When mythology takes a humorus turn…Mr.Prick reminds us of Bhishma pitamah (Bhishm-Aaah!) The ancient bed of nails is back! Just like transcendental fakirs would lie on sharp metal points hammered through wood, Mr. Prick -the toothpick holder makes your guests painfully amused. He is perfect for finger foods as well as jump-starting a good conversation.my lilliput armyFinally Mr.Big Head finds a good use of his oversized cranium endowed upon his shoulders by the almighty…to keep paper napkins in place! His heavy head ensures that your tissues are available and neatly stored for instant access – one napkin at a time. But for sure…he likes holding on to them!my lilliput armyWhy should boys have all the fun? Inspired from cheer-haran of Draupadi in Mahabharata…this product satisfies a womans deep desire to avenge man -kind! Mr. Strip Tease, a man who cleans your kitchen even while you strip him! Made in turn wood, it is an example of using traditional Indian craft to create utility objects of “kalyug” by adding an emotion to an otherwise inanimate product – a tissue-roll dispenser.my lilliput armyMr.Elevate comes to your rescue when you are cooking…as well as looking for an elevated area to place the utensil so as to keep the head from touching the ground. It helps keep the utensils clean and minimize mess while cooking by keeping the work end of the spoon away from any surface other than the pot or pan. Certainly a needed dose of fun and utility to your kitchen!my lilliput armyWhile most fridge magnets are a reminder in themselves…Mr. Mind It helps you hold reminders!
