Something for the tea lover and gadgeteer in your life that won't break your holiday budget.

The Tea Stick from Chiasso for $20 is a stainless steel spring-loaded stick and sieve. You use the tiny shovel to scoop loose tea and load it in the stick. The stick is completely enclosed when dunking.

Now, that is really cool. I've, of course, used those tea balls, or the spoon with the flip cover... but, the chain always breaks off the ball and you have to fish it out...
and that spoon was just tiny and I lost it.

I'm putting this one on my Wishlist now, though. :-)
