Cookut Cooks With Syle

Do you have small kids who are just learning how to measure out ingredients and set the timer? My family loves to cook together, and Cookut makes it fun for all ages.

Cookut has extremely cute and useful products including bottle stoppers, egg timers, cutting boards, coffee cups, and so many more. These products are not only functional, but very useful and so cute, too. They have a series of fun and colorful animal designs including blue dragon, pink pig, red crab, gray elephant, and purple elk. These animal figures come in salt & pepper shakers, egg cups, bottle stoppers, and egg timers. My kids adore these kitchen implements from Cookut, and I’m sure your kids or grand kids will, too.

You might not have heard of Cookut yet, or seen their products at your local store, but they are based in France and have stores all across Europe. They are relatively unknown as of yet in the USA, however they do have a few select stores in the USA and Hong Kong.

Cookut believes in diversity in their designs, and utilizes 9 different designers for its products. Their brand is new, but they are already gaining respect and recognition in the design world, they were featured in the 2015 Maison & Objet trade show in Singapore last month. Cookut is an up and coming brand that you will be seeing a lot more of the in the future.

Do you like innovative products and new inventions? Well, Cookcut is definitely a brand that you should be looking into. Their newest product is a coffee mug with a silicone carrying handle. Is that smart or what?! You can pour your scalding hot coffee or boiling water for tea in the mug and pick it right up without worrying that it’s going to burn you. The cups are white in color, and they have many different color choices for the handle including blue, green, pink, and black. If you like the clean yet colorful design of the cups, they also have matching tea pots.

Another great thing about Cookut is they actually offers a two year warranty on almost every single product that they sell, including their knives! There are a very few exceptions that I was able to find, and these were the case that their knife set comes in, and the coating on the pans does not fall under the warranty if you happen to use a metal utensil and scratch it. This is definitely a very fair offer, and you may try Cookut products resting assured you’re covered.

Cookut products sound wonderfully whimsical, don’t they? Well, you have a chance to own your very own Cookout kitchen products from DealDash. You will see them arriving very shortly, I suggest that you load up your Bid Buddy for a chance to win some of these great kitchen items. Good luck everyone, and Happy Bidding.

Keter Products are Great for the Whole Family

Are you ready for a great summer? I know what can help make things even better, some fun outdoor things from Keter Plastic.

Do you have any products from Keter in your yard? Keter has a really amazing selection of different outdoor products, sheds, deck boxes, playhouses, outdoor furniture, water tables for the kids, and even fences! They also have some great indoor products for storage and the laundry room, like cabinets and storage bins of all sizes and shapes. No matter what you need, as long as it’s made of plastic Keter probably has a solution for you. I’ve seen for myself that their plastics are durable, safely designed for kids to use, hold up to the elements, are easy to put together, and are totally enjoyed by their owners.

Keter is short for Keter Plastic Ltd, plastic being what 95% of their products are made from. Keter has won plenty of awards in the past few years including the Red Dot Design award in 2010, 2011, and 2013. Keter also won the DIY Product of the Year award in 2010. Keter keeps up with the times, and makes new and interesting products that consumers love, as well as being moderately priced so everyone can afford to give them a try.

Keter is known all over the world, they have 29 plants in the USA, Israel, and Europe. They were started in 1948, and have continued to be a favorite all over the world, Keter products are available in over 90 countries. Even though Keter doesn’t have retail stores in all 90 countries, they own and operate their retail stores that are located in Israel.

Even though most Keter products require some assembly, the instructions are easy to follow and shouldn’t take you very long at all to put together so you can enjoy your new things. If you happen to lose the instructions, though, don’t worry! You can get instructions (including pictures) for every single Keter product on their website. That’s a relief for those of us who aren’t great at keeping up with instruction sheets from season to season.

DealDash offers a variety of some of Keter’s most popular products including various deck boxes, sheds, and rattan planter sets of three. You can set your Bid Buddy and get one of these great products for a fraction of the cost! If you don’t happen to win the auction, though, you can still be a winner by using BIN (Buy it Now). When you BIN you get the product that you wanted, all of your bids back, free shipping, and keep all of the bids that you won as being the highest bidder. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

This Article Will “Tide” You Over While You Wait for a Detergent Auction Start

A history of Tide Detergent.

Do you have a certain smell that you remember from childhood? Does the scent of cookies baking remind you of your Mother or Grandmother?

