Roundup: Top 5 Tempting Trivets

Yes yes, trivets- those tiny, oh-so-important products that help protect our tables and countertops from burning and ugly heat rings, the things you always thought were so absurd until the day you realized they are any furniture lover's best friend. Trivets- some are practical, some are stylish, all are essential during this season of entertainment...

Teak Trivet: $24 - so sleek and modern
Hotman Trivet: $20 - so very entertaining
Knik Foldable Trivet: $12 - so perfect for a storage-free kitchen
Pescher Extendable Trivet: $88 - so sinuous and curvy
Robot Puzzle Trivet: $60 - so very fun

My favorite is this Alessi trivet that looks like a strand of jacks. You toss on the table (just like a handful of jacks) when you use it and hang it like jewelry from a pot rack when you don't.

What about the one that looks like a strand of pearls? I saw it a couple times a year or so ago, and now I don't know what it is called or where to find it. Anyone out there know?
