SodaStream Fizz Home Drinks MakerTools
Item: SodaStream FizzPrice: $179.99Overall Impression: Less streamlined than some other models but the Fizz Chip indicator is very useful. We are avid drinkers of carbonated water and homemade soda in my household, and the SodaStream, which can convert tap water to sparkling water in a matter of seconds, is one of the appliances we use most. When our SodaStream Pure model died after two years of near-constant use, I was curious to try the company’s latest model, the Fizz.

My Family’s Obsession with Adorable IcePeople
Our refrigerator has an ice maker. Like many ice makers, it doesn’t really work. (Ours works sporadically, dumping a ton of ice in the middle of the night and waking me from a deep sleep, with my heart pounding. Fun times.) A while ago, we decided to go old school and keep a bunch of ice trays in the freezer. Then we got obsessed, finding interesting trays wherever we went.It started with a tray of six enormous cubes.

Why the Sterling Silver Iced Tea Spoon Is Good for So Much More Than TeaKitchen
When we got married, my aunt gave us two sterling silver iced tea spoons, promising I could use them for so much more than tea. Which is good, because — get ready to take away my Southern card — I don’t like iced tea. I know. But my aunt was right. These spoons are good for so much more. This Mother’s Day, maybe your mom would love to put her feet up on the ottoman and sip a lovely glass of lavender iced tea with lemon.

You and Your Wall Will Love This New Bottle OpenerTools
Usually, wall-mounted bottle openers are those hefty, very industrial (and not in a cool, trendy way!) ones that we’re used to seeing at Irish pubs. You know what we’re talking about, right? Well, two Brooklyn-based designers, Mike Boylan and Danielle Pecora, rethought the classic opener (which, fun fact, was created in the 1920s). We think you’ll love what they came up with as much as we do.

How Do I Stock My First Home Bar?Skills
Q: I am setting up a home bar for the first time and would like recommendations on what types of liquors and other ingredients would make for a good “starter bar,” with sufficient versatility but not a lot of things that would just sit around unused. We like gin-based drinks (Beehive is a great local gin for us), and my husband likes scotch. We’re interested in trying vodka-based drinks too, but rum is generally a bit sweet for us. Any recommendations to get us started?
