Summer is the time for ice creams. But then again, almost every joyous occasion is a time for ice cream. Also, there’s nothing like an ice cream to pick your moods up when you’re feeling down. Sometimes though, ice creams get to cold to handle or may easily melt when the weather is too hot. When that happens, you don’t get to enjoy the ice cream all that much, right? Sometimes I use paper towels to protect my hand from the cold. I also use the same paper towels to wipe the drips from the melting ice cream can.

But If I had an insulated thermal sleeve like this, then there shouldn’t be any problem.

These sleeve is made of neoprene material that allows to be fitted snugly on to the ice cream gallon. It helps your hands stay warm as the ice cream remains cold and creamy. The sleeve is easy to keep as there are magnetic sticks to the side of it, so you can just stick it out on the refrigerator.

• Product Description
  Made to the same high standards as our pint keeper, this neoprene sleeve fits snugly over a delicious pint of ice cream, extending your indulgent time, while ensuring your hands stay warm and your ice cream cold.

The sleeve is available only in pink, which is actually pretty cute. It’s also priced at an affordable $8. If you are buying them online, then get plenty of it to give away as presents to your Mother-friends and relatives this Sunday (Mother’s Day).

This Health Smart Steamer is so efficient. You can cook plenty of food with it, all at the same time. Simultaneously cook rice or vegetable on the top part of the tray and then steam fish or chicken on the lower layers. The process is with less grease and nutrients remain locked in to the food. If you aren’t eating right away, the steamer will keep it warm until it is ready to be served.

Because of this, too, preparation is less time consuming and you will have more time for yourself or your family.

To encourage kids to eat healthy, designer Irene Ivanova has come up with this really cool packaging for delicious healthy snacks. The main purpose of this is to capture the appeal and interest of children and teenagers, which will then help them develop healthy eating habits.

These items are available to purchase via this vending machine design concept,  I think is pretty clever.

So, instead of junk foods and colas that are all over vending machines in schools and the malls, this one is definitely the better alternative.

What’s more, the concept to purchasing this comes via a Vita-Smart Card reader kids can wear like a cool accessory chain on their neck andh should “simplify the food buying process”.

Clever isn’t it? When this idea rolls into the actual market is still not known. But the outline of the whole concept follows after cut…

I wonder what these bag of chips taste like. There are chips that do not contain an ounce of calories in them…so your waist doesn’t expand even if you’ve gobbled a thousand bags. Apparently, it is like “eating tasty air” and I don’t know if I find that too appealing because why would you wanna munch on air? Will you feel fool after that?

Slim Chips are actually edible PAPER. Yep, paper you can eat! And it is made from organic ingredients. Digestible? I’m not exactly sure. But I don’t doubt that this product is rich in fiber.

This is still a prototype though. But if you would like to know once the product takes off and is sold in the market, just check this site for updates.

I’m not quite sure if this is a gag gift or one that is practically useful. But I know that in some offices, a lot of food at the common office fridge end up being eaten by somebody else. This plastic bag poses a solution. Because who would wanna eat somebody’s moldy sandwich?
