the clock and the onion holder.

    do you have all of these in your kitchen?

    I don’t have ANY of these! But I sure do want all of them in my kitchen!

  12. Pinky Says:

    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? ;)

    I love that thought of waking up to a hearty cup of coffee. Sweetness to kick off your day! How wonderful. And after a hard day’s work, let’s let out steam by sticking knives into the little red guy. :D

  13. munchkin mommy Says:

    oh i’d take home all of them! :D but if i only had to choose one, it would be the knife block, which i think is a popular choice here. hahaha! ;)

    I think a lot of us want to get something out of our systems…. hmmmm… *L*

  14. mari Says:

    the banana guard. then, i’d slather the banana with peanut butter. that way, i don’ have to bring the jar with me. :)

    Ay Mari, there are holes in the guard for ventilation. So the banana could breathe, I guess? :D The peanut butter might ooze out!

  15. Leah Says:

    how cute….would like the banana protector for my daughter’s baon – that way she has no reason in bringing it back home uneaten.

    True! She may find it so cute as well that she’d finish it all!

  16. MarysMom Says:

    I would go for the heart-shaped teacup, especially now that I am into Soy Chai.

    How healthy! And I’m sure it tasted yummy. I too love Chai AND Soy, but have never tried Soy Chai! Ha! I’ll try that later!! Thanks for the tip.

  17. dhey Says:

    panalo yung hear-shaped teacup! me likey for 14th! :D heehee… but as for my personal gadget, i’d love the knife block. it could kick-off my other career! :)

    Pang-practice ba? Hehe. Game! Kapag nakapasok ka sa circus, balitaan mo ako ha!

  18. Cookie Says:

    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 :)

    Onion goggles? Funny!!!

  19. Daphne Says:

    I want the nose pencil sharpener but I will use it to sharpen my eyeliner. Pwd kaya? ehehe

    Hehehe pwede yon!

  20. Meeya Says:

    hands down yung knife block. pantanggal ng agression hahaha! at yung nose sharpener, ninna will get a kick out of that. :D

    Para ngang matutuwa nga ng husto ang mga bagetz sa sharpener na yan!

  21. frances Says:

    Throwzini

    :D

  22. sha Says:

    I nearly bought a banana guard last week…. life a whimsy isnt it? I take that knife holder… pang stress reliever lang hoho

    Really? Sana meron din dito!!!

  23. Rach (Heart of Rachel) Says:

    I think that knife block would be an interesting piece in the kitchen. It might go well with my husband’s set of knives.

    It’d make a cute stress reliever too. I think. *L*

  24. Cat Says:

    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! :D

    Hahaha but think of all the uniformly sliced banana pieces you’ll have!

  25. Kay Says:

    The heart shaped teacup … and if I can still add since I am greedy … the daisy egg thingie and the banana slicer …

  26. Kay Says:

    The heart shaped teacup … and if I can still add since I am greedy … the daisy egg thingie and the banana slicer …

    They’d all make great accents to any kitchen!

  27. tami Says:

    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.

    I was wondering about the differently angled bananas too. I wonder if one size fits all, hehe.

  28. fionixe Says:

    woot ^_^ i love the clocky!! i’ll be needing that since im having a hard time in getting up in the morning. :mrgreen:

    Get ready for some racing action!!!

  29. Connie Says:

    The Throwzini

    Nice choice! :D

  30. empress maruja Says:

    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)

    Hahaha, silly Empress. ;) I’d go for the banana guard. What’s that look for? They’re for banana protection!

  31. Nina Says:

    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.

    The clock is interesting to check out, ‘no? :)

  32. Production Music Says:

    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.

    Sounds like a great idea. :D

  33. Kon Says:

    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.

    Well… awwwww. :D

  34. Jean-Paul Says:

    Only death would come to the clock that evades me….Garfield is my guru.

    Okay. :D

  35. Ben Koshkin Says:

    would he banana cutter work for plantains?

    Oh not sure about the banana cutter! I haven’t seen it LIVE! The banana guard will fit plantains though!

  36. Casual Chefs Says:

    These are great, they would be very helpful with some of my recipes

    Great! :)

  37. Mike Adkinson Says:

    Those are nice looking knives

    With an even more interesting holder.

  38. mat isaac Says:

    Thanks Mat! :)

  39. jasen Says:

    I want a lot of them…Very nice kitchen gadgets!!! give a thumb up on SU!!

    Thanks jasen.

  40. homefix Says:
