The ZipBin® Story
Inspired by our problem, we thought creatively about how to solve it until... what if Max's toy bin unzipped to a play mat and zipped back up, capturing his toys? That would take the work out of having fun. It would be neat! And that's the name we chose for the company - Neat-Oh!® - that would introduce ZipBin® storage to the world
Brandon has so many small toys they are hard to contain in one area! He has his animals, his dinosaur collection, lots of cars and trucks and more! Its hard to find a place to store them all without having bins all over the house and plain old bins are just tacky! ZipBin has come up with not only a solution but a great solution at that.
ZipBins are just that. They are bins that zip up with great designs on them that when you unzip them you can use them as a playmat. I love the idea. There is one on its way to us for Brandon's dinosaurs but I didn't want to wait to share this with all of you!!
I love the idea of playmats but don't want to have it out all of the time and bins are good at keeping pieces away but can be boring so this ties it all in together! They have so many different ones to choose from. Bigger ones and smaller ones and ones for lego, hot wheels, animals, dinosaurs, dolls, fairys, unicorns and more! A great gift for under the tree!
ZipBin has offered up any one of the following ZipBins for one lucky winner
1) LEGO® CITY FIRE ZipBin® Toy Box & Playmat $24.99
2) LEGO Head ZipBin® Toy Box & Playmat $12.99
3) LEGO Racers ZipBin® Toolbox & Playmat $17.99
4) Hot Wheels™ IMPAVIDO 1® ZipBin® Racecase $19.99
5) ZipBin® Bring Along Doll House $19.99
A "neat" story! Could messiness be the mother of invention? ZipBin® storage originated when my inventive 10-year-old son, Max, and I put our heads together for some true "out-of-the-box" problem solving. Like many boys, Max loves plastic building blocks. And he likes to dump them on the floor-CRASHHH!! Of course, I loved to see Max play, but I groaned when I heard that loud mess of blocks spilling everywhere. Neither Max nor I liked cleaning up all those little pieces.

This isn't one of the listed ones to win, but it is one that caught my eye: Hot Wheels™ ZipBin® Medium Tool Box. My son loves cars, and he loves anything to do with building tools, so this would be so neat!
