This slot-free Kapoosh Knife Holder is a unique twist on a kitchen favorite. No need to find a specific slot, because the special freedom rods (thousands of thin plastic rods compressed together) hold the knives in place and let users add in virtually any size/shape knife. Especially great when you find yourself with a bunch of old mis-matched knives in your drawers.

No slots means you can store more utensils too. Line up knives in different directions or closer together. Plus, no slots help keep knives sharper longer because you’re not continuously scraping the blades against a hard wooden edge, as is the case with standard knife blocks. Built with a woodgrain exterior and removable, dishwasher safe rods.

If you’ll be doing a lot of cooking/baking this Thanksgiving, the Cuisinart DFP-3 Handy Prep 3-Cup Food Processor is a helpful appliance to have in your kitchen. And at 67% off the retail price, it’s an even better find! Regularly retails for $110, now on for $36.

Not too shabby a deal considering it’s a Cuisinart. A bit on the small side, (smaller than a standard food processor), but good for cooks who are short on space yet still need a variety of processing options.

I’m already loving this product, and I haven’t even tried it yet.

The T-fal ActiFry is part of the Nutritious & Delicious Series of T-Fal products, designed to shake up the way we prepare our favorite meals.

The unique selling feature of the ActiFry is that it cooks food in a healthier way but still retains the same flavors and textures we’ve come to expect from our favorite eats.

Take fries for example. The appliance features a unique patented technology that combines a heating system and stirring paddle to somehow cook up tasty homemade fries with just 1 tablespoon of oil!

That means 1 spoonful of oil in the ActiFry can cook up to 2 pounds of french fries – enough to feed a family of four. I know, hard to believe!

That equates to one french fry with only 3% fat content in the ActiFry vs. up to 18% fat in a fry prepared the traditional way. Mind you, you have to use good oil of course (like olive or canola), to achieve those low-cal results.

It’s versatile too – the ActiFry can be used to prepare meats, poultry, fish, risotto – even granola and desserts. With little to no oil required.

So not only does it create lower-fat versions of the foods we all love, but because there’s so little oil required, it means a safer cooking experience and virtually no oil to dispose of either.

Watch it in action here.

The ActiFry is currently available in Europe under the Tefal brand. You can find it in North America in select kitchen supply stores and specialty retailers, or you can pre-order one now for $299. That way, you’re ready to rock when it hits the masses.

If you own a dog, especially a small breed like I do, you know they bury their little mugs in their food, slop it all around, push the bowl everywhere and basically make a mess of their face and your floors. It’s not the dog’s fault, it’s because most feeding dishes aren’t designed from a dog’s POV.

Introducing the Hugx Pet Feeding Bowl and Stand. It’s unique contoured bowl and arched stand make it easier for dogs to eat by placing food at near eye-level and eliminating the deep grooves/corners in traditional bowls that make dogs want to bury their heads in the first place.

The Hugx Pet Bowl also won the 2008 Lifestyle Innovation Award at New York Pet Fashion Week (yes, there’s a NY Pet Fashion Week).

The FroliCat BOLT is the gift that keeps on giving. This pet toy automatically projects red laser patterns onto any surface, providing endless entertainment for your feline. Just hold the BOLT in your hand or set it on any flat surface. Turn it on and watch your cat go into attack mode as it tries to keep up.

Auto mode generates random patterns and manual mode lets owners control the action. You can even adjust the mirror to project the laser across various surfaces, like floors and ceilings.

The FroliCat automatically turns off after 15 minutes of play and also includes a manual on-off switch. Good for dogs too, but I find cats funnier to watch. Check out the video here.

We’ve profiled fog-free shower mirrors before, but the Sharper Image MP3 Wireless Speaker Fog-Free Shower Mirror takes it one step further by adding music to the mix.

As the name implies, the system’s wireless – just dock your MP3 player into the cradle and it’ll transmit your tunes wirelessly (up to 100′ away) to the fog-free shower mirror. The mirror, in turn, is built with four 2-Watt waterproof speakers that fill your bathroom with sound.

Controls on the mirror allow for adjusting volume or switching to FM radio. The mirror also functions as a digital clock.

And right now it’s on sale for only $50.

There are so many alarm clocks on the market, it’s hard to get excited about one anymore. But the TimeSmart Self-Setting Alarm Clock really is different. It’s so smart it never needs setting or resetting!

Simply plug it in and choose your time zone – the TimeSmart will automatically set the correct time, and even resets itself after its unplugged or the power goes out. Talk about convenient!

The battery back-up system lasts up to five years, so it ensures the time is consistently accurate, even in the event of several power interruptions. When there is a power outage, the TimeSmart retains the correct time, your preferred alarm settings and the date.

The alarm clock can adjust to 6 time zones, and auto-adjusts for Daylight Savings Time too. I’m also a fan of the dual crescendo alarms which wake you up gradually and let you set 2 different wake-up times. Perfect for couples on different morning routines.

All this for only $40.

There’s also a TimeSmart Self-Setting Alarm Clock Radio for $65, which has all the same features as above, but also with a digital AM/FM radio and auxiliary port for headphones, CD and MP3 players.