Well, one of my favorite “scent memories” is Tide laundry detergent. The fresh clean smell takes me back to being a small kid and helping my Mom in the laundry room, loading up the clothes, measuring and pouring the Tide into the little cup. It may sound a little silly that one sniff of that wonderful fresh laundry detergent scent can take me back to childhood, but it’s actually a scientific fact. It’s really very interesting, I will tell you a little bit about how it works.

First, the olfactory nerve, which carries the sensory information for the sense of smell, is located very close to the amygdala. The amygdala is the the area of the brain that is connected to the experience of emotion and emotional memory. In addition, the olfactory nerve is very close to the hippocampus, which is also associated with memory. So basically, every time you smell a new scent you are creating a new memory.

Even though Tide makes me remember fond childhood memories, they have really made leaps and bounds of progress since I was a child in the 80s. The Tide Detergent brand was introduced to consumers starting in 1946, coming as a white powdered bead. In 1984 they started making the Tide of my childhood memories, a clear liquid detergent with a slight orange tint. Today, however, most (but not all!) of the different types of Tide are a bluish-color.

In addition to the liquid Tide that is so popular, they have also introduced the wildly popular Tide Pods. Tide Pods are such an innovative way to do laundry, it really takes the guesswork out; You just pop one in and you’re ready to get those clothes clean!

Here are a few bullet points from the Tide website:

Detergent + stain remover + brightener in one
Innovative, multi-chamber design separates ingredients until they hit the wash for outstanding cleaning power
No more measuring or spilling. Just toss one in!
Dissolves quickly in front & top load machines
Available in three scents: Spring Meadow, Ocean Mist & Mystic Forest

If you think that you are ready to give Tide Pods a try, DealDash has them available almost daily. However, if you like your tried and true liquid detergent, you’re in luck! DealDash has that, also. No matter what your preference, liquid or Pods, DealDash has you covered! Go check it out, book your Bid Buddy, and secure a win on a great product.

That’s My Pet: Bird

“Mom, Dad, can I have a pet?” Is this a familiar question in your house? It certainly is in mine, and we are in good company. It’s estimated that over 60% of American households have at least one pet.

In this DealDash Blog series we will highlight different pets, give some basic facts about pet ownership, and hopefully help you make informed decisions about your new furry, feathered, or finned family member. Let’s get started!

Today’s pet is the bird. As a person who spent a few years working at a pet store, I can say that pet birds are extremely popular, especially the less expensive ones such as a parakeet. However, if you live near one of the bigger pet stores they tend to have a large variety of pet birds, from the inexpensive to extremely expensive, such as a large parrot like an African Grey.

In my experience working at the pet store and seeing all of the birds come and go, I would say that my favorite kind of bird that was a nice balance of price and personality was the Sun Conure.

The Sun Conure is an absolutely gorgeous bird with an awesome, playful personality that delights just about everyone that they come into contact with. They are intelligent, playful, and are significantly quieter if kept as single pets instead of a pair. Sun Conures make good pet birds for a family because of their sociable, upbeat and affectionate personality. However, if they are kept as a single, be prepared to spend a lot of time interacting with them, as they are prone to picking at their feathers when bored and lonely.

Sun Conures have an adventurous attitude and are quite active – no boring branch sitters here! They entertain themselves in many ways, such as by playing in their water bowls or during bath time, playing with toys on the floor, or riding around on your shoulder.

Of course, the first question that most people have when talking about pet birds is: Does it talk? And yes, Sun Conures can learn words and phrases. You will never have a heart to heart talk with this bird, but it can definitely learn enough language to amuse you and your friends.

There are many many wonderful birds that can make great pets, and they mostly need the same items to keep them healthy and happy. Here is a list of the must-haves:

Cage of an appropriate size to your bird
A variety of perches for him to sit on
Cage lining (even just newspaper can work well)
Food – a variety of food is best, including commercialized seed, fresh fruits and veggies, calcium, treats
Toys – a variety is best, including small bells/balls, ropes, mirrors
Cleaning supplies that are safe to use with your friend
Food and water dishes
And of course…The name of a vet who specializes (or at least accepts) birds

If you’re looking into getting a pet bird, DealDash has a few of the above items available, please click here to see the auctions.

I hope that this article has helped you understand a little bit about setting up a home for a new feathered friend. If you are in the market for a cage or feeder, pet store gift card, or any other pet-related items head on over to DealDash‘s “Other” section and see what they have up for bid today. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
