We take food seriously, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fun in the kitchen. These quirky cooking accessories and kitchen gadgets will add a dash of whimsy to your favourite room in the house – and while they might not be absolutely necessary, we can guarantee they’ll put a smile on your face. Warning: Cheesy puns ahead. And maybe even some actual cheese.
Yolky Egg Separator – From crème brûlée to angel food cake, the world is full of delicious reasons to separate eggs, but it can be an eggsasperating process. This egg separator makes it easier and less messy – and looks adorable while doing it.
Lap Cat Napkins – Even if meal etiquette dictates placing your napkin in your lap, we don’t always do it – but everyone at the dinner table will remember their manners with these purr-fect little napkins printed to look like a furry friend is taking a cat nap in your lap.
Strawberry Huller – Nobody needs a strawberry huller, you say? Scoff if you will, but as strawberry season progresses, we think you’ll start to see it our way. Plus, this delightful strawberry-inspired tool is just too cute to resist.
Rock’n’Roll Oven Mitt – Channel your inner Bowie and rock on as you bake, broil and roast your way into the culinary hall of fame. Made in Milan, where it’s screen-printed by hand on natural-fibre fabric, this oven mitt is just begging for you to tie on that apron and turn up the tunes.
Funny Veggies Kitchen Towels – Not just healthy and colourful, these veggies have jokes! This series of pun-derful microfibre kitchen towels feature wisecracking carrots, beets, artichokes and more, bringing a splash of colour and a dash of humour to your kitchen.

Cool Mama Fridge Deodoriser – This little lady abhors yucky fridge odours, and so she absorbs them for you. Just fill her with baking soda, set the dial to the current month (so you’ll know when to refill with fresh baking soda), and put her to work knocking out those unpleasant smells that waft around every time you open the fridge. That’s right, stinky cheese fumes are a thing of the past!
Funny Face Serving Platter – Equal parts kooky and artsy, this handmade serving dish is a bonafide reason to play with your food. Give it some potato chip hair, olive teeth, salsa eyes – your imagination (and your pantry) is the limit.
Unzipped Glass Zipper Bag – Single-use plastic bags are an eco sin, but this hand-blown glass bowl is a triple win – it’s useful, reusable and a sure-fire conversation piece. A tongue-in-cheek nod to the throwaway items that litter our lives, the bowl is as much a work of art – “the temporary made contemporary” – as it is a whimsical accessory.
Cheese Log Board And Knife Set – We promised you cheese, after all. Serve your tastiest moulds with offbeat flair on this beechwood cheeseboard made to look like a tree stump, complete with a stainless steel “axe”. Flannel lumberjack shirt not included.
Ninjabread Men – You’ll get a kick out of these karate-chopping cookie cutters, arranging them to duke it out on the baking tray before you stealthily stuff them in your mouth. When it comes to these sparring matches, your taste buds will always be the winners.
Flower Power Steam Releaser – Every chef knows that trying to balance a slightly ajar lid is risky business – and usually ends in a mess when the lid falls shut and the pot boils over. This clip-on steam releaser is a cute and clever solution to the problem – and the petals will even spin when the steam rises.
Gracula Garlic Crusher – Everybody knows vampires hate garlic, but not this guy! If you need your garlic crushed and smushed, Gracula is your man. Maybe keep him away from the silver though, just in case.
Clean Dreams Kitchen Sponge Holder – Say “goodnight” to yucky damp sponges. When you’re finished cleaning, put your trusty sponge to bed in its adorable holder – complete with ventilation holes and two itty bitty pillows – and have sweet dreams knowing it will be dry come morning.
Jonah Toothpick Dispenser – There’s no call for boring toothpick dispensers, when you can put this happy little guy to work storing and dispensing toothpicks that double as his baleen smile. You’ll have a whale of a time showing him off, guaranteed.
Veggie Pop Popsicle Maker – Making your own popsicles is a fun summer pastime, and a good way to up your intake of vitamin-filled fruits. To add an extra element of whimsy, try making them in this “planter” – the leaves are even designed so that the popsicles can stand on their own and prevent sticky messes. Genius!
