A decorative holder for foodstuff trays, tins, and pans is provided. The decorative holder includes a receptacle having a partially corrugated bottom wall, a pair of opposing side walls, and a pair of opposing end walls. The side walls and the end walls extend upwardly from an outer periphery of the corrugated bottom wall and terminate in a top edge. The decorative holder further includes a lid that is hingably coupled to the top edge of the receptacle and configured to pivot between an opened position and a closed position, the lid defining a central opening providing access to an interior region of the decorative holder when disposed atop the receptacle. The receptacle and the lid are configured to hold and generally encapsulate a foodstuff tray, tin, or pan therebetween.

A serving pitcher with an integrated cup holder. The present invention includes a pitcher having an interior volume that can hold multiple servings of beverages therein. The pitcher includes a concave cutout formed in a sidewall thereof, wherein the cutout extends from a lower side of the pitcher to an opposing upper side of the pitcher. A platform extending from the cutout at the lower side of the pitcher, wherein the platform includes a recess that can receive a cup therein. The platform is disposed within the concave cutout such that cups can be disposed on the platform in a vertically stacked configuration and supported in an upright configuration by the concave cutout.

A portable drinking water filter system, such as a pitcher, having a sleeve and a floatable body including a filter opening configured to receive a water filter, the floatable body having a seal extending outward from an outer surface of the floatable body. The floatable body is disposed in a sleeve cavity such that a body seal engages the sidewall and restricts water from passing between the floatable body and the sidewall. The seal is configured to create friction with the sidewall, wherein the friction created when the floatable body rises in the sleeve is different than when the floatable body lowers in the sleeve. The friction created when the floatable body rises in the sleeve is greater than when the floatable body lowers in the sleeve, allowing the floatable body to auto-retract toward a cavity base without burping.

A container with an interchangeable crystal display may include a container body sized to accommodate a volume of a liquid, the container body having an upper end and a lower end; a cap designed to removably engage with the upper end of the container body; a container base designed to removably engage with the lower end of the container body; and an interchangeable crystal display removably secured to a surface of the container base such that the interchangeable crystal display extends upwards from the container base into an interior of the container body when the container base is engaged with the lower end of the container body.

A beverage server having a cap and a server body. The server body includes an open top container having a handle, a chamber, a pour spout, and a cap receiving portion defining a top opening. The cap is rotatably positionable within the top opening between an on-off configuration, a closed configuration, and a pour configuration. The cap has an outer facing portion and a lip, and the cap receiving portion has an inner facing portion adjacent to a top rim. Surfaces on the cap that would otherwise engage the rim and surfaces of the cap receiving portion, are cutaway to create recesses in such surfaces, which together with the top rim and surfaces of the cap receiving portion define an air vent which allows air to pass into the chamber when beverage is dispensed from the chamber via the spout when the cap is in the pour configuration.

A liquid container having improved convenience while considering sanitation is described. The liquid container includes a first temperature sensor to measure a temperature around the inside of the liquid container while not contacting a liquid inside a container body, a second temperature sensor which measures a temperature of an environment provided with the liquid container while not contacting the liquid inside the liquid container body, and a calculation processing unit to estimate a liquid temperature inside the liquid container on the basis of the temperature around the inside of the liquid container measured by the first temperature sensor and the temperature of the environment measured by the second temperature sensor.
