SipSnaps Have Got You Covered

By Emmi Kern

Whoever came up with the phrase “Don’t cry over spilled milk” likely never ate out at a restaurant with kids. Not only will the little one be upset over his lost drink, but there’s also plenty to make a mom cry too. A spilled glass of milk (or juice, or water) can spread quickly across the table, soaking napkins, dripping onto laps, and possibly damaging any electronics unlucky enough to be in the way.

This scenario can easily play out at home too. While very young children usually use sippy cups, older kids using full-size cups are known to have clumsy moments, so you can never be too careful. SipSnaps are flexible, colorful drink lids that stretch to fit over just about any cup or glass. These convenient lids help prevent splashing and spilling, and allow a kid to turn a variety of cups and glasses into take-along drink containers.

BPA, Phthalate, and latex-free, SipSnaps are safe to put in the dishwasher, and safe to boil for sterilization. They come in packs of three and have straw holes that fit any straw. Kids will love Sip Snaps because they allow them more freedom, plus they’re colorful and fun to use. Parents will love them because they save them the stress and cleanup of messy spills.

SipSnaps are one of a large family of innovative products discovered by the Massachusetts-based launch site The Grommet. The Grommet helps discover and promote businesses that bring unique ideas to the table. Established in 2008 at the height of one of our country’s worst recessions, The Grommet rose above the dismal economy and helped give small businesses some much needed exposure. Initially, their company was known as “The Daily Grommet” because they introduced a new product every day.

Seven years later and The Grommet, while undergoing some transformations since its inception, is still going strong and sticking to its founding vision. Founder Jules Pieri and her business partner Joanne Domeniconi search far and wide for products that make life easier and more fun, from time-cutting kitchen gadgets to cute, original gifts for adults and kids. They seek out products that have a story behind them, because they know that every successful business is built on the hard work and inspiration of real, everyday people. The website is always posting new additions, including great items for kids.
