I got a handy new gadget on Christmas. One of the first gifts handed my way was labeled, “To: Well-Prepared Mommy.” It was clearly in response to the “Not so fast, Santa” piece I wrote. It turned out to be quite useful. It was called “Open it!” and claimed to be five tools in one.
“Let’s see if this one actually works,” I mumbled reluctantly. Well, guess what? It did. We used it to cut through some hard plastic ties, used its retractable blade to slice open quite a few boxes,cut through a clam shell and even pulled the screwdriver out for assistance. The downside is that the screwdriver is only one size (Phillips) so you may still need to have more nearby.
I’m not big on product pitches, but if something works, I like to spread the word. The site listed on the package for more information about the product and other similar products is www.enjoyzibra.com, if you’re interested.
My Open It! will get more use later this week on birthday presents as my girly turns two! More on that tomorrow. (By the way, thanks to the Well-Prepared Daddy for the swell gift.)
