Super FUN Giveaway in Time for Christmas!!

Most of you know how much I LOVE to cook.  I also enjoy quirky things that stimulate my brain.  A friend of mine at Marbles the Brain store approached me about two fun items that do both!  And today, YOU get the chance to win them just in time for Christmas.



First, we have the Obsessive Chef Cutting Board .  When you're frustrated because you can never get the angles quite right when chopping your vegetables, this board comes to the rescue.  Here's the description from the website:

There are those cooks who brazenly toss in a handful of diced onions, a dash of salt, a pinch of paprika without measuring a thing. All the power to them, you say. But you prefer an approach that’s more accurate, that’s more precise, that unapologetically crosses the line to downright obsessive. The Obsessive Chef Cutting Board is for you. Made of strong, long-lasting beech wood, this absurdly precise cutting board is marked with exact measurements to ensure you serve finely julienned zucchini, not just your garden-variety julienned kind. Makes the perfect gift for the fanatical foodie in your life.      

Brain Health Expert Says:

"Exercise parts of your brain important for fine motor coordination when you carefully slice veggies to exact measurements. "
 
Isn't this GREAT!?!  It would be perfect for the person in your life who loves to cook!
 
 
 
 
Next is a challenging hand-eye coordination game. It's called Oakey Dokey and I think this would be fun once you've obsessively chopped your vegetables.  You can play alone or with a friend. 
 
Website description:
 
Looking for just the right kind of toy to keep your hands busy and mind stimulated? Want a diversion that doesn’t promote early-onset carpal tunnel syndrome from excessive joystick, mouse, or smart phone action? Enter Oakey Dokey, a game of hand-eye coordination and madcap skill that will occupy minds and hands of all ages, genders, and abilities. Just drop the two included, naturally grippy corks on any flat surface and get them to land end up to score points. The first player to score 21 points (exactly!) wins the game – but be careful not to go bust or your opponent will have a chance to catch up and steal sweet victory from your grasp!
 
 
I know you'd love to have these for yourself, or to give to a friend.
