Designed for fun gallery (10 photos) Have you heard about the diamond ring that doubles as a mug handle? Or the rubber ducky that pours tea, and the monkey that prefers peeling potatoes and carrots to bananas? How about the casserole dish thats really a flying saucer? April Fools! Well, not quite. These quirky products and more are readily available to lend a lighthearted touch in every room of the house. Among the fun items to be found in the marketplace right now are a gorilla-faced ashtray, robot salt-and-pepper shakers, a skunk duster (smell not included), sleek penguin cocktail shaker and a knife holder in the shape of a man who looks like the unfortunate assistant to a shaky knife-thrower. We work with a lot of designers who have a lot of different styles; and a lot have a sense of humor, observed Jonathan Chiou, spokesman for online retailer CSN Stores (www.csnstores.com). If a house is contemporary or traditional, (a homeowner) can add one of these products for a special little touch. When Chiou and fellow CSN Stores spokesman Chuck Casto combed through their sites 3 million products, they were surprised to find hundreds of humorous products, many that also served a specific function. The two point out that these products are conversation starters as well. So, if youre entertaining and theres a lull in the conversation, simply pull out your Areaware Gorilla, which at first glance appears as little more than a funny monkey face, but can be employed as an ashtray or candy dish, to get people talking. Or, point out your appealing Jonathan Adler Banana Bud Vase, before pouring tea from the bathtime teapot, complete with grinning rubber ducky, that is sure to quack up your guests. Among other popular retailers that can help add some fun to your April Fools Day or any other day for that matter are: Pier 1 Imports (www.pier1.com), which has a store in New Springville; Brooklyn-based UncommonGoods (www.uncommongoods.com), and Kitchen Kapers (www.kitchenkapers.com), which has several New Jersey locations. (April 1st) is a great day for people to remember that they have a sense of humor, CSNs Casto said. These items and April Fools Day combine to remind them to stop and laugh.
