Back in the dark days of 2006, we featured a Lego ice cube maker, which knocked out frozen blocks the shape of lego bricks. Well, now the company has gone one better with the Lego Minifigure ice cube maker.

I think you've guessed how this works and what it does – just add water to the blue tray and in a matter of an hour or so, you'll have your own mini army of Minifigures, ready to pop into a glass, as well as impress your mates.

It's available via the Lego store right now, £3.99 gets you one.

Love Hate teapot by Welovekaoru

Posted on | Leave a comment

LovehateteapotLooking for a teapot with a bit more attitude than the usual designs? Check out the Love Hate teapot from Welovekarou.

The design is inspired by the 1955 film The Night of the Hunter and the Love/Hate tattoos across character Harry Powell's knuckles. One side of the teapot shows Love, illustrated by a traditional tattoo style heart and doves. The other side of course shows hate – portrayed by a dagger going through a heart. Something to ponder over a pot of tea!

The teapot costs £60 while you can get the same design on a cup and saucer for £28 for a cup and saucer.

The Vintage Table

Posted on | Leave a comment

Product17Having a lot of people around for afternoon tea? Let The Vintage Table lighten the load.

The Vintage Table supplies crockery for hire for events around London, the twist being – as you might expect from the name – that the crockery is all vintage. It ranges in date from the 1920s through to the '60s and includes such charming gems as the coffee pot pictured which is from the 1930s.  The service grew out of the personal ceramics collection of the owner Claire and has no doubt been helped along by her antique dealer father. 

The company offers the hire, set-up and styling and even washing-up, if desired. To give you an idea of price, hire of crockery for afternoon tea for 50 people costs £240.

For a now just-about grown up generation of gamers, this suitably bright yellow plastic tray allows you to make ice cubes in the shape of Pac-Man and the ghosts (complete with their blank eyes). You could could even get creative with your food colourings and colour the ice to match the game characters.
