The Grate Plate The Grate Plate is a hexagonal stoneware dish, about 4.5 inches across, with a nubby bottom that easily grates firm foods like ginger, nutmeg or parmesan cheese. Its hexagonal shape fits easily into the hand and is comfortable to hold while grating, so it offers dinner hosts the opportunity to grate a little cheese over a guest's plate for them with panache. The Grate Plate is made in China and ships from Portland, Oregon. It retails for $25 and is offered in 14 different colors. For more information, visit www.grateplate.com.

Bottoms Up Wine Bottle Holder from Sea Stones Sea Stones' playful Bottoms Up Wine Bottle Holder is designed with purpose and beauty in mind. Handcrafted from recycled granite, hand-formed helical aluminum rods and select New England beach stones, each holder securely embraces three bottles of wine. The whimsical twists hold each bottle inverted to keep corks moist and expanded, protecting and preserving the wine. The recycled granite base is handmade with two special processes that first give each base an organic, chiseled edge, then smooth and finish the rough granite. The rods are topped with a hand-collected New England beach stone for a dash of style.
