• Guess What Contest: Bunny

  Animal-shaped home gadgets are all the rage now, from octopus juicers to elephant dust pans and seemingly everything in between, including this little bunny. It's cute, right? But what does it do, exactly? Well, give a correct guess in comments and I'll buy one for you, or if you prefer, anything else of equal or less value from the store where I discovered it. I'll update with pricing and a link when I receive a correct guess.  UPDATE: It's a pepper grinder! Congrats to Meg who got it right first.
