This is the holiday season to chill out. And one of the best ways to do it is to make opening all those difficult to open plastic packages that contain toys, tools and other gifts.

The promoters are calling the new "Open It" tool "the ultimate Wrap Rage Cure." The product was created by a group known as "Designing Women" with the Zibra Company. Open It contains a cutting tool, dual-head screwdriver and retractable cutting blade. Use it to get what's inside clamshells, toy packaging, boxes, CDs, DVDs and battery compartments.

Suggested retail is $10.99. It's available at Walgreens and The Home Depot. For more information, see www.wrapragecure.com.

Make this one a present to yourself this year. -- C.V. S
