3) Coldwave Beverage Chiller
Thanks to this instant drink chiller, hot beverages chill out to icy cold in under two minutes—without diluted flavor. The pitcher and insert combo is made with BPA-free, high-density plastic tubes filled with filtered water. Keep the insert in the freezer for quick cool-downs of coffee, tea, beer, wine, and even fizzy drinks.
4) Original Round Cutting Board
The wood from this self-healing, end grain cutting board is harvested and assembled in a small, Nova Scotia mill. They cut it to expose the intricate patterns and gradients of the growth rings. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the fibers are lined vertically to close and heal after you’ve cut them. That keeps knives sharper and your board cleaner. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom Larch Wood board will last you a lifetime.
5) Ceramic Cooking & Serving Tagine Pot
This tagine pot is perfect for cooking and serving food at home. The dome-shaped lid allows for the ingredients within the pot to steam out, creating flavorful meals. Kamsah's proprietary handcrafting process ensures that your tagines are of the highest quality with absolutely no aesthetic defects. Each piece is made by local women for a fair wage in Nabeul, Tunisia, a city that’s been making renowned ceramics for centuries. And Kamsah supports the region even further, giving 10% of its profits to causes that benefit its artisans.
