Cap Trappers

This giveaway is now closed with 134 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ lifeglutenfree!

Here's a cool product for all you moms out there....Cap Trappers! I love these things and so do my kids. I no longer have to spend a fortune on markers. I won't find marker caps throughout their rooms and I'll never have to pick up a dried out marker ever again! Hallelujah!

How did the creator come up with such a unique product? Well read a bit from their website:

"For years when I was a teacher, and now as a mom, lost marker caps and dried-up markers have always annoyed me. What am I to do when 2 little girls are begging for pink (the only acceptable color when you are a girl and under 6 years old), and the pink marker is dry?"

"Rummaging through giant marker boxes at school, or my children’s pencil boxes at home, I always found stray caps and dry markers. When I heard my Dad, a career executive and consultant, complaining about useless, dried up dry erase markers, the scope of this annoyance hit me. I had to do something. And so, the patent pending Cap Trapper™ was born."

I think all schools should have these and I'll definitely be bringing ours to show my son's teacher. The Cap Trapper comes in Original and Professional. They fit a variety of caps from skinny to fat. They're a great for organizing and keeping your pens in one place!

Let's get your markers organized! Savvy May Creations is offering TWO of my lucky readers 3 sets of Cap Trappers each!
