Davey Crackit Nutcracker

Normal nutcrackers are so boring. If you're inclined to crack a lot of nuts, do it with some whimsy with the Davey Crackit Nutcracker ($23). At nine inches tall, Davey is made from cast aluminum which will blend nicely with most stainless kitchen goods. Simply lift his tail to crack the nut in his hands, but be warned — there's no guarantee your dog won't go a little crazy about the new forest friend in your cooking area.
