2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Kid Puzzle Dinner Tray

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Smart Home, Kids, Under $100, Under $250, Under $50, Under $500,

We've all been told not to play without food as youngsters, but no one ever said anything about the plates and cutlery, did they (maybe I wasn't paying attention)? Whatever the case, this plastic dinner set is meant to teach the little ones some very basic geometry while simultaneously getting them to keep their table setting organized, so we're featuring it in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide. The rubber padding on the bottom keeps everything in place nicely, minimizing spillage.

You can pick up the Kid Puzzle Dinner Tray now from Amazon for $49.99.

2013 Holiday Gift Guide: Georg Jensen Arne Jacobsen 5-piece Steel Cutlery Set

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Design, Smart Home, Family, Techies, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500,

If this matte stainless flatware looks familiar, that's probably because it's what Dave used when chowing down in 2001: A Space Odyssey. That makes it good enough to appear in our 2013 Holiday Gift Guide. It was already a classic by the time that film dropped in 1968. Designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1957, the Georg Jensen set typifies the Danish architect's smooth space-age aesthetic. Now you can get a set of your very own.

You can pick up the Georg Jensen Arne Jacobsen 5-piece Steel Cutlery Set now from Amazon for $95.
