Each week I really look forward to the What Is This? feature. I absolutely love hunting for weird gadgets and gizmos. Over the year I've uncovered a few stumpers — I knew what they were and still couldn't believe it — as well as a few things that would make our lives easier. Here, clockwise from the top left corner, are my favorite gizmos. Do you know what they are?

• You'll wow folks with your dishes with the help of these green Betty Bossi gizmos.
• This menacing-looking silver tool actually does something quite simple.
• I have to admit, this is a pretty useless blue gadget, but could make for a great gag gift.
• This yellow gadget actually started the What Is This? series.
• Here's a fresh-looking gadget that comes with an error-proof indicator light and is dishwasher safe.
