Happy Birthday Bubble Wrap!

Who doesn't love the satisfying pop-pop-pop of a sheet of bubble wrap?
Fun, Stress-Relieving Bubble Wrap Games

Who doesn't love the satisfying pop-pop-pop of a sheet of bubble wrap? Today is the 50th birthday of the packing material turned amazing stress-reliever, which actually started (believe it or not) as a type of wallpaper! Popping a sheet of the stuff takes me back to my childhood, when sometimes the packaging was far more exciting than the actual gift inside. My sister and I used to fight over sheets of the stuff, but luckily it now comes many different digital forms, making it not only better for the environment but easier to endlessly pop away. Today, celebrate bubble wrap's birthday with one of these fun games for Android, BlackBerry, iPhone, or your computer.

Bubble Wrap Calendar Has My Fingers Itching to Pop

Everyone knows I'm a big fan of bubble wrap (little Katie Sugar loves it too!).

Everyone knows I'm a big fan of bubble wrap (little Katie Sugar loves it too!). Whenever a package comes in, I pray for the bubbles instead of those lame peanuts that I can't do anything with (besides toss them up in the air and create my own personal snow globe).

The Bubble Wrap Key Chain has quelled my need for popping somewhat, but I need more! More bubble wrap, I say!

Enter the Bubble Wrap Calendar, which allows me to pop a new bubble every day of the week! The calendar even comes complete with holidays and important dates printed right on the bubbles. And bonus, it's handmade in Brooklyn! My only concern? What will keep me from popping all the bubbles today?!

Did Your Pet Appreciate Bubble Wrap?

With yesterday serving as National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, I wanna know if your kitty was on board with the raucous celebration.

With yesterday serving as National Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, I wanna know if your kitty was on board with the raucous celebration. While some people suggest wrapping the bubbly stuff on furniture legs and sofa corners to deter scratching, others use this product as a fun toy! Do you have a pet that looooves the popping sound or one that becomes a scaredy cat with that clamor?

Happy Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day!

My love affair with bubble wrap began as a small child when my parents bought something wrapped in that noisy stuff.

My love affair with bubble wrap began as a small child when my parents bought something wrapped in that noisy stuff. I remember sitting on the carpet meticulously popping bubble after bubble. So, when I learned that today is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day, I felt compelled to share this love with you . . . and my dog. I had some of the packing material stored for my next breakable shipment so I brought it over to North before I left for work. In his defense, he was still in his bed, but I tried popping it near him. His eyes peeked open for a second but he appeared neither startled nor interested. I tried jumping on it. No dice. Although his eventual look clearly said "go away," some pets (like Jack the kitten) love to hop and pop up and down on this DIY toy.

Electronic Bubble Wrap Keychain

One of the best things about being a gadget freak is a constant stream of packages filled with bubble wrap.

One of the best things about being a gadget freak is a constant stream of packages filled with bubble wrap. Sure it isn't earth-friendly, but no I don't know anyone who can walk by it without a pop or two.

Enter the gadget you never knew you never needed - but still totally want. The PuchiPuchi is a small keychain gadget that lets you experience the joy of popping bubble wrap over and over again. Apparently, the Japanese device features eight buttons that each make a popping sound when you press them. Even better, there are bonus popping sounds like "door chime" and "sexy voice" every 100 pops.
