Sandal Flask: Love It or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 01:18:51 -0700

A couple of years ago I was at a crowded party in desperate need of a bottle opener. I laughed when some guy offered to open my beer with his flip flop sandal. However, much to my amazement, he could! His sandal was equipped with a standard bottle opener embedded in the sole.

Recently Reef - the creators of the bottle opener flip flop -released the flask flip flop. Nestled in the sole of this marvel is a fun, little flask. I think these sandals are a wonderful gift for a whiskey-drinking, flip-flop wearer. What do you think of them?

Wondering what to get in-the-know winos for the holidays? Don't give them wine - it'll be too difficult to pick something out for them - but instead give them a wine tool or accessory.

DinoBite Bottle Opener: Love It Or Hate It?

partysugar — Sat, 13 Oct 2007 01:11:19 -0700

I'm not really into reptiles. I never understood why my best girlfriend in college had a huge lizard as a pet. However, when I saw this dinobite bottle opener, any disgust I formerly held for the creepy crawly creatures completely disintegrated. I love this open mouthed dinosaur shaped bottle opener. The solid bronze beast would look great resting on a sleek bar. Am I the only one who thinks it's quite cute, or do you love it too?

Don't Lose Your Bottle Opener: Nail It

partysugar — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 12:31:18 -0700

I've spent many a wasted minute running around my parties in search of the bottle opener. It always gets lost, carried from one room to another, or absent mindedly pocketed by a guest. To ensure that you don't have to ask two thirds of your guests, have you seen the bottle opener?, hang it near the beer. With a hammer, nail a small nail at eye level above the beer cooler in an easy to spot place. Hang one or two bottle openers for guests to use to open their beer as they drink them.
