Pure Komachi Knife (Pink)

First to recommend

Description

I don't consider myself a serious cook by any means, but I DO consider myself a salad connoisseur, so when I found myself sawing back and forth with my dull "knife" to slice up some tomatoes I decided something needed to be done. I did some research but ended up receiving this totally cute PINK chef's knife as a christmas present. It looks a little TOO cute, but leave it to those Japanese to make a good-looking tool that's also functional. The chef's knife is supposed to be for MEAT (as the fun cutouts of chickens and cows inside the handle say), but I don't really cut up a whole lot of meat so I've been using it to slice and dice veggies for salads. Apparently this whole line comes in different colors so you can keep track of each knife and what they're supposed to be cutting (to prevent cross-contamination). The first time I sliced a tomato with this baby, I wanted to jump for joy. It's amazing what a difference the right tools will make. It will transform your chopping experience. That said, it does feel a bit thin, but Japanese knives usually are, compared to their western counterparts. And for $25, I'm not complaining! (via kershawknives.com)

Zyliss Salad Spinners

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I received this as a Christmas gift and I love it! I've had other salad spinners before, but this one is better. I've had those cheap plastic kinds where you turn the crank to make the basket go round, but the Zyliss spinner is loads better because the outside is constructed of a sturdy plastic. The inner colander part is flimsier but that's to be expected. I've seen the spinners that operate with a push-type mechanism, but there's just something infinitely more satisfying about pulling the handle of the Zyliss. It's sort of like starting an old-fashioned lawn-mower. And you might think that the push-type requires less force but for some reason (the physics escape me) the pull-type is easier to manage. There's also a "stop" button, which is usually standard. Lastly, the Zyliss comes in several different colors: green, orange, red and white. I got the green but the orange seems like it would be equally delicious. It also comes in 2 different sizes. The smaller is perfect for 1 or 2 servings of salad, and the larger will probably dry enough greens for 3-4 servings. (via zylissusa.com)

Chooka Tiny Whales Boots

First to recommend

Description

These waterproof boots are pretty darn cute! It almost makes me rue the fact that I live in Los Angeles, where it rains about 3 days out of the year. So, I can't vouch for how well they hold up to heavy use in heavy rain, but I can tell you how sweet they look on my feet! (via Piperlime)

Furla turquoise 'Lovers' double french wallet

First to recommend

Description

I've been wanting to get a Furla bag for a while now but I thought I'd test the waters with a smaller item first. This wallet is quite lovely, it has 6 slots for credit cards, and 4 pockets, as well as deep billfold. In fact, it's a bit too deep for my liking since I have to dig down deep just to pull out a couple of bucks. There's also a zippered coin compartment, and the heart-shaped chrome accent makes a plain wallet a cute wallet.

Nintendo DS: Gold DS & Zelda Bundle

First to recommend

Description

This makes me wish I didn't already own 2 DSs... and the Zelda game. But if you haven't got it yet then this might be for you. I used to hate anything gold but lately I've been coming around. It's quite a nice color, and the Triforce logo is simple and unobtrusive. Also, the game itself is pretty fun and not too difficult, so if you're looking to get a DS this is a pretty good start. And the DS has a pretty awesome lineup of fun, creative games so if you're looking to invest in a handheld gaming system, I'd say go for a DS.

Shachihata Emoticon Face Stamp

First to recommend

Description

Let's communication! For $5 you get a silicone stamp that is soft enough for you to mold into different emoticon-faces. It's a simple idea but if you want to add a little final touch to your written correspondence this is a fun way to do it. It comes in a sturdy plastic case and three colors: blue, pink and black (though it looks more like brown to me...). (via shachihata.co.jp)

PSP Slim & Lite

2 people recommended this item

Description

When I found out that Sony had released the new Slim & Lite PSPs in Japan in new pastel colors I couldn't resist and picked up a blue one. The colors are pastel-y but by no means boring. They're quite classy and have a sort of glittery/shimmery and glossy finish. There's quite a noticeable difference in the weight, and it feels nice in your hands. I have a feeling Sony put out these colors to appeal to the female population but the colors are nice enough that they wouldn't seem weird in a boy's hands. The other new and improved feature of these PSP-2000s is that you can hook them up to a TV, and even watch TV on them. The only complaint I had is that it didn't come with headphones. Though, I guess if I think about it, no other handheld system comes with headphones, does it? (via Play-asia)
