It’s A Backpack With A Built-in Lunch Compartment!
This Bikrod backpack has room for a laptop up to 17.3”, and plenty of pockets for all your other school needs. But, it also features an insulated cooler lunch compartment. So you can keep your lunch cool, or warm, or just use the compartment to keep fruit fresh. There’s also a back anti-theft pocket that can fit a phone, credit cards or a wallet. (It’s anti-theft because when wearing the backpack, there’s no way for someone to open the pocket without you totally knowing about it!) There’s also a card pocket on the shoulder that strap can fit like coins or keys. And finally, a built in cable to let you keep your phone charger inside the case, but charge your phone outside the case without having to open anything. Under $40.

Danny New & I Chat About Some Of The Gadgets I Saw At The “Housewares For The Holidays” Show.
We Start With A Brand New Travel Coffee Kit from Aero Press.
It’s called the AeroPress Go Plus. The company says it’s a complete travel coffee system — you can unpack it, and brew your favorite coffee blend. What’s nice is that you brew into the provided mug, sip from it, and when finished, pack everything into the travel tumbler. Clever is that the mug comes with a magnetic leak-resistant lid and built in filter holder. After you’ve finish your coffee, rinse and repack the press back into the custom tumbler. Crystal-clear shatterproof Tritan press and 18/8 stainless steel tumbler make the AeroPress Go Plus tough enough to travel anywhere. It went on sale early June 2024. MSRP $79.95

The Most Unique Housewares Accessory I Found At The Show.
First, here are some amazing figures. Could you ever guess that there are 1.5 billion chopsticks tossed out each week! That’s 5.4 trillion chopsticks per year. Fortunately, Renew By Trinity is transforming this valuable, raw material and giving it a purposeful well-designed life. As you’ll see on this week’s show they make the carefully treated chopsticks into beautiful multipurpose cutting and serving pieces. There are even drink coasters, all made of 100% recycled chopsticks! Double sided and shinning with a food grade natural mineral oil finish they look amazing. Prices start at $40 for a 4 piece recycled chopsticks coaster set available with many different mini designs in the corners.

Dreamfarm Shows Off Their Flapple!
Flapple? What’s a Flapple? Well, it’s a Fold-Flat Apple Corer & Slicer with A Mini Cutting Board & Blade Safety Cover! The company says it’t space-saving and portable, thanks to the raised handles that fold-flat. The fold-flat handles lock the base to cover the blades for safe storage. The auto-aligning base is designed to complete cuts without a cutting board. Wide cutter divides all sizes of apples into 8 equal pieces and removes their core. It’s down with ultra-sharp, double-reinforced Japanese stainless steel blades. MSRP $14.99.

3 Capresso Coffee Makers. All available now: July 2024.
First a coffee maker that didn’t make air, but one that is now available.
I love my little 3-5 cup Capresso coffee maker. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it brews enough coffee for the day quickly. It’s been for sale for a while now, and because it’s still so popular, they introduced the same machine in white. Black is also still available. They are both available now, MSR. Check the Amazon link below.
Now onto two totally new machines, available July 2024. Both these machines feature Capresso’s bright touch-screens. There’s a 12 Cup version with a glass carafe. This new model features an iced coffee mode to brew coffee into the carafe you fill with ice. This model also features an auto-stop function, it can be set to brew 2-12 cups, and it has a generous 60 oz water tank. There’s cord storage in the case and an auto-clean function too. MSRP: $99.99. The second new model does not have the ‘iced coffee’ feature, but comes with a thermal carafe. The MSRP for that is $119.99.
The Capresso 5-Cup Mini Drip Coffee Maker in the video is available now. White or Black.
