Hot In The Hive: Bodum Bistro Toaster

Alex Gambardella on Sep 2, 2009 6:25 AM PDT

I don't know if they're just too busy browning our bagels to perfection to be concerned with looks, but it seems exceedingly rare to find aesthetically pleasing toasters. It's even more unlikely that I'd spot a toaster I felt I just had to have based on cuteness alone! Until now, toasters seem to have been strictly business -- pop in your toast, grab it when it pops back out, get on with your day -- but the Bodum Bistro 2-slice Toaster isn't only functional... it's pretty darn spiffy too! With eight fun colors to choose from and a modern heat-resistant rubber exterior, it doesn't just look pretty, either! The adjustable-width slots can fit all sorts of slices (no more cramming or jamming your huge slabs of bread) and the pull-out crumb tray makes for easy clean-up. I think I already have about 4 free toasters from various other appliance purchases, but this one is just so cute, it might be worth the splurge!

Price: $79.95

This year, let the toast do the talking. Nothing says "I love you" like making breakfast for that special someone, especially if the breakfast actually says "I love you." A great purchase for everyone from a gourmet to those of us who are still working our way up from cereal, this "I Love You" Bread Stamp from Baron Bob's is the perfect tool for a special breakfast, and guaranteed to a put a smile on every face. Best of all, it's as easy and fast as making toast: simply imprint the bread with the stamp before putting it in the toaster, and within minutes your words of love will be engraved forever...er, while they last.
