Bedtime just got easier.
Putting kids to bed can be hard. (We’re happy for you if it’s not, but no one wants to hear you brag.) Who can blame them? For kids, the bed is a pretty boring place. Well, it used to be.
Snoozefests are beautiful duvet sets that turn your comforter and pillows into fun activities.
The Maze Duvet is one big (big!) maze, with 19 stops along the way from START to END. The Word Search Duvet has names of different animals hidden on it, and the animals are printed on the pillows.
We probably shouldn’t recommend you use pens on them because we can’t guarantee anything will wash out, but we do think red ink would look really cool on them.
Each set comes with a twin duvet and two pillow cases.
SNOOZEFESTS. Play on.
Get Props!
We all know about coasters that keep water off your table, but what about a coaster that helps things dry?
Introducing Props drying coasters!
Not everything goes in the dishwasher. We were tired of water getting trapped inside glasses, water bottles, and pots when we dry them. So we created these silicone coasters to prop (ahem) them up and let air circulate.
Props come in a set of four with a little rack to store them by the edge of your sink. After you use one, put it on the rack and let it drip dry.
PROPS. Live and let dry.
Rock Band and Apple Watch
It’s pretty amazing to learn that Imran Chaudhri used a Rock Band to test an early prototype of the Apple Watch.
This cuff is attractive.
Stowaway is a clean, minimalist, solid stainless steel cuff. Simple and understated, it looks great on everyone.
So, why is it called Stowaway?
When we present our products, people quickly catch on to a theme and ask, “What else does it do?” As usual, Stowaway has hidden functionality: This cuff is magnetic (another theme of ours). You can use it to hold any number of things: paperclips, screws, nails, pins, drill bits, etc. Use it as a tool when you need it; enjoy its good looks when you don’t.
Stowaway is available in two sizes. The smaller size fits wrists 7″ around and under. The larger size fits wrists 7″-8″.
Black (Nunchucks) Friday
| Our latest product is all black, so it just makes sense to announce it on Black Friday. It’s holiday travel season, and we have more than a few problems with travel bottles: 1) There’s not always a place to put them in the shower. 2) You have to shake and/or wait for the goo to get to the cap. 3) They get wet, and then they get the inside of your bag wet. 4) You forget which goo you put in which bottle. 5) There’s nothing cool about them. We should say we had these problems with travel bottles, because we dare say we solved them. Introducing Nunchucks! |
| Here’s why we love Nunchucks: 1) They hang anywhere, on any hook, around any shower handle. 2) The cap is always facing down, so the goo settles right where you want it to be. 3) They easily hang on the outside of your gym bag. 4) Nunchucks come with labels to mark your bottles: soap, shampoo, conditioner, or lotion. 5) Nunchucks are cool. |
Something Noteworthy
OK, not really, but we did re-invent them.
We often describe our popular Notepads as reusable sticky notes, so it made sense to expand the line beyond your phone and laptop. Our newest notepads are small, square and yellow!
Paris Puzzle Places Now Available!
That’s quite an alliteration. Check them out.
