3) Clear Ice Cube Maker

4) Japanese Welcome Fish Soap
Japanese soap shaped like a supersized fish makes for a meaningful (and eye-catching) gift. The red snapper symbolizes good fortune and luck in Japanese culture and this sweet-smelling one is made with a traditional wooden mold by one of Japan’s oldest soap makers. Give one as a unique token of thanks or good luck, or hang one up in your own shower.
5) Standing Skewer Cooking System
O-Yaki’s set of nine metal skewers lets you make everything from kebabs to shrimp and even a whole chicken. The set fits right in the oven on top of a cookie sheet (and inside a grill so long as the dome is more than 8.5 inches tall). Unlike the traditional ones you have to turn, these skewers stay vertical and cook evenly on all sides.
