Spring Fling! The Puzzle Pod Review and Giveaway!!! {CLOSED}

Pin It

Spring is finally in the air and we have some great things to share with you to kick off this wonderful season! From backyard bar-b-ques and outdoor fun to Easter and Mother's Day gifts and Spring Cleaning, we've got you covered. Make sure to stop by daily to see the wonderful products we have to share with you. Of course there are a whole bunch of giveaways you can win too!


Who hasn't spent time working on a puzzle only to get to the end and realize that you are missing a piece or pieces?  I know I have and my kids get so frustrated.  The "family moment" is over and forgotten after that.  Ever step on a game piece (without shoes)?  How about stepping on a crayon and breaking it?  Well look no further than The Puzzle Pod.  Don't be fooled, it is so much more than a puzzle storage system.  You can do SO much more with this product.
"Simple, transparent and affordable, The Puzzle Pod adheres to the back of the puzzle, the game board or the toy packaging.  Now when kids travel in the car or on a plane, they can whip out The Puzzle Pod and neatly play with dozens of puzzle pieces, word tiles, dice or game cards.  When play is over everything goes back in the Pod - - which easily closes tight thanks to cleverly placed Velcro tabs."

"The secret to The Puzzle Pod is the aggressive adhesive backing.  Unpeel The Puzzle Pod backing and stick to a hard surface - a cardboard box, a thick puzzle board, a coloring book.  The Puzzle Pod passed the test in various preschools and play groups over a series of weeks.  Kids and grownups alike loved the concept."
I think this is one of the most clever things I have seen in a long time.  I wish I had these when my kids played with the beginner puzzles.  However, I put it to use right away and have thought of so many other uses for this storage system.  I adhered one to a notebook and filled it with colored pencils, pens and markers.  My daughter loves to write and color on the bus ride home and this allows her to pull ONE thing out of her backpack instead of several things.  She said she loved it and now all of her writing tools and paper are in one place and easy to get to.  I used the other one on my husband's coaching clipboard.  He is always looking for a pen and I filled the pod with pens and pencils as well as some highlighters.  He tried it out during practice - and was so impressed.  He thought this was great.  Having it adhered to the back of the clipboard allowed the writing surface to remain clear.

Other thoughts for uses (if I had more of them....hint).  On the inside of my back door.  I would keep a weekly schedule in the front with any documents filed behind it (book order due Monday, permission slip needed Tuesday, drop bills in mailbox Wednesday, etc.).  Inside my cupboard for items that I am always accessing but hate them out on my counter.....clutter contained and accessible!  Scrapbooking tools, projects in process, scrap paper, etc.  You could use it to keep coupons, weekend fliers, etc.  Keep one in your car for maps (for those of us that don't have a navigation system), important documents, phone numbers, etc. Oh, so many uses.  I recommend you order a pack of The Puzzle Pods and see what other uses you can come up with. They are so amazing.

But It!  You can purchase The Puzzle Pod (set of 4) for $14.95.
