Warthog Tusk Wine Opener
It�s very rare that the corkscrew used to open a wine bottle is pricey than wine bottle itself. Mind you it�s rare but not impossible. Lately, I found Warthog Tusk Opener by Gershon Ltd that is crafted from an actual animal tusk and a stainless steel cork fiber. This doesn�t seem less than a versatile weapon shielding you at your home, giving you a reason more to justify the cost of the tusk. This vintage-inspired corkscrew comes with bona fide handle with sterling silver end cap flaunting the Gershon seal of creditability. If you have some spare amount, then you can think of doing monogramming over it.
Restaurant in Villa ArenA by Virgile & Stone
Above Amsterdam’s new “Marketplace for Furnishings” floats a restaurant designed by London’s Virgile & Stone. The copper restaurant sits on top of concrete columns and is accessed by to two bridges on the second floor.
The Turbo Toaster Serves Breakfast in 50 Seconds
Turbo Toaster could be your obvious choice. It bakes your toast within 50 seconds. Unlike conventional toaster that pass the current through corresponding metal chains or channels that eat lot of time to heat and cool, the built-in giant fan into the turbo version has a giant fan that takes in air. It is heated by the metal rudiments and darned at the bread, making toast within no time. Designed by Oliver Newberry, a graduate of Central St Martins College in London, it is still a prototype.
The idea clicked Oliver’s nerves when he was making his desired meal “” beans on toast and this conceptualized toaster can be seen as a result of a sheer frustration that beans turn cold by the time the toast is served.
White Truffle at Charity Auction
The long anticipated wait for the sale of Italian white truffle came to an end lately when Macau billionaire Stanley Ho made the highest bid of record $330,000 for a white truffle at a charity auction across the three cities of London, Florence and Macau. The bid thrashed the contending bids from the U.K-based artist Damien Hirst and Sheik Mansoor Bin Zayed al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi.
The 1.5-kilogram (3.3 pounds) tuber magnatum pico, a largest truffle was identified on 23 November by an italian truffle hunter who spent almost an hour digging down 80cm (2.6ft) uncovered in half a century near Pisa. Later, Cristiano and Luciano Savini donated the truffle to the International Tuscan Truffle Auction. The event, in its fifth year, was held simultaneously ON 1 December in London, Florence and Macau. The previous record for a truffle was $212,000.
$100 Santa Bathed in Peter Paul Chocolates
Whilst days back we bought Ginza’s Tanaka’s creation of $18, 17,355 Santa Claus dipped in Gold on to the board inviting filthy-rich, today there comes another avatar of Santa attracting all foodies. Featured above is a seemingly sculptural creation of $100 Santa by Paul McCarthy. This 10″³ Chocolate Santa is not made up of ordinary chocolates but carries a tag of “Peter Paul Chocolates.” Weighing one-pound, bell-ringing chocolate Santa holds the Christmas and consumes 14 oz. of Guittard semi-sweet dark chocolate.
$455 USB Christmas Cake
The excuse of being neck-deep in work or eyeing 200 million yen Santa Claus. If the latter is too much to stop you from celebrating Christmas in high spirit then you can invest some money in a $455 USB Creamy Christmas Cake.
This would rather honor your workstation that has been a dry place since long. It features four ports that are adorned with four USB Strawberries providing 1GB memory. Presently the cake is available from SolidAlliance in Japan but would be available online at Strapya.com. The last date scheduled for placing an order is 3 December.
Ought to be a Tasty Burger @$1344
No one should compromise at the cost of sustenance. Be it hamburgers, foie gras or burgers, you should go for one that can make your tongue smile. Foie gras may not do you the needed favor as ducks and geese are forced to fed in order to generate the outsized fatty livers that make foie gras such a frailty. Since 11 November, the Smile Burger was available from Smile Burger Kiyomizu Temple Stores.
World’s First Gold Plated Juicer
There are products that are you can’t afford to buy but are irresistible in nature. One such product is gold-plated fruit and vegetable juicer with its asset of Enzyme “Nutrition Extractor’. Retailed at $3k, this electronic product works equally well to extract big bucks from your bank balance.
Japan Platinum Cake
The cake can only excite your eyes rather than bringing a smile on your tongue. It is the major highlight of the promotional event for Platinum Guild International happening in Tokyo. I am sure this cake can debar women from buying jewelry and investing the same amount in buying this cake. Killing the hopes of the aspirants to buy this cake, the organizers are not in a mood to sell it immediately. So, pretty females keep your senses open and attack it when you smell its fragrance ready to be sold.
World’s most high-priced coffee!
If you can fall for those looney art wrapper chocolates which doesn’t make any difference to the taste of the chocolate you might as well splurge on something more “tasteful’. This coffee is rightly described as “rich with jungle and chocolate undertones, mysterious and flavorsome”. Here is a little trivia on the name Kopi Luwak which is otherwise a very strange name for a coffee! The name is based on Indonesian words for coffee and civet.
A palm mammal, the civet digests the outer layer of coffee cherries and then excretes the coffee beans and this adds a unique flavor to the beans no wonder it is claimed to be really rare.
