I love multi-functional items. Now that the world’s a lot more cluttered than it you used to be, what’s not to love about items that makes life a lot easier and less complicated?

Here’s Cool Tool’s idea of functional and practical: the Scoop Clip. It’s a measuring spoon with a scoop on both ends of the handle; one tablespoon and one teaspoon. But that’s common, you say. Err, yes. This bit isn’t: it doubles as a clip so you can keep your opened packages tightly shut. This works great with coffee, mainly because coffee loses its flavor when exposed to the air.

It keeps coffee fresh and you’ll never have to go hunting for a measuring spoon again. Of course you can use it on other stuff, too, like flour or sugar. I just prefer coffee.
