Back-to-School Giveaway #2: Cap Trappers

August 16, 2008

This giveaway is now closed. Thank you for your participation.
The winner is Michele @ Creative Writings 101!
Congratulations!

Girlie Girl has decided to become an artist when she grows up. That would probably explain the tons of markers we have in every color imaginable. The only problem with this is that we constantly lose the caps and the markers end up drying out. Of course, we can’t buy just one particular color to replace the one that’s gone so we usually end up eventually buying a new set. *sigh*

Well, Savvy May Creations has the solution to my problem - Cap Trappers.

From the site: “Cap Trappers™ are perfect for just about anyone. The versatile material allows it to fit any cap size from skinny to fat. Use a Cap Trapper™ to organize all your pens and markers, you’ll probably never buy crayons again!”

Win it!

Savvy May Creations has generously donated two sets of Cap Trappers in a choice of colors to one lucky winner! To enter:

  • Stop by Savvy May Creations before midnight, August 23rd.
  • Then come back and mention in comments one reason Cool Moms Use Cap Trappers. That’s it!
  • A random winner will be selected and notified on August 24th.
  • The winner will then have 3 days to claim their prize.

To earn more entries, you may do one or all of the following. Each one counts as an extra ticket. Please leave a separate comment for each extra entry.

This giveaway is open to US and Canadian addresses. Good luck!

Clean up is so much faster and easier. Your two-year-old can actually get the markers back in their caps

I am so tired of dried up markers - this looks great!

Just an FYI - you have an award on my blog today.

Hi there,

I have never entered in a sweepstake so thought I would give it a try and see what happens.

Thanks

We’d use them because we’re tired of finding markers with our toes late at night and noticing the next morning our feet are green. :)

That’s a fantastic idea leaving me wondering why I never invented it!

I’m also subscribed to your feed, but I rarely comment! :)

Cool Moms use Cap Trappers because… Your one-year-old can’t stuff caps in her mouth when you aren’t looking. Great giveaway, thanks!

What a ingenious product! I love that Cap Trappers™ save you money in marker replacement costs. You know a mom must have thought up this product. :)

Even my teen son still looses caps for markers, he just isn’t very organized. He loves to draw still and this would be great for him to make his markers last longer and help him be a little more organized. I know I would get a “cool Mom” thanks from him for these.

SANDY said:

they are cool because they save money on not having to buy replacements, time by not looking for the straggling markers..they are cool becasue they have more time to be with family and may have a cleaner house because the lids are on the markers

Cool moms use them because they save MONEY and save TOES (after stepping on stray caps!). It would be the very last time I’d go to use a marker only to find it has dried out because someone forgot to put the cap on or lost the cap! YAY!!

Thanks so much!

Cool Moms use Cap Trappers so they dont plug up the vacuul with caps! Just kidding. Cool Mom’s use Cap Trappers to keep marker sets useful for longer than one day! Helps teach responsibility for kids to put the markers on the Cap Trapper!

Cool moms use cap trappers because they will fit a variety of sizes, which is extremely useful in my household as my daughter has markers from several different brands-and I am constantly trying to find the matching cap with the matching brand. NOT an easy thing to do in a boxful of markers. Great concept, and very useful item!

“Your one-year-old can’t stuff caps in her mouth when you aren’t looking ” (Except it’s a him). Everything goes into his mouth, you can’t give him a chance to get at anything that shouldn’t be in there - cause trust me, that’s where it’s going as soon as you turn your back for a second! Thank you for the opportunity to win!

I think this would help solve the mystery of the missing color. Thanks for the chance.

This is an amazing idea. I just bought 2 new packs of markers yesterday because her favorite color blue keeps getting dried out. We lose caps daily around here.

Cool mom’s definitely need to use cap trappers. I especially liked this one:

Your one-year-old can’t stuff caps in her mouth when you aren’t looking.

That just makes me laugh, it’s so true.

It’s so much easier for a little one to get their markers plugged in this way, marker caps are tricky for little fingers! So . . . a smart mom saves money with these!
