BendItBrush from Fusionbrands
Fusionbrands‘ shape-changing cleaning tool, the BendItBrush™ is a new hybrid cleaning tool that’s an original departure from the traditional sponge and long handled brush. BendItBrush is both a sponge and a brush all-in-one. The user can bend it to wash two surfaces at once, and it easily removes lipstick and balm off glass rims. It straightens like a rigid-handled brush to clean to the bottom of a glass.
BendItBrush has soft silicone scrubbers that suds-up like a sponge and an embedded Flex-force™ band to offer rigidity when straightened. It is bacteria and odor resistant, non-porous and long lasting. The flexibility of the BendItBrush makes it easier to clean all tall and short glasses, cups and bottles literally from top to bottom, inside and outside. BendItBrush can even be used to clean knives, utensils and plates.

Simply Spiked Food, Floral Art Forms Launches
Simply Spiked launched of Simply Spiked Food & Floral Art Forms at The International Home and Housewares show in March in Chicago, Illinois. Simply Spiked offers an easy, fun, food or floral centerpiece solution to those inspired to create unique party and event décor.
To inspire people of all ages and skill levels, Simply Spiked offers the opportunity to easily design food and floral creations. Simply Spiked panels and forms provide a foundation for the creator to place foods or flowers onto its spiked surface with ease. These inter-locking reusable panels are made of food- and dishwasher-safe durable plastics and come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and forms such as pyramids, cubes, spheres and more. Simply Spiked Forms allow the user to place and design floral and food items, such as fruits, vegetables, candies, doughnut holes, macaroons, etc., on 3D structures to make party sculptures.
After years of creating food and floral sculptures for weddings, baby showers, birthdays, etc., using foam, toothpicks, glue and other common craft supplies, Simply Spiked founder and creator Carina Wood decided there had to be an easier and less time-consuming way to make these non-reusable centerpieces. After searching YouTube, Pinterest, and the internet for a solution, Carina discovered that millions of people were using the same, old-fashioned technique and that a better option did not exist. This was her aha moment and Simply Spiked was born.
Simply Spiked is headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is the manufacturer and distributor of Simply Spiked Food & Floral Art Forms.
