Review and Giveaway- Canlock, Cankey and Canpop

I'm doing another Giveaway after I review these fun gadgets, well, they're actually pretty useful tools to have in the kitchen, and you can keep the Canpop and Canlock in your purse or pocket or?

I told you about the great box I received from Brix Design just before Christmas in the other post.   You can read about it here.

In that goodie box were also these.

The Canlock, Canpop and Cankey

First up: The Canpop and Canlock.

I don't drink a lot of soda's in cans.  I've encountered too many 'involuntary guests' in my cans after they've been opened and partially consumed.
And quite frankly I dislike opening the cans as well.  I've gotten more snags and broken fingernails trying to pry those little tabs up.
I've broken off more than my share as well.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to open a can after the tab breaks off?
You've done it too, huh?  I tell you, that screwdriver I keep in the kitchen drawer comes in pretty handy sometimes.
But it doesn't have to do double duty anymore.
Nope...
I now have my very own Canpop, and it doesn't take up hardly any room in my drawer.  And the extra one that comes in the package, now keeps my corkscrew and bottle opener company in my little 'beverage purse'. Yup, there's two in each package. 

And the Canlock.    I can just use one of these on my open can and swivel it around to cover the opening and VOILA!!! no more visitors.

Finally I can relax and enjoy the whole can.   Which is a great thing.  Cause when I do drink soda from a can, I'll take a sip, then let it sit to get the chill off and by that time, sigh.

A bee or other critter has gone in to investigate that little opening with the great sugar smell and I get a mouthful of soda and something added. (I live in Florida and the Palmetto bugs are opportunistic little twerps) These little Canlocks are going to keep the Canpop company in my beverage purse. And there's an extra one I can keep in my regular purse cause you can also use them as an opener as well.

Last but not least, the Cankey.
This is great for leveraging the tab on a pop top can of Olives, Soup or whatever you have that you need some help with. 
Actually this ranks right up there with my list of favorite peeves.  Those cans with the little 'easy open' tabs, all you have to do is pull and the can is opened.  And if you do get it open, well, let me just say this, I've had to clean up my share of stuff that spills out over everything.  And it's never on something that you can just wipe off, nope, it's clothes or all over the freshly wiped counter or the floor or the front of the cabinet.
Yeah right.
I've pulled more tabs off of those cans and then was faced with a partially opened can or the tab just came right off.  grrrr
Not any more.  That Cankey is wonderful.  I had to open a couple of extra cans cause I couldn't believe just how easy it made it.

Anyone need beans or soup or olives?  I've got a few cans that are open...  How about some mushrooms?

Review and Giveaway: Tealok and Tea Tidy from Brix Designs

Just before Christmas I got a goodie box from Brix Design.

 Filled with all kinds of gadgets and tools for the kitchen. 
I'll be telling you all about my new toys over the next month or so, as I get them out and play with them.
They're from a company called Brix Design  and they make the best toys for the home kitchen.  Actually, they're more than toys, they're well designed, well thought out, useful gadgets anyone can use and enjoy.

I've told you about the Jarkey before.  I've bought and handed out lots of them to friends, cause I thought they were one of the better gadgets out there.   You can read about it here.

Let me get to the first review.  All the opinions are my own. 

I love to drink hot tea in the winter.  It just seems to go with the cooler weather.  And in my goodie box I found these, Tea Tidy's. 

A little handy dandy saucer with a spot to put the used tea bag.  I don't always make a pot of tea, a lot of time I just want one cup, right now, and I get impatient waiting for it to steep. I'll carry the cup up to my office, and then I have the tea bag to dispose of.
Not anymore.  All I have to do is put it in the little well in the saucer on the Tea Tidy and I'm good to go.  Plus... I have a saucer to put my cup on.  No more tea rings on my nice little desk.  (the box has two Tea Tidy's in it, you can have your lovely Oolong tea and your friend can have some green tea or whatever they like.
But wait, there's more.
I sometimes succumb to wanting a single cup of coffee in the afternoon, I don't want to make a whole pot of coffee for just one cup.   I use a 'coffee bag', make a cup and voila, I've got a cup of fresh coffee.  
And the little tea saucer works well for that too.  I just take out my used coffee bag, put it in the saucer and drink my fresh coffee.

In the goodie box were also some  Tealock's  and   Coffeelock's   The little Tea Spoon was perfect for scooping out just the right amount of loose tea from my Jasmine Tea can.  And the fastener was perfect to close the bag my Oolong tea came in.

And as I was looking at the fastener for the Tea, I found out that the spoon slides right off, and you can use it by itself.

  But I'm leaving it on the fastener for now.  This way I know where it is, it's holding the Oolong tea bag closed.

I haven't used the Coffeelock, but it works on the same principal that the TeaLock does. 

But wait...
There's more, I'm doing my first giveaway.   Brix Design was generous enough that they sent me extras' so it became a one for me and one for some lucky person.
One of my lucky readers - US only! - can enter to win these.  The Giveaway runs from January 12th till January 16th.  The colors may vary from the picture.
