knife sharpener
30. January 2008
This is what I love about Kiosk. Everytime I go there to peruse whatever great finds they have brought back from faraway countries, I find something that I remember I needed.
Like this French knife sharpener. I might like it more because it is French or because “Affur’cap” means very sexy. It doesn’t mater. ($19)

kiosk gift grab bags
11. December 2007
Kiosk is my favorite site for random things. They switch from country to country, grabbing those little things that you would find in a supermarket there but would never find at home. Like Kindereggs (they don’t actually have them). But man, why is it no one in the US has Kindereggs?
Anyway, Kiosk has a bunch of grab bags for this holiday season and they’re not the lame kind. They’ll even suggest a bag if you describe your giftees personality to them!

site I like: kiosk
05. October 2007
Kiosk eternally amazes me. It’s a random site, which is maybe why I like it, since AT&A is pretty random as well. Basically, for a set period of months you can find random good from different countries there. It ranges from household goods, to food, to paper crafts and on and on. Right now, it’s on Finland. However, you can get goods from before, like Japan is still on there as is Germany, Mexico and Sweden, and ongoing items.
Each item is described with exquisite care and you can tell the people at Kiosk took time to find this stuff.
Check out the description for the marking pen above ($2):
Mark till your hearts content, stays on porcelain, mirror, metal, etc. Comes in handy when you least expect it. For instance, if you need to label your bicycle or write your husband a daily reminder message on the bathroom mirror, “Put your laundry in the basket” or on the refrigerator door (as long as it is not white) “Please close the door and do your dishes”, etc etc. Made by a firm established in 1907, we visited their factory in the countryside; it was a small place their home was adjacent to. The mother and co-owner of the business showed us around, the top floor was packing and warehousing; the bottom floor was where the goods were made. It was a pretty exciting operation, totally down to earth and very basic, not at all what one imagines when you have their product in your hand. I was thinking assembly line, teams of people, industrial environment, etc etc.
