You'll be looking forward to waking up and having breakfast with this super cute and functional Salt + Peeper Birdy Shaker ($10 USD). Turn his head to the right and his eyes change from blue to white and his beak dispenses salt; turn it left and his eyes turn black and as expected sprinkles pepper.

We heart these super cute disposable pop-up paper placemats ($24 USD) designed by Lian Ng - each design incorporates an area that doubles as a name card, they come in packs of 10 and are available in three different designs - Bird Cage, Mail Box, and Tree. These are a must-have for your next dinner party.

Twin brothers Antony and Richard Joseph launched their company in September 2002, and since then their incredibly creative and function based designs have made them one of the most innovative kitchenware companies out there. This ingenious Joseph Joseph Colander ($28 USD) folds completely flat for easy storage in the kitchen. Moulded from polypropylene it uses 12 live hinges to achieve its transformation.

Royal VKB is always coming out with great products, and this time these Silicone Trivets ($9 USD) designed by Ontwerpwerk, caught our eye. Colorful and cute, these animal shaped trivets will liven up and protect any table.

Since most of us here at IHL are canadian, we always love it when we can feature the product of a canadian company or designer. Ideal for small-space living this THOUT UtiliTILE Forked Up ($300 USD) is part of a series of simple-to-mount elegantly lacquered wall tiles, this tile is useful for storing your utensils in a fun and space saving way, as if hurled into the wall by a knife thrower. THOUT makes us proud to be canadian!

Lately it seems we've been spending more time in the kitchen, and when our old timer bit the dust, we went out searching for a replacement, and came across this Kitchen Tape Timer ($18 USD) designed by Jozeph Forakis, simply pull the ring to set the time, and as time passes, the tape ticks down, and when no tape is left, the timer rings. We love the fresh take on this kitchen essential.
