King Arthur Individual Pie Slice Pan
Over the Thanksgiving holiday one thing became abundantly clear. I must learn portion control during the holidays from here on out. This cool item is going to help me win that battle. Whether it is an intimate dinner for two you are planning on making or making different pies without making the whole thing, this is for you! The individual slice pan shapes and bakes a perfect wedge-shaped serving every time. Stoneware pan is perfect for hot fruit crisp, potpie, and other treats that tend to ooze or collapse when theyre cut and served. It makes a 5 wedge-shaped serving with a 2/3 cup capacity. It comes in a set of 2 and is dishwasher-safe. Priced at $6.99 online. Free shipping! Twitter: @KingArthurFlour
OETZI3300 Shoes
The name is a little odd I would say. But these shoes are definitely not your run-of-the-mill sneakers. The designer based this design a mummified pair of shoes found on an early man nicknamed Oetzi whose remains were preserved since 3300 B.C. in a glacier. This pair has a much more modern comfort and design than back in 3300 B.C. Priced at $134.00 in store.
Available at SportieLA, 7753 Melrose Ave. (323) 651-1553.
FlexiTote Shower Tote
If you are a weekday gym warrior like I try to be, youll find this handy. I recently started a morning gym routine to prevent packing on the holiday pounds. Due to my commute, I dont have time to go back home and shower so I have to get ready at the gym. Everyone, including myself, is worried about MRSA, H1N1 and even athletes foot. This tote keeps all your supplies in one place and can be easily mashed into your gym bag since it is made of a semi-soft plastic. Priced at $4.99 online.
Wi-Fi Detection Shirt
This is a lot more fun and cooler than those cheesy keychain Wi-Fi detectors! You might attract some curious stares, but it seems that everyone in LA is fine with the attention. This shirt illuminates with actual 802.11b or 802.11g Wi-Fi signal strength. The Electro-luminescence technology uses a small electric current that passes through a phosphorus material. Magic happens and you have an accurate Wi-Fi detector! It is lightweight, flexible, and waterproof, generates no heat and only requires 2 AAA batteries. Priced at $34.99 on the website.
