YumSugar Gift Guide: Wacky White Elephant

partysugar — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 10:54:13 -0800

A White Elephant is a type of gift exchange in which each guest is asked to bring an anonymous wrapped gift. Usually, there is a maximum amount of money that can be spent, and oftentimes the gifts are unpractical and eccentric. If you are attending a White Elephant party bring fun shaped ice cube trays. A set of Emeril's spices are hysterical and could provoke conversation about the future of Food Network. However, my favorite gift is this chicken kitchen timer. It's ten percent bizarre and 90 percent practical. I definitely wouldn't buy it for myself, but it would be fun to get at a White Elephant gift exchange.

The Summer is heating up and there is no better way to cool down than with a refreshing, cold drink. Although my fridge is a newer model, it doesn't have a built in ice maker: I have to use ice cube trays to make ice. Currently I have only two trays which is problematic for entertaining, so I asked you to help me expand my collection of ice cube trays. You looked for all types of ice cube trays in fun colors and shapes. You saved your finds in the Yum Market on TeamSugar with the keyword tag, Ice Cube Trays.

How cool are these synthetic rubber ice cube trays by Ikea? MsMO likes the long tray because she uses the skinny cubes in water bottles. However, I love her recommendation for the Fourth of July: she thinks the stars cubes would be fun in cocktails! Browse more trays below.

Tetris Ice Cube Trays: Love It or Leave It?

GeekSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:15:36 -0800

My first thought when I saw these Tetris ice cube trays was - do I have glasses big enough to play Tetris with my ice cubes? Dubbed Tetrice by Martin Zampach, these are a little more fleshed out than the Instructables version that yumsugar featured, but it's only a concept for now. Lets see, you could play a really freaking cold and low-tech version of the game, or pop 'em in a pitcher of drinks for your geeky guests, but I don't know that I'd buy these when I know I can make them. What do you think?

Frozen Smiles Ice Cube: Love It or Hate It?

YumSugar — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 04:00:18 -0700

While I was browsing online the other day, I came across this Frozen Smiles ice cube tray, which molds ice into dentures. It had me in stitches, and I think it would be a hilarious prank to pull on a friend. Do you agree, or does this ice cube tray gross you out?

Lego Ice Cube Tray: Totally Geeky or Geek Chic?

GeekSugar — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 08:00:02 -0700

There are very few universal truths, but one of them is the fact that geeks love Legos. A few months ago YumSugar introduced us to the Lego Lunchbox, which is undoubtedly the ideal carrier for any mathlete, science geek or Lego-loving kid out there, but not exactly appropriate for the adult crowd. Luckily, adults can revel in the Lego love with this LEGO Ice Brick Tray. It's only $7.99 and will produce bricks that can be slipped into summer time drinks or turned into sculptures. Are these too youthful and geeky for your kitchen, or do you think they'd be a fun addition to your next iced tea pitcher?
