ZipBins

At Christmastime, many of our children are bombarded with toys.  Even if they are good, quality toys, they still take up space and have to be stored.  Why not give your children something in which to store all of the new toys?  Even better, why not give them toy storage that is also a toy?

ZipBins from Neat-Oh are exactly that!  These storage bins unzip to flatten out and become playmats for use with the toys they hold.  (You can see what I mean in the photo at left.)

We received the Small Town Toybox & Playmat from the “Classic” collection.  The best of both worlds, this provides a place for storing small toys cars and provides a “road” mat that is, itself, easy to store (because it folds up to become the box!).  Perfect for gift-giving, it even comes packaged with two die-cast metal cars.

The classic collection also includes a Road & Rail bin, a farm, a fairy castle, and a dinosaur bin.

In addition to the classic collection, there are bins centered around popular toys like Hot Wheels, Barbie, and LEGO, as well as backpacks and other bin styles.  These include some smaller options, if you need to be able to fit them into a smaller space (or need them to be more portable).

We will actually be using this as a container for a “gift basket,” and giving other gifts inside it, so that’s another option to consider.  (It is certainly sufficient to be a standalone gift!)
