Anyone who had been to a shopping center or turned on a television in the last week has noticed the seasonal ads cropping-up. “Holiday shopping” begins earlier and earlier. Some consumers begin shopping as soon as stores start decorating with candy canes, other hold off until it gets deeper into the season. Either way, businesses use their most ruthless sales techniques in the winter and even if you aren’t shopping everyone starts building a little fantasy wish list in their heads.
The toys and gadgets that adults will be hoping for are pretty different than what kids want to find under the tree, but they are no less cool and often have even more bells and whistles. Whether they are more everyday appliances like stoves and microwaves or seasonal needs like fans and space heaters there are plenty of new appliances that will have adults jumping up and down too.
Original Babycakes Cupcake Maker

This adorable appliance can bake eight cupcakes in just five minutes. It has a non-stick coating so your confections should just slide out after baking but you can use paper cupcake cups too. Simply fill the cups with the batter of your choice and your creation will bake right up. Aside from the obvious sweet treats, this machine can also help you make muffins, tartlets, mini pies or many other creative creations. The system comes with a manual chocked-full of recipes and baking tips and cake decorating accessories. The Original Babycakes Cupcake Maker starts at $29.99.
Sharp Microwave Oven Drawer
This innovative appliance installs at drawer level just below the counter. The lower drawer makes it easy to lower something into the oven. Users can also stir hot objects without having to remove them from the oven. A view from the top gives you a better idea if your food item is done cooking or not. The drawer does feature a locking option so parents don’t have to worry about this very in-reach oven being abused while they are away.
The Sharp Microwave Oven Drawer goes for $1100.
The Babylone

If you didn’t know the Green Movement has made its place in interior design, then this piece proves it. This cutting edge lamp is also a planter. Depending on the plant you choose to put in it, the Babylone can quickly become a humidifier or air purifier. Greenworks produces this product and it is an obvious nod in their effort to bring the outdoors inside. The bottom of the planter is filled with pumice stone instead of soil. The stone has wonderful water retaining qualities so the plant doesn’t need watering often. This space-age fixture would make a forward-looking addition to any green or contemporary décor.
