Kikkerland Design Inc. is a place where creativity runs rampant and even the most utilitarian gadget becomes a delightful discovery. 


Since 1992, the folks at Kikkerland Design have traveled the world in search of original designs for things that can make life more enjoyable. Clever things to intrigue you. Smart things that make everyday tasks easier. And gentle things that make you feel happier when you use them.

It’s no wonder that Kikkerland Design continues to offer the world’s largest collection of ingenious items combining form, function, and delight in equal parts. You can find them in thousands of stores around the world, including museum and specialty shops. Or you can just stay home. Because if it’s inventive, witty, and smartly designed, Kikkerland Design will bring it to you. Just for the fun of it.


There is so much stuff at Kikkerland, you could be there all day looking and wanting everything! With everything from home and organization and clocks, to the critter collection and solar powered items, there really is something for everyone!


For my review I received 2 large and 2 medium Bobino Cord Wraps. 

My husband is a guy who like to fiddle with things. He loves working on engines and (like most guys) he also loved electronics. He HAS to have a million things hooked up in every room, including surround sound in the living room. 


With all the electronics and gadgets everywhere, wire can become a real problem! Nobody likes a huge rats nest of wires shoved in a corner, or behind the tv! With the cord wraps, that is taken care of! 


The medium cord wrap is for cell phone chargers and USB wires. I used them in my kitchen for my house phone and my charging dock for my blackberry. It looks so much better now!

The large cord wrap is for laptops and thin extension cords. I used them in my bedroom for my husbands lamp and alarm clock. Those wires always bothered me, and now they are nice and neat!

The cord wraps are super easy to use! You just feed it through the notch and then wind it up! Done! Easy organization that makes a HUGE difference! Doesn't get much better than that!

ToweLocs Review

Tweet

Share

I bet the majority of you mothers out there have the same problem I do. Your child brushes their teeth, or washes their hands, pulls the towel down to dry off, then leaves the towel on the counter/floor. Later you go and find it, only to find that it's still wet. Most of the time, you need to wash it after that. Oh joy! More laundry! Do you sence the sarcasm?

That's why when I recieved a ToweLocs in the mail, I was thrilled! I opened up the package, and found a pretty blue ToweLocs, along with instructions on how to use it. My first though was, 'this will match perfectly in the boys' bathroom, and I need to get it in there NOW!'. So, that's what I did. It was very simple to put on, and looked great with the colors of their bathroom.

Since then, I don't have to go in there, at least 3 times a day, to make sure the towel is hung and drying. That's a blessing to me. One less thing to think about. Plus, it's held on there good enough that they wont be able to pull the ToweLocs off. Score again!

TOWELOCS STORY

ToweLocs® was created by Cindy Sawyer, a mom who was repeatedly frustrated every time her hand towels fell off the towel bar and when her kitchen towels did the same upon opening her oven door. This was also compounded when her two young children, Keelan and Skylar, could not help themselves and leave their hand towels on the bathroom floor after each use. As you may imagine, this was an everyday event in any typical household.

So she wanted to find a way to not only secure her towels in their rightful place but to also do it with some style. This sparked the invention of ToweLocs® . After numerous prototypes and designs, she decided on a final product that exists today. She was inspired to market her invention when she received multiple compliments on what has now become a practical household product and how it accentuated her bath and kitchen towels.

Not only is ToweLocs® functional it is also decorative.
We hope you enjoy ToweLocs® !

If you have problems keeping your towels where they are supposed to go, I strongly suggest you get a ToweLocs! It will make your life a little bit easier! They range from $13.99-$19.99. Go BUY one!

MagnaPods Review & Giveaway

*CLOSED*
Are you like me? One of those women who organize all your stuff in the bathroom, then a week later, it's back to the way it was! You start digging through the drawers looking for you mascara, only to discover that you had put it back in your makeup bag. I just wanted something where I could put all my makeup in one place, easy to find, easy to see. Then I was introduced to MagnaPods!

These are so nice! They are clear magnetic containers that stick to the inside of your medicine cabinet. Store your mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, tweezers, or whatever else you use, here! The dividers are also removable, to fit your needs. I'm sure I wont lose my mascara anymore!

I also got the opportunity to try the magnetic tooth brush holder. This is great a well. I have 2 little boys who love to brush their teeth. They will sneak in the bathroom and try to brush their teeth all by themselves. Needless to say, toothpaste ends up everywhere, except their mouths! With the magnetic toothbrush holder, I can get their tooth brushes off of the counter, and into the medicine cabinet where they can't reach them! That's a great product to me! :)

Being that these have magnetic backs, you don't JUST have to use them in the bathroom. Most people keep grocery lists on the fridge to keep track of things they will be needing. Ok, so where's the pen? Stick a MagnaPod next to the list, add a few pens, and you're set! I used one of mine on my computer desk! They have flat bottoms, so will sit on any flat surface. Put one on your filing cabinet to hold paperclips. There are endless ways to use these! How will you use yours?

~But It~

Go to MagnaPods website and get one for yourself today! They are so useful, and inexpensive! You will get your money's worth as soon as you put something in it!

~Win It~

Oh, you know you want one of these! John over at MagnaPods is giving one of my readers a chance to win their very own MagnaPod pack. The winner will receive 3 MagnaPods organizers, and the tooth brush holder!
