From coffee and tea to water and juice, we are always hydrating. Proper hydration is part of a healthy lifestyle. The choices that we make not only in what we drink, but what we drink in, can have some seri- ous consequences. As we have become more of a disposable society, we need to think about the footprint that we are leav- ing. It makes sense to have more reusable options, but those reusable options need to be something that we use and not sim- ply collect. We all have that one cup- board full of water bottles that are not used. Creating clutter is not the ideal answer. What is needed is a solution that is used and reused. With that in mind, Precidio Design has developed a patent-pending complete drinking system that allows you to enjoy fruit infused drinking, power shakes, sports drinks, filtered drinks and all forms of hot and cold beverages. You lit- erally get six bottles in one system. Welcome to a new way of consuming all your favorite drinks in one easy to carry solution. Welcome to Multi Flask. How does it work? The idea is that as you go through your day, Multi Flask modifies to keep up with you. If you want to start your day with a hot cup of tea or coffee, then use Multi Flask with the glass inner and hot beverage lid. One of the most exciting features of Multi Flask is that for the first time, there is a viable way of using glass on the go. Multi Flask's inner glass design that is protected by a silicone shock absorbing base and then encased in an indestruc- tible Tritan outer shell ensures that you can enjoy the benefits of glass safely. When you need a refreshing option, utilize the Tritan outer shell, which has a large mouth opening that is ideal for adding ice or fruit wedges. Multi Flask is also there when you are exercising. The sports lid has a soft silicone spout so you won't hurt your mouth or teeth during vigorous training. If you are looking for a bit of a kick, attach the agitator and mix up your sports or power drinks. Attach the fruit infuser, and your water has added flavor. When you find time to relax, Multi Flask has an added tea strainer that is perfect for tea leaves. It gives you that extra bit of functionality to complement your day. All of Multi Flask's components are made from the highest quality materials, and all are dishwasher safe. Best of all, Multi Flask allows you to minimize the amount of waste produced through disposable cups and bottles. It's convenient, smart for the planet and pretty nice looking, too.

NIFTY SOLVES PROBLEMS WITH INNOVATIVE BAKEWARE LINE Nifty Home Products has always been ahead of the game when it comes to unique and innovative ideas. With their current bake- ware line, Nifty has proven, once again, that the sky is the limit when it comes to creating unique, problem solving products. Their Expandable Cooling rack, three-tier Oven Companion and Expandable Roasting Racks are just a few of the many items that prove everyday problems can be solved with a little ingenuity and out of the box thinking. Problem: Not enough space to cool your baked goods. Multiple cooling racks are messily stored away. Nifty's Solution: The Expandable Cooling Rack expands from one cooling rack to three and contracts back for easy storage. The chrome plated grids are designed for the smallest cookies and candies. Testimonial: "Really great idea – you have one cooling rack when you need it, or two or three, and you don't have to worry about losing any of them or storing three separate racks. Already used it to bake two loaves of bread for Thanksgiving!" Problem: Only one oven in the home to cook a turkey, two sides and a pie for a Thanksgiving feast. Nifty's Solution: The 3-tier Oven Companion doubles your ovens capacity. The three-tiered rack allows for you to cook three separate side dishes or pies alongside your roasting pan. No more need for a second oven in the home with the Nifty 3-tier Oven Companion. Testimonials: "A second oven!" "Having this rack was like having a second oven – a won- derful product for times when you are preparing a big meal. It holds so many dishes, and made my Christmas meal preparation a breeze." "Finally enough oven space." "This makes use of the whole oven when you are using a high roasting pan by allowing three other items to be in the oven at the same time." Problem: Multiple sizes of roasting pans and different sizes and types of meat. Nifty's Solution: The Expandable Roasting Rack is the one rack that does it all. The rack expands from 10 to 13 inches to fit just about any size roasting pan. It is designed to hold anything from a smaller roast to a 30-pound turkey. Testimonials: "Works great." "Bought this rack to replace the original one that came with my roaster that disap- peared during a company potluck. I did- n't think it would be big enough or strong enough to hold a large heavy turkey, but it worked wonderfully well. It lifted my 21-pound stuffed turkey without any problems. I am very happy with its per- formance. In fact, I think I like it better than the original; it's small and not as bulky, easier to clean and works just as good if not better."

FIT & FRESH GATHERINGS LINE KEEPS FOOD HOT OR COLD FOR UP TO FOUR HOURS Medport LLC, makers of the Fit & Fresh ® brand, are introducing their new Gatherings line of on-the-go carriers/servers at the International Housewares Show. The Fit & Fresh Gatherings line of bakeware, platter and side dish carrier/servers use patented technology to keep food hot or cold for up to four hours, making it easy for con- sumers to bring a prepared dish to a pot luck, party, tailgate or other event. Airgel3™ insulation technology provides amazing hot/cold temperature perform- ance within a sleek exterior that can go directly from the car to the serving table. "We've done a lot of research with consumers and uncovered real frustra- tions with bringing food to group events," said Larry Wesson, President of Medport. "They shared stories of dishes spilling in the car, difficulty keeping their food hot or cold prior to serving, and especially with outdoor events, dealing with the elements once the food is out and on the table. Consumers were invent- ing their own solutions from cardboard on the car seat to wrapping dishes in a towel to keep it warm. None of these were very convenient or elegant solutions." Generously sized for group events, Fit & Fresh Gatherings consists of three serving pieces, with more coming in the fall. They include the following unique features: spill-proof, locking covers and non-skid bases get your food to the event looking great; see-through, hinged Tritan™ serving lids maintain freshness and even include a writable surface to label foods; removable liners and insulat- ed bases are dishwasher safe for easy clean up; 9 by 13 Go Bakeware piece comes with a borosilicate baking dish that can be taken from the oven, then placed directly in the super-insulated carrier; the Go Platter and Go Side Dish have BPA-free ABS liners and come with reusable cold packs that fit snugly in the base for extended performance. "The real beauty is that you can serve right from the carriers," said Wesson. "Unlike a lot of other solutions, these products provide temperature retention while sitting on the table. And the ability to close the lid between serv- ings is a huge factor for keeping food fresh and looking good." "People take pride in the food they bring to an event," added Wesson. "They want it to taste good and look good because it's a reflection on them. The Go Carriers really work in this regard as well." Visit Fit & Fresh at booth S2170.
