Every night I entice my 3-year-old with all sorts of bells and whistles to brush her teeth for more than 3 seconds: fancy pink sparkly toothpaste, a colorful toothbrush, a five dollar bill (OK I’m kidding about that last bribe, but whatever works I say!)

Flipper toothbrush holders are not only adorable (we were sent two and my daughters couldn’t wait to open them), but they are functional. They are a handy way for your kids to store their toothbrushes hygienically and encourage dental care. They’re also great for tossing in little suitcases for those overnight visits with grandparents or let’s order pizza and watch movies until midnight sleepovers and they come in an assortment of fun designs featuring a virtual menagerie of animals, from adorable dogs to zoo animals to dinosaur eggs.

Features of the Flipper toothbrush holder:

• Opens and closes automatically
• Hygienic
• Suction cupped so it adheres to your bathroom mirror
• Patented design
• Award-winning mechanism
• Over 10 million sold

Feeling a little Flipper envy and wondering if it would be too weird to bring a pink hippo Flipper on your next business trip? The Flipper also comes in two understated floral designs that are appealing to adults. The Flipper family also includes handy razor holders.

The Flipper retails for $6.99 and would make a wonderful stocking stuffer this Christmas.
