An ice shaver is one of those things you didn’t know you needed until you got it. This ice shaver is portable and compact, so you can take it on the go if you’d like. It crushes ice into a fluffy consistency that is ideal for frozen drinks and it can also be turned into fun shaved ice treats as well. Three strong blades make this easy to use.

You’ll never struggle with opening a sealed jar again with this clever jar opener. The V-shaped groove and strong teeth grip any lid to loosen it enough to get it open, with little effort on your part. Even better? This is meant to be placed underneath your cabinet so it’s out of sight but still exactly where you need it to be.
