Décor and practicality rarely go together so well.

Keeping food surfaces super clean is always a big concern whether you suffer from allergies or worry about contamination from fish or chicken. Washing is good, but this new knife set takes things one step further by introducing a holder that zaps your knives with Ultraviolet-C light that eliminates up to 99.9-percent of germs, viruses, and bacteria including salmonella, dust mites, and odors. So cut away, wash, put away, and turn the light on. It will take care of the rest and then turn itself off.
5: AquaFarm

From the same young duo that created the 10 Day Mushroom Kit, this invention puts an even bigger smile on your face. With a hydroponic garden upstairs and an aquarium downstairs, you can grow kitchen herbs while keeping happy fish and learning how our earth’s circulation system works. The fish feed the plants and the plants clean the water!
