Problem Solving Gadgets
So many things waiting to speed up tasks, or at least make you procrastinate less getting them done because they’re made easier. Items for cooking, cleaning, and more.
Ordered this for my father, who enjoys both coffee and tea in it daily. It’s so easy to clean, and the filter allows add-ins like herbs or fruit or even ice for infusions directly into your drink. Also great insulation.
Augshark 20oz Insulated Water Bottle w/ Straw
Powerful food processor, used to make hummus and other dips regularly. The scraper feature is so convenient, and it holds so much at once.
Hamilton Beach Food Processor & Vegetable Chopper
This has been perfect for any type of yogurt, I simply set the temp and time to ferment the milk of my choice with a small amount of any plain leftover yogurt I liked, and when it’s done I have rich creamy yogurt in a few hours. I just add sweetener...
Ultimate Probiotic Yogurt Maker with Timer
I love that I can set this mat on the table, turn it on, then set a hot dish on it and not worry about it growing cold before it’s time to eat. You can keep any hot food as hot as you need it to be for as long you need.
Food Warming Mat for Buffet, Electric Tray
If you have french doors that don’t lock, you need these. I tried several solutions to keep the doors shut that didn’t work before finding these last year. I believe they’re a newer product and I wish they’d been available years ago but having them n...
2 Pcs Adjustable Child Safety Door Top Lock
When my daughter stopped playing with her dolls and stuffed toys as much but wasn’t emotionally ready to give them away, this was the best solution. They hang right over her loft bed so she can still access them easily. The net holds a LOT of 18” stu...
Stuffed Animal Storage Hammock w/ LED Light
Get these in your kids’ favorite color and hang from the bunk or loft bed so they can have everything they need for bedtime and chill time right by their sides. My daughter’s holds her journals, wallets, small electronic devices, chapsticks, and litt...
Bseash Bunk Bed Organizer 8 Pockets Orange
Got this for my daughter to use for her laptop. I like that it keeps the laptop off her lap with a cushion on the bottom, keeps both her and the laptop cool with the vented surface and hollow storage space below allowing air circulation, and that the...
Navaris Adjustable Laptop Desk with Storage
I use this in to places in the home where there are always devices and appliances in use to ensure there’s an outlet for everything.
QINLIANF 5 Outlet Surge Protector w/4 USB
This is the newer model of the Panasonic machine I had. I trust this brand because my own Panasonic machine lasted 10 years, and when we got another brand it barely lasted two before it quit. The Panasonic machine made delicious loaves of white sandw...
Panasonic Bread Maker SD-R2550, 20 Presets
This blender was a gift and gets used most often for smoothies bc it’s the easiest and fastest way to get one to two servings ready to sip. Just plug it in, throw in your ingredients and twist to blend, release to stop. A favorite kitchen item.
nutribullet Pro Blender 900W, 32oz & 24oz Cups
I use this stick blender when I have either just a cup of something or a huge pot of something I need to blend in situ, and it has served us well. Powerful motor with a turbo option lets me turn frozen fruit into a smoothie right in the cup I want to...
Powerful 500W Immersion Hand Blender with Turbo
I used these to hold very lightweight fabric wireless wall sconces securely to the walls without nails. They go on and come off easily. Perfect for lightweight items that just don’t merit holes in the wall.

Space saving, storage-adding, stylish, comfortable, affordable pieces for your home.
I got this chair five years ago for my daughter’s room, with a microfiber cover. It was easy to put together, and came together in minutes for a fluffy nest anyone who comes in enjoys, and it has barely lost its cushiness in all that time.
LITA Lazy Chair with Ottoman, Burgundy
This chair was great for my daughter. I clipped it on to the side of our round dinner table and it never loosened unless we loosened it. The cover on it is removable and washable and so is the tray. It’s great to clip on when needed without taking up...
MTWML Hook On High Chair with Tray - Stripe
Ours holds a LOT of linens in my daughter’s room and gives her (and I sometimes) cushioned seat. Make sure all the sides are under the top before pressing down and it will remain sturdy and hold you up when you sit.
Otto & Ben Mellow Folding Box Chest Ottoman 30"
These units can be put together in lots of combinations to fit your space. I have several around the house offering cheap storage jn tight spaces. Cubbies for several kids, craft supplies, school supplies, games and puzzles, clothes… these have held ...
SONGMICS 16-Cube Storage Organizer, Black/White
I love how the neutral color, the modern shape, and the natural textured shade. We used several of these in a large high-ceilinged room to add ambience in any color, anywhere, no outlet required. The LED light batons are magnetic, so it’s easy to rem...
OCATO Wireless Battery Wall Sconces Set of 2
Fell in love at first sight, we were so happy to replace our heavy old 80s-90s era fandelier (you know the ones with five brass-accented paddles and and four glass-enclosed lights and the dangling chains that broke long ago) with a sleek, gorgeous, m...
Minka-Aire F844-DK 52" Ceiling Fan LED
We stuff these with guest blankets and pillows and use them in our den. Soft and comfy, you can get quite a lot into each one to make it nice and tightly packed. We got them in light brown, but there’s several other colors available.
HIGOGOGO Round Corduroy Pouf Ottoman, Brown
When the nieces and nephews are staying over, they fill these with their overnight clothes and blankets. They’re huge, they hold it all. Fun, cozy extra seating in lots of colors.
Stuffed Animal Storage Bean Bag Cover, Amber
Eclectic Decor
This type of sweet, understated yet fun-to-look-at light is installed in my daughter’s bedroom where she has a tropical/beachy theme. The beads come unassembled but once the fixture is installed, hanging them takes only a few minutes. The finish is a...
