Things to help you sleep fall asleep and stay comfortable
All Cotton, breathable, soothing weighted blanket. Ever since I started using this blanket, I've noticed that I get a deeper sleep, don't move around as much, and wake up refreshed. I didn't think it would make much of a difference, but it does. The knit weave allows heat to escape so I don't overhea...
Cooling Handmade Chunky Knit Weighted Blanket
The medium size is soft enough to sleep on my back or stomach, but supportive enough when I sleep in my side. The grid gel allows air to circulate along with the ventilated latex core. Love it
Purple Harmony™ Pillow
You don't have to be a woman or mother to appreciate the support this body pillow gives you when you sleep. Long enough to be cradled between your legs while being hugged in your arms, this super soft pillow provides excellent support and never loses...
The Original Maternity Pillow
Love the softness of the pillow cover and the adjustable support that this pillow gives. You can add more stuffing which is included, or remove the amount you need to find the right height and firmness you need. I tend to like a lower pillow since I tend to sleep on my back, but it's nice to be able to fluff up the pillow for when I slee...

Bathrooms
Want clear shower doors and tile without breaking a sweat? Spray this on and walk away. Your glass doors and tile walls will be shiny, slick and clear without hard scrubbing or elbow grease. While fiberglass tub surrounds don't come as clean, the rest of your shower stall will be sparkly clean. Just spray it on once a week. I've scrubbed the glass doors with every other cleaner, but never had them looking this clear before.
Wet & Forget Weekly Shower Cleaner
Hate having to move around in the shower just to get wet because the spray is so weak and empty in the middle? Pick the 2.5 gallon option, and this showerhead spews out a nice full stream of water to cover your body.
Speakman Showerhead, 2.5 GPM, Jade Green
Once you experience the warm satisfying clean, you will never be satisfied with just paper. Not to mention a warm seat on a cold day. You'll always look for that warm ‘wash’ botton wherever you go potty.

This is the Best Jar Lid Opener I've used. The older you get, the harder it is to unscrew those pesky bottle and jar twist off lids. The ‘adult-proof’ lids might as well be glued on. The jars vacuum packed lid is always suctioned on so tight, you nee...

Light, slick pizza peel for launching your 'za easily into a hot oven.
Perforated Pizza Peel, 12 x 14 Inch
Small and portable, but bid enough for cranking out personal size pizzas in less than a minute at 750 degrees. While the small size of the oven makes it more portable for tailgating or camping, it does make it a little challenging keeping the pizza f... It's a fun and tasty gadget.

The right tool for the job. There's something about mixing dough with your bare hands that gives you a kind of satisfaction that you don't get with an electric mixer. And sometimes you just want to quickly mix up dough for a loaf of bread or pancake ...
Dough Whisk (aka Danish Dough Whisk)
This is a great simple and safe bread lame that makes scoring/slashing your bread easy. It's design makes it easy to safely store the blade in the body for safe keeping.

Great baking stone for bread and pizza. This is a nice heavy duty stone that holds and radiates heat well for your baking needs and for getting really hot for crisp pizza crusts. I was impressed with the nicely beveled edges and quality of this stone.

This beautiful, high quality, countertop oven does it all: toast, bake, broil, air fry, convection bake. The only thing that would make this perfect would be a built in steam function. I'm continually impressed by the quality and design of Breville appliances. They obviously think about the functionality and design of their products, and build them to both look and feel high quality. These ovens come in all sizes, this one is proba... But with the larger size is the ability to handle most of my baking needs. I rarely use the big, main oven.

Great lame for more control and flexibility
Bread Lame
The standard in Detroit style pizza pans. This well made, solid pan is the pan to get if you're trying to make an authentic style Detroit pizza. It's solid, wears well, and releases your pizza when the crispy cheese edges have glued themselves to the sides. This is the pan that most people reach for, and after using it to make pizzas, foccacia, and other ‘deep dish’ recipes, I can see why.

Things I use to make enjoying the outdoors more tolerable, and tools to help when you still get bitten.
Protect yourself from those disease carrying, blood sucking ticks and mosquitoes. Spray your clothing, tents, socks, etc and add a layer of protection.

I'm a mosquito magnet and avoid going outside because I get bitten just getting the mail. I hate not being able to enjoy the outdoors, but this Bug Bite Thing really sucks - in a good way. It literally sucks out the biting insect's saliva out of your body. Anytime I get bitten, I pull out the Bug Bite Thing, and try to get as much of the insect saliva out. It makes a big difference between being really itchy, and having very little itch. I keep one in the house, the car, and when I travel anywhere.
Bug Bite Thing | Insect Bite Relief | Suction Tool
This is the best tool in my bug bite arsenal and critical for insect bite first aid. This, combined with the Bug Bite Thing suction tool, virtually eliminates the intense itchiness and reduces the welts that I get from mosquitoes and other biting ins... It works on the principle that most insect venom is thermolabile (sensitive to heat), and it applies heat to the bite. You hold it against the bite for 30 secs, or up to a minutes, and it greatly reduces the itchiness. This is definitely not a toy an... Update: It looks like it may be out of production, but hopefully this one from ebay is still in stock.
Therapik - Relieves Insect bite itchiness
When the bugs come out, this fogger knocks them down. Since I'm a mosquito magnet, any time I'm outside in my yard, I get eaten by the mosquitos. If I'm going to have a BBQ event, I always first spray the yard with this fogger. It works for several hours so that I don't have to worry about getting bitten. For longer term treatment I use the spray version that attaches to your hose.

Since I'm a mosquito magnet, I'm always trying to find ways to reduce the biting insect population around my house. Once every three months, I use this is a very easy and convenient sprayer to quickly spray my yard. Hook it up to your hose, turn on t... Just wish all the neighbors would use it too.
