Mail Order Ice Cubes

Filed under: Water

I don't know what kind of person would mail order their ice cubes, but there must be a market because the product is out there. ICE ROCKS light mineral water ice cubes, from France, are individually sealed trays filled with water drawn from the Vendée Region of France in the Massif Central and ready to be frozen in your freezer. Hermetically packaged, disposable, and recyclable, they're more of a convenient gadget than a realistic need. But as long as you've got to bother freezing something why not just take your favorite bottled water and make your own cubes? And although they bill them as something high end they're pretty cheap to buy, considering. Get 48 cubes for only $5.24.

Cool Jewels Ice Cube Tray

Filed under: Gadgets

I know these are a little cheesy, and totally border on downright tacky, but I just couldn't resist! I think with the right approach these jewel-shaped ice cubes could be really beautiful and fun, and add that little extra something a summer gathering might be missing. Who wouldn't want bowls of glittering jewels sitting around like ice sculpture at a party? You can even add food coloring and have jewel tones to match your decor or beverages. The plastic ice cube tray measures 4 1/4" x 7 5/8" x 1" and makes 6 gemstone shaped ice cubes at a time. $5.95.

Gus* Stainless Steel Cube

Filed under: Decor

The Gus* Stainless Steel Cube is an occasional table, meant to be used as a functional piece of furniture in a modern/minimalist space. It's size and simplicity certainly make it appropriate for such a use. But fans of modern art (or cubism) might be more interested in this as a stand-alone showpiece, instead of hiding it under a lamp or some coffee table books. It measures 18-cubic inches and is made of brushed steel with polished edges. Price: $605.

Nespresso Cube

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets

I'm a sucker for cubes in design (especially the late lamented Apple Cube) so I love the look of the Nespresso Le Cube. The Nepresso system is the ultimate pop and go system, toss in a capsule and you are good to go. It has a 19 bar pressure pump and automatic brewing quantities so you can program the size of your drink according to cup size, automatic capsule ejection, removable water reservoir and dual cup trays. The basic white model sells for $299.
