MIDAS GOLDEN CUTLERY $180

I'm becoming more and more warm to the idea of gold (plated) cutlery vs the usual silver.  If you haven't noticed, it's impossible to find good cutlery on the cheap, unless you score some at an estate sale or inherit some from family.  I hate my current cutlery and am always looking to replace my Pottery Barn crappy set, which happens to have been discontinued anyway... grumble.
Buy here from The Conran Shop.
Was $225 for 6 piece set.

Forty nine freaking cents!  I picked up a few of these the other day on my annual trip to IKEA.  Now, I wish I had grabbed more, because it just occurred to me that these would make great Christmas napkins, or maybe gift wrap?  Maybe worth an hour drive back to the love of mine, that is IKEA.
Check it here, but not available online :(

RETRO DOUBLE EGG TIMER $18

3.5" H X 2" H

Sometimes, I am able to post things here that I already own, (different color), which makes me feel even better about recommending you to buy it.  This egg timer happens to be sitting on my kitchen counter right now and I can honestly say, we use it all the time.  An easy way to remind someone that, say, the hose is still watering that tree, or maybe that cake is still in the oven, remember???.  I tell you, two timers is better than one!  Love this retro style, too.  Buy here from Uncommon Goods.
