One of our in-house Organics picked these Matryoshka Measuring Cups out and it caught my Classic eye as well.  But, I knew I’d never buy them because I already have measuring cups and really does it matter if I have attractive measuring cups if they’re stored away in a drawer? But, then those are the ramblings of an overly pragmatic Classic and not an Organic who might just get a little more pleasure cooking with these.

Matryoshka Measuring Cups “Doll up your kitchen with these witty and accurate measuring cups. Inspired by traditional Russian matryoshka (wooden nesting dolls), made from heavy-duty, long-life engineering plastics, they’re practical, charming, and easy to store, one tucked inside the other. Set includes 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup.” More practical Organic Structures can donate their old measuring cups to Goodwill.

Next up we have something that seems more “dad” oriented than cute measuring cups, the Inflatable Movie Screen. “This 120″-diagonal Airblown Inflatable Movie Screen is perfect for family movie nights and block parties, because everyone can see it all on this big screen out in your backyard! The giant outdoor movie screen can be set up and inflated in minutes, ready to show movies, TV shows, cartoons, sports events, or video presentations.” At $250, it seems more of a combo birthday and father’s day present wrapped into one. Then again that’s just the cheap Classic in me talking. Also, you need a projector for this to work. $250 and you don’t even get a projector. There’s always a catch. Oh wait, I’m probably not supposed to have my negative Classic chatter peeing allover an Organic Freedom’s pick. 

Finally, we have Electric Luminaries. On the surface this looks like a pretty poor pick for June but we’d beg to differ. The clear bulbs would look quite cool in your backyard for a summer party.”Set of 10 Electric Luminaries offers festive lighting options. You get 10 clear bulbs, 5 red bulbs and 5 green bulbs, to mix or match as you wish. The 10-1/2″H plastic lanterns fold flat for storage. Connect up to 4 sets. Ground stakes included” You can just save the red and green bulbs for December.
