Colgate 360 Advanced Battery Whitening Toothbrush

 

Finding the perfect gift for your loved ones during the holidays is never easy and filling up their stockings with things they’ll actually use is tricky. Colgate is helping to take the guess work out of your holiday shopping this season with their new 360 Advanced Battery Whitening Toothbrush.

.

This new toothbrush is lightweight and slim in design making it easier and more enjoyable to get a brighter smile. With 5X more plaque removal than a manual brush and a 2-minute timer, you’ll not only be gifting a better smile this holiday season, but also a better clean.

The Colgate 360 Advanced Whitening Battery Powered Toothbrush works amazingly great. It gets all the particles in between my teeth and leaves them shiny and smooth. I like that it is tough on plaque but at the same time it is gentle on my gums and teeth which sometimes can be super sensitive. The two minute timer is great to ensure proper brushing time for not only my kids but for me as well!  I like the fact that this particular toothbrush is lightweight and not bulky like most I have seen on the market. I would highly recommend this toothbrush to anyone young and old alike as it does to wonders in removing plaque and keeping my teeth and gums healthy!

About Indie Goodz:

Our Story
In the economy today too much income and wealth is going to far too few of us. But 70% of the economy is made up of our consumer spending. That means the economy is just a reflection of the way we spend our money! Oh no we’re our own problem! Well… there’s some truth to that..
Sooo.. if we want to change the economy we have to change the way we spend. Support independent brands because they support an economy that benefits all of us.
That said, we know the big box stores and Amazon are just so convenient. But we thought hey if technology put a robot on mars we can bring convenience and huge selection to local & indie! And so we did.
Change the way you spend and it will change the world around you. It’s really that simple.

About Melitta:

For more than 100 years, Melitta has dedicated itself to bringing European indulgence to life with its premium coffees, filters & coffee makers.

The history of coffee would not be complete – or coffee as good – without the contributions of German housewife, Melitta Bentz. She revolutionized the coffee industry back in 1908 by inventing the pour-over method of coffee making, literally changing the world of coffee drinking…one cup at a time. Her innovation – a two-part filter system – was simple, though revolutionary. With the goal of making coffee taste better, she transformed coffee consumption, and hers is still one of the most popular brewing methods. Today, the brand is the world’s largest supplier of coffee filters.
