Mighty Haus: Products from December 2004

Magnetic Spice Rack

This is the only reasonably priced magnetic spice rack I’ve ever seen. I love the concept, but I’d probably throw away the stand and just nail a sheet of aluminum to the wall above the stove. The containers are the neat part. Nine spices included: mustard seed, pizza seasoning, caraway seed, bay leaves, coriander, mint, basil, marjoram, and oregano.

loophole porcelain lamp

ON SALE Here’s a lamp that glows like a candle. This would make an unintrusive reading lamp, or it could supply just the right mood lighting for a mellow evening at home. Has an on/off switch on the cord and takes a 60-watt bulb.

Ice Cream Chiller

This is my new favorite present for pregnant friends. It makes you feel much more dignified when you devour an entire carton of ice cream at one sitting. Or, you know, you can use it to keep ice cream chilled when you have guests over. Pfft.

Plum Blossom Plate

Ah! Perfection, these bone-china dessert plates. Purchase one and eat something chocolate with a small silver fork. Of course, with plates this exquisite, you’ll also need hemstitched linen napkins, and perhaps a touch of champagne. Here’s to your good taste.
