Gl�ce Luxury Ice Cubes

The market for high end mail order ice cubes isn't a big one, but that isn't stopping Gläce Luxury Ice Co. from aiming to be the best. Their ice cubes are large, sphere-shaped, and hand-carved in Canada of purified water. Created to be free of minerals and other contaminates that can taint the flavor of your beverages, the spheres are also designed not to break apart like cheap or homemade ice cubes sometimes do (they'll spider and crackle attractively instead).

Shipped in dry ice, Gläce Luxury Ice cubes cost $8 each, or 5/$40 and 240/$1,440.

Mail Order Ice Cubes

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

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.

Piet Hein Drink Cooler

It's a stone, it's an egg, it's... actually a sort of metal ice cube designed to chill your drinks without the diluting effect that ice has. The Piet Hein Drink Cooler is made of seamless stainless steel and has a liquid core, which hardens when the egg is frozen and allows the cooler to actually cool your drink. They are no larger than ordinary ice cubes, so the only potential downside is that you might have to pay a bit more attention to what you're doing when you toss ice into glasses. Price: $31 each.
