Spicelab
Admittedly, some of mom’s dinners could qualify as science experiments. Spicelab mounts her seasonings on the wall – freeing up cabinet space, and making spices easily accessible. Frames available in nine different colors. Test tubes come filled with rosemary, fennel seeds, crushed chili peppers, minced garlic, coriander, basil, oregano, and ammonium nitrate. (Kidding! I kid.)

Business Card File
A card from the dentist, the contractor, the twelve contacts from a networking event, and one from the annoyingly efficient mom who had play-date calling cards printed for her toddler – all of them are smashed in the bottom of mom’s behemoth purse. Who has time to plug that information into an address book? This spare, matte aluminum box lets her organize business cards by simply dropping them in, no further effort required. Now she has time for a cocktail.
