“It's actually quite brilliant in its simplicity. All you do is put your cell phones or gaming devices inside (laptops and iPads don’t fit into the medium-sized one that I’ve tried), set the timer, close the lid and you are locked out until the timer reaches zero. There’s no breaking-in or cheating, which actually makes it so much easier to avoid the temptation of “just checking that one last email.”

#MafiaApproved: Kitchen Safe
“Can't keep your kids hands out of the cookie jar? No need to worry now. The Kitchen Safe on Kickstarter is a simple and effective product that locks food, toys, and other items you want but should not have.

“Afraid of your kids (or you) sneaking cookies after dark when the midnight munchies strike? Set the time so it's sealed while everyone should be sleeping.

Or are you just worried you'll ruin your dinner by snacking after work in the afternoon? Then set the time to wait until after dinner! …I, for one, would really love to see this invention come to fruition.”
