Your herbs will grow quickly and they’ll thrive thanks to the advantages of this device. The included Grow Lamp even speeds up the growing process, meaning you’ll have fresh, home-grown herbs faster than ever. Space-age tech is here to make your food taste better.
RippleMaker by Ripples ($999 plus a $75 a month subscription)
Now that’s a heavy price tag. But, is it really that much when you consider this fancy device will help you create special, customized cocktails, beers, coffees, or even milkshakes? It even includes an app on your phone.
You can then upload a photo to the app, and the RippleMaker printer, with its small countertop footprint, according to the website, will “print” it in seconds on the surface of whatever drink you have waiting. It’s a really fun way to serve drinks for the holidays, especially if people aren’t expecting to see themselves staring back at them from their eggnog.
