We all have days when we'd love to have mom whip us up an icy glass of chocolate milk, even if we're too "mature" to admit it. But just because Mom isn't nearby (thank God!), that doesn't mean you can't soothe yourself anyway. Enter the Moo Mixer, a comforting creation from the grown children at the Idea Kitchen.

The cleverly designed Moo Mixer features a snazzy Holstein-patterned cradle equipped with a mixer and a fun little trigger on its handle. Pour in some milk and chocolate mix, press the trigger, and the perfect glass of chocolate milk is whipped up as quick as you can say, "Mom, is it ready yet?" The included glass is dishwasher safe, and it comes with a spill-proof top to prevent the easily delighted among us from swooning and dumping our little treat all over ourselves. (If you really want to make a mess, you could always consider combining your chocolate milk with something a bit harder.)

At $13.95, the Moo Mixer is an inexpensive way to help those you care about get in touch with their inner-child. And who knows? It might even help them cut down on their therapy regimens. A beefed-up model for making shakes sells for $32.95. — Tony Kontzer
