I presume the Huggies Chef mainly makes barbecue aprons.
There were new chip clips in Christmas stockings this year, and we gave our nephew a multi-pan glass lid with a wide silicon gasket.
And now, so do I!
We’ve been using Grip Sticks for years since buying some at a Home Show maybe 18 years ago. Fine product.
I got 36 “chip clips” (clothespins) for $1 at Dollar Tree years ago. They work great for keeping chip bags closed!
I use binder clips for that
I stopped by a friend’s house for a drink, and he lives in a mansion. I had no idea how huge it was (after he gave me a tour, he said “Well, there’s another wing, but let’s skip that…”)
His kitchen has a massive fireplace, a hidden fridge (press on the right Louis XIV wall panel to open it), all sorts of upscale gadgets…
…and half-empty crisp bags on the counter, held closed with cheap binder clips.
I’ve been using one for years! I love it.
A few months ago I bought a back scratcher for $7. I love this thing! I use it at least once a day.
We got one of these Ninja Foodi 8-in-1 toaster oven/air fryer devices a few years ago, and I was beyond skeptical when we got it. I figured it would be an adequate toaster oven, and everything else would be poor.
That’s not the case at all- it’s a good toaster oven, good air fryer, good toaster, and has settings for other stuff like Air Crisp (?), Air Broil, Keep Warm, Bagel, and Air Roast that we have rarely, if ever used.
And it flips up vertically when you’re not using it, so it takes up a lot less counter space than when in use.
Congratulations, you’re now officially old! 
(I must get a back scratcher myself, It’s been a long time since I could reach every part of my back with my bare hands…)
Ditto. I thought it was a waste of money until I had to start using it. Now it has become an essential part of my kitchen.
We got new floors (luxury vinyl plank) back in the spring, and got a Shark AI Robot vacuum to keep them clean. It’s fantastic- it’ll map out the house, I can divide it up into individual rooms and areas, and then specify where it should clean on demand. I can also schedule it to clean everywhere on a schedule.
Only thing it doesn’t do well is avoid little things like left out legos or army men or stuff like that.
Thanks for this! I got one for taking the dog out after dark, as he loves to poop in dark places. Juggling the leash (while keeping an eye out for coyotes), a flashlight, and a poop bag is a real pain. This will make things a lot easier.
I recently got a Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra vacuum. Top of the line and not cheap. But it does actually avoid toys and other small items via its camera. So far, I’ve only had to disentangle something from the roller once–a thin string that it didn’t spot. In general, it does a much better job than my previous Roomba and Neato units. Also empties/cleans itself.
A buddy of mine bought a battery pack that saved him a few times already. It can jump start your car, charge your phone, has a very bright light, and is very solid/heavy.
He liked it so much that he bought a few more (how ever many he needed to buy to get a price break) and gave them to his friends. I love mine.
The NOCO BOOST HD.
ETA: one funny thing about this item. The user guide is as thick as an old time telephone book. But the English part is just 4 pages, followed by every language known to man.
My mother bought something like that for my brother and me a few years ago for Christmas, though the one she bought is only useful for jump-starting the car. It was helpful a couple of years ago when my car battery was dying.
And rather than messing around with the air compressors at gas stations to inflate my car tires, I bought this gizmo from Amazon a couple of years ago. It’s powered by the cigarette lighter. It’s basically idiot-proof, in that I just screw the end of the hose to the tire valve, set the display to the desired PSI and turn it on. It runs (noisily) for a while until the tire is inflated to the proper pressure.
It’s a Shark for gosh sake! Enable the option for “eat the children who leave out legos & army men” then soon enough you’ll have a very clean house. Quieter too. And a lot more extra money to boot. Easy Peasy.
Another problem solved with a modest proposal.
Cooking burgers and stuff in a microwave.
The thing works great.
If it would just consume the legos and army men, I’d be fine with that. They leave them out, they get eaten. Problem solved.
Instead, it’ll suck one up, stop and send me a notification, and I’ll have to go find it and fish out the lego before it’ll continue.
