**CLOSED**Giveaway: Zevro Solutions for Modern Living

My husband and I used to play a game. It's not a fun game and it was going on for years. I call it The Canister Game. You see, in the morning my husband loves his coffee. He brews a full pot and has a few cups before he leaves for work while I gently slumber. He takes the rest of the pot in his thermos for work. Every morning I wake up to find my canister of sugar on the kitchen counter. Now, I have zero counter space in my tiny kitchen so even something as small as a canister takes up precious room. Plus it just irks me to no end. To top it off, he must get bonus points in this game by dipping his wet coffee spoon back into my canister of sugar. When I'd go to bake something, I'd find these little sugar-coffee nuggets in my canister of sugar. Grrrr.

Game over..I found a solution. While browsing through the Lillian Vernon catalog, I came across one clever gadget. It's the Indispensable Sugar n' More Dispenser by Zevro.



The Indispensable Sugar n' More Dispenser can be used for sugar or other powder cooking products. It comes with three measurement inserts: 1/4 teaspoon, 1/2 teaspoon, or 1 teaspoon. Insert the desired measurement, fill the dispenser with product, and squeeze the handle and you get a perfect measurement each time you squeeze. The dispenser keeps out moisture and air and it's simple to refill. In addition, there's a dial on the top of the dispenser that you can turn from "closed" to "pour" or "sprinkle" making it easy to use for baking or sprinkling powdered sugar. I love the sleek design and it's small enough to sit on your counter but large enough so that you won't have to refill it daily.

Zevro is based in Illinois and the company designs uncommon products to solve common problems. I was impressed by the clever, attractive and just plain cool gadgets Zevro has to offer all very reasonably priced. Kitchen organization doesn't have to be plain and boring with Zevro. The products are designed to solve kitchen dilemmas right out in the open; you're not going to want to hide Zevro's products in a cupboard or drawer. They're going to do their job and look great while doing it.
