Not the sort of chic travel accessory after which I normally pine, but jolly handy nevertheless:

Behold, a pair of leather Reef beach sandals with built in bottle opener on the sole. As Cory at BoingBoing points out, "Great idea, provided you haven't been walking in dog crap or anything else you wouldn't want smeared on the lip of the bottle you're about to drink from." Quite.

If anyone packaged a paletable bottled Sour Apple Martini and there was a slightly less ugly more foo foo version, I'd be all ove these. Alas there is no women's version of these sandals. I suppose that means I'll just have to have a personal cabana boy trailing along behind me, catering to my every beach bound whim.
