Check out these neat shot glasses! Called the Envious Illuminated Shot Glasses, they light up for 6 seconds when the glass is tapped or slammed.

They’re built out of really good quality glass which resists all the slamming and abuse you can throw at them (within reason).

Priced at $9.99 and available online, these shot glasses are a nice addition to any party and will surely light up your night / day / whenever.

Looking for an easy way to open cans? I personally cannot stand those annoying tin openers with arms that you have to carefully manipulate into place. No, when I cook I want things to happen fast!

That’s why I’d recommend the Black & Decker Ergo Can Opener. It comes with a large and comfortable handle, making it easy to hold the tool in your hand. It has a sharp cutting mechanism that can slice througgh tin like a knife through hot butter. The combination of this easy handle and cutter makes this a great tool for people who find holding tools difficult because of arthritis or carpal tunnel.

What’s great about the Ergo Can Opener is that you don’t even need to hold the can in place, the Ergo Can Opener does all the work for you. Once it has cut open the can, it just cuts off automatically.

Features include:

• Dishwasher-proof, removable cutting device.
• Lightweight, easy to lift at just 6oz.
• Easy to use for both left / right handed people.
• Comes with a full 1 year warranty.

“A traditional pattern of deep diamond cuts and sparkling fan tails decorate the mug stylishly. They would be ideal for serving Irish coffee at a dinner party.”
