LoveIt! Thursdays Product Review: Perfect Curve Sports Rack & Giveaway!

If your family is anything like mine, you let the kids pick out something for Daddy on Father’s Day. With Father’s Day just around the corner (Sunday, June 21), I thought I would feature a great gift idea for Dad on today’s LoveIT! Thursday. This review is on the Perfect Curve Sports Rack.

"With the Perfect Curve Sport’s Rack, you can remove clutter from the kid’s bedrooms, your living floor, and from your life! Athletic gear is commonly misplaced or creates a mess when items are needlessly left lying on the floor. Perfect Curve, the leader in affordable organizational products, has created a great way to store and organize all your athletic gear over-the-door and out of the way with the Sports Rack."

I needed something just like this because I have soccer balls, baseballs, bats, and bike helmets all. over. the.place. In about fifteen minutes, I now have it all in one place, hanging on the garage door. Perfecto!! The rack comes with two sacks and I put all the commonly used kiddie items on the bottom one. No more looking all over the place for helmets or knee pads. Thank you!

Want one? Well, we are also giving it away to one lucky winner, just in time for Father's Day.

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment and become a follower. If you tweet about it and come back to tell us, that's one extra entry. Winner will be picked at random this Monday, June 15th.

Good luck!!


The Sports Rack is currently available at www.homedepot.com and www.perfectcurve.com. It has a suggested retail price of $15.00.
