KapIt -- a game where you flip a bottle and hope it lands on its cap!

Bottle flipping has become a big deal these days. Kids love to flip bottles and post their play online. After watching their kids spend enjoyable hours flipping bottles and having fun, three dads get together and figured “let's market a bottle-flipping game". They did and they came up with KapIt. The game "board" is non-slip, thickish, and most likely water-proof mat. The instructions are simple. Fill the bottles (you get two in the set) with water to the bottom of the line on the sticker. The flip the bottle and try to land it on its kap. Different places on the game board are worth various points; scoring 21 wins. The inventors told me the bottles are sturdier than normal bottles with a slightly bigger cap. MSRP of KapIt is $19.99.

Putting the LectroFan Micro White Noise Machine To The Test!

The LectroFan Micro adds a lot of features if you're looking for white noise machine. This one is actually great for travel! It has a built in battery and Bluetooth! Charge the battery and the Micro can provide 10 UNIQUE SLEEP SOUNDS: 5 fan sounds, 4 white noises, and one ocean - for up to 16 hours. (It doesn't say which ocean, but I guess they all sound pretty much the same.) Pair it up with your Bluetooth device and you can stream your music through it for up to 8 hours. And your music will sound a heck of a lot better than your smart phone speaker, and probably better than your laptop speaker too. Listen to videos and movies playing on your computer through this device, even though this one is tiny. But wait there's more! Give a little twist and the built in speaker stands up so it can face the direction you want. For travel, twist it down and the Micro lives up to it's name, it's small. The price is good too. It's just about $35.00 on Amazon as of 4/26/17.  http://amzn.to/2mTpBgC

Colorful Lids That You Can Use Over & Over.

I think these Silicone lids are great! Charles Viancin Lids are a beautiful and practical alternative to plastic wrap. Unlike plastic wrap this silicone lid can be reused over and over. The lid seals tight on all smooth rims, meaning any bowl can be used for food storage. The lids create an airtight, watertight seal for reheating and storing. It can also be used while serving food, to keep your dishes hot or cold for longer. Each lid is oven, microwave, dishwasher, and heat safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. I've used these lids on various glasses and bowls in my kitchen and I've found the instant seal is so good I can drop it on a bowl or glass then lift them just by the lid. It seals that well. Charles Viancin lids have been around for a while, but I the ones I'm showing are the newest shapes and colors being introduced for Spring 2017. Available in many sizes starting at about $8 or $9 and up.

There are many Charles Viancin lids here on Amazon: http://amzn.to/2n2LsRw  (But I don't see the new tomato and watermelon designs online as of 3/21/17)

A very clever luggage system from Biaggi.

This company makes so many different bags, I'll just talk about one that is out now. (Watch the video to see a demo of the newest one, due out in May, 2017.) Biaggi says you can pack smarter and fit everything you need for an extended trip in their inventive and spacious ZipSak 31-inch MicroFold Upright. A patent pending Z-fold design allows this sturdy duffle to magically transform from a small pouch into a spacious 31-inch high rolling duffle with plenty of room for all your travel essentials. (Check the photo on the left. That little bag near the bottom opens to the full sized bag behind it!) A convenient top zipper can be used for loading like a tote bag, a durable wrap-around zipper allows you to pack items flat and secure them with a strap, similar to a conventional suitcase. And once you reach your destination, the ZipSack quickly and easily compresses back into the small pouch that can be hidden away. The folded duffle takes up to 80% less room than comparable bags, and weighs only 5.7 pounds! The ZipSak duffle is constructed of a tough crinkle oxford nylon fabric in a selection of trendy hues and features four durable pro-velocity spinner wheels for easy maneuverability. Prices range from about $59.99 to $99.99.
