Bottle Freakers are really cool beverage covers laced with spandex, like a
sock, so it fits on almost anything. They keep drinks cool (or warm), hands
dry, and bottles padded. Some people wear them as accessories for extra
cool points. They're a grassroots venture out of Wilmington, NC, made in
the USA, and they have been raising money through Kickstarter in order to
expand. They're short of their goal and time's running out, so they just
lowered their donation reward to only $1 or more for one Bottle Freaker!
Before this week, it was at least a $25 pledge for 4 of them. Normally
these things run about $8-$9, and though they're mostly a local thing, I've
also seen them in out-of-state Urban Outfitters.
It's a really fun concept and a surprisingly well-made and versatile product
that could use a lot more exposure. Kickstarter is powered by all-or-
nothing fundraising, so if they don't reach their goal in full by June 6,
they won't get any money, and you won't be charged anything. Of course you
can pledge more than the minimum, but as a thrifty idealist, this is a
perfect opportunity to get a $1 that supports a creative American-made
product in its early stages...

By the way, I'm not affiliated with Bottle Freakers in any way, I just love
the product and really want to see them reach their goal. I also happen to
think it's a very good deal, or else I wouldn't post it.
