BBQ Branding Iron

BBQ Branding Iron

So you’ve got a few dozen friends over for a little summer grillin’ and your grill is covered in steaks and burgers each with a special request on how done your friends want them to be.

After friendly request number 15 you’ve probably lost track of which steak is who’s. Good thing the BBQ Branding Iron is here to save the day!

This grilling gadget lets you create a custom branding iron so you can burn your friends name (or how well their steak is done) right into that slab of meat!


LampLamp – The double ended lightbulb

LampLamp

Lightbulbs have led a fairly boring life. Until now. It’s subtle, but the LampLamp is actually quite interesting once it’s in use.

At $28 a pop, they are a tad expensive though.


Build a drinking pipeline with Strawz

Strawz

Mom always said not to play with your food, but this is just too cool to pass up.

Strawz are a set of straws and connectors that let you build a pipeline to their drink…or multiple drinks!

A set of Strawz is $15.


You like to drizzle? Fo’ shizzle?

Drizzler There are kitchen gadgets for just about any task. Thankfully another one has made its way to the market.

The Drizzler was created to help you do just that. Drizzle.

Sometimes deserts require that icing be drizzle on top. Previously you had to go the somewhat awkward and messy route of piling the icing on a spoon and then letting it drip of. No more!

Pick up a Drizzler for a reasonably priced $9!


Concrete Bulb Hook

Concrete Bulb Hook

I’m quite positive one of the things you’ve always wanted is a concrete hook shaped like a lightbulb. Lucky for you, I’ve found it.

Moder Dose has a concrete “hook” for sale that is the shape and size of a standard light bulb.

They are made by hollowing out a lightbulb, filling it with concrete, letting it cure and then turning it into something you can screw in to your wall!

Each of these bulb hooks will cost you around $25.

Okay, now that you’re back from checking that out, it’s clear that Global Rich List serves a much bigger purpose than just telling you how rich you are. Chances are, if you’re able to access the internet and are reading a blog about “stuff”, no matter what you’re income is you are still in the top 10% of the richest people in the world.

That is because, regardless of how little money you think you make, you are extremely rich in comparison to the rest of the world.

Global Rich List was put together by the folks at Poke to help raise awareness for how even donating a small amount of money can change the lives of others around the world.

$8 could buy you 15 organic apples OR 25 fruit trees for farmers in Honduras to grow and sell fruit at their local market.

$30 could buy you an ER DVD Boxset OR a First Aid kit for a village in Haiti.

$73 could buy you a new mobile phone OR a new mobile health clinic to care for AIDS orphans in Uganda.
