Mighty Mug cups use magic to prevent spills


How many times of you accidentally knocked over a drink at home, or work? It’s not only a pain to clean up the mess, but it’s kind of embarrassing too. The obvious solution is to be more careful, but we all know that accidents happen and just paying more attention won’t always prevent the next spill. What we need is some magic and Mighty Mugs have it. 

What are Might Mugs? They are a collection of beverage containers that have benn designed with a special base that stops spilling because they won’t tip over.

Beverage holders from Mighty Mug use Smartgrip technology to create an airtight seal against flat surfaces, so they can’t be knocked over because they only lift in one direction which is up.

There are Mighty Mugs for every purpose, from stainless steel travel mugs, plastic tumbers, and even beer and wine glasses.

Priced starting at $16.99, you can read more about Mighty Mugs by visiting themightymug.com. You can order one from The Grommet or Amazon.

Your greatest dream of drinking coffee from a horn has come true


No, Gadgeteers, I am not kidding. Apparently, travel mugs in the shape of a horn are the next big thing. Or that’s what the fine coffee loving folks at Goat Story hope will be true with their GOAT MUG.

What the heck is a GOAT MUG Julie? Well, my friends, it’s a 12 or 16-ounce BPA-free mug that’s shaped like a horn. A goat’s horn to be exact.

Featuring attachment points at the top and bottom for the included strap, the leakproof GOAT MUG has been designed to be worn over your shoulder while you’re on the go.

When you get to your destination, you can remove the cuff, flip it around, and it becomes a stand for the horn/mug. Kooky or cool? I’ll let you be the judge if this is a useful beverage container or a hipster coffee chalice.

The crazy thing is that the GOAT MUG was a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that brought in more than $450,000 of pledges, so go figure.

Want one a GOAT MUG? It’s is now available for $28.50 and up depending on the size and strap material. Visit Goat Story and Amazon for more info.

All you need to pop the top on a cold one, is this iPhone case


Summer is so close that I can almost taste it. What does summer taste like? Grilled hamburgers and a cold beer. That’s why a bottle cap opener is the most important tool of summer, so here’s an iPhone case that makes sure you’ll always have one on hand. Wait, what?

Toddy Gear has just launched its bottle opener case for the iPhone 6, 6s, and 7 (sorry plus-sized iPhone peeps). This low profile, durable, fade and scratch-resistant case features a stainless steel opener for bottles and can tabs built right into the back of the case.

The case is made of sealed, moisture-proof hard-shell plastic so you won’t have to worry about getting beer foam all over your phone.

You can choose one of Toddy Gear’s existing designs or if you’re the artistic type, you can design your own ultimate custom case.

The Toddy Gear iPhone Bottle Opener case is priced at $27.99 if you want to use your own design, or $25.99 if you choose one of Toddy Gear’s designs. Visit toddygear.com for more info and check them out on Amazon too.

Velv will let you oxygenate young wine in no time

An unexpected visit from an old friend and an unopened bottle of Caymus. If you’re amongst the fortunate few to have old friends and a bottle of Caymus you surely know how tragic this event is. But wait! Don’t despair! There’s a gadget to the rescue!  The newly available Velv Wine Oxygenator will develop that bottle’s best bouquet in no time, using 99.5% oxygen to imbue a soft, silky taste and optimal aromatics in three to seven minutes, depending on the varietal.  The Velv uses an oxygen capsule in the handle and a long wand with a sintered tip to disperse microbubbles of oxygen into the wine, even within the bottle.  The manufacturers claim that by increasing the amount of Oxygen, reactions that alter the bouquet are completed more quickly and therefore occur before aroma and taste are lost due to the traditional decanting process. Intrigued? Curiosity will cost you – the starter kit costs $300 and includes the Velv Wine Oxygenator, one Velv PUREOXYGEN capsule, and a Velv Protective Case. Each capsule can prepare approximately 5 to 10 bottles of wine, and additional 2-packs of capsules are available online for $25. For more information, visit www.velvwine.com.
