From a Tailgate Frustration to a Holiday Gift Idea: Family-Owned Wondustries, LLC Introduces KLIX
Born from a tailgate struggle to hold a drink and eat at the same time, KLIX is a clever, hands-free solution from an entrepreneurial husband-and-wife team.
AVON, IN | September 28, 2026 What happens when you're at a tailgate, holding a drink, trying to eat, and running out of hands? If you're Ryan Wolfinbarger, you come up with an idea.
That moment of everyday frustration sparked KLIX, an innovative magnetic drink holder developed by Ryan and Annie Wolfinbarger, founders of family-owned consumer product company Wondustries. Now, as the holiday shopping season approaches, the couple is bringing their practical invention to shoppers looking for gifts that are as useful as they are original.
KLIX, The Magnetic Connect + Carry Drink Holder, is designed to keep beverages within reach while freeing up your hands. Its unique two-piece system combines a rotating clip with a detachable magnetic drink holder.
The KLIX clip attaches to a belt, waistband, backpack, or crossbody bag, keeping a drink conveniently by your side. Need a place to set your drink? Simply detach the magnetic holder and stick it to a compatible metal surface, such as a grill, golf cart, or workout equipment.
Whether you're tailgating, grilling, working out, camping, or tackling a project around the house, KLIX offers a convenient place for your drink without requiring an extra hand.
KLIX also pairs with Wondustries' Kooleyo universal can cooler, which stretches to accommodate a wide variety of beverages, from slim cans and standard cans to tallboys and large iced coffees.
A Family Business Built on Big Ideas
For Ryan and Annie, KLIX represents more than a clever product. It's another step in their journey as entrepreneurs building a family-owned business around original ideas and practical solutions.
Like many small businesses, Wondustries is built on creativity, determination, and the willingness to take an idea from the drawing board to the marketplace. With KLIX, the couple hopes to bring a little convenience to everyday life while growing a business they've built together.
"We've all had those moments when we wish we had an extra hand," says Annie Wolfinbarger, VP of Marketing at Wondustries. "For Ryan, that moment happened at a tailgate. What started as a simple frustration turned into a product we could share with others. It's exciting to see an idea that began with our family become something that can make life a little easier for someone else."
Two Products, More Ways to Enjoy Your Drink
While KLIX and Kooleyo work together, each product also stands on its own.
KLIX is the ideal solution for people who want to keep their drinks close and their hands free. At a suggested retail price of $25, it's a practical and unexpected holiday gift for dads, grill masters, outdoor enthusiasts, fitness lovers, DIYers, and anyone who appreciates a little extra convenience.
For those who simply want a better can cooler, Kooleyo is available separately for $15. Its premium, stretchable design accommodates a wide range of beverage sizes, eliminating the need to keep a collection of inexpensive coolers for different cans and bottles. From slim cans to tallboys and large iced coffees, Kooleyo offers one versatile solution for a variety of drinks.
Together or individually, KLIX and Kooleyo offer practical gift options for people who appreciate clever products that make everyday life easier.
KLIX and Kooleyo are available on Amazon and at www.klixgear.com.
