Yay!

Collapsible Over-the-sink Dish Rack ($20)

My opinion on dish racks: ugly, bulky, bacteria-ey.

Hanging Chair ($60)

I know I usually chose things that are cheap/unique/clever and I don't think this is really any of those things. But I really want it.
So in case Santa/My parents/Easter Bunny is reading this - *hint-hint* *wink-wink*.
I guess I need to start with a large amazing tree, and maybe living somewhere where it doesn't rain every day. But hey! A girl can dream, can't she!
 I would love to curl up and read in this bad boy. And who are we kidding, probably nap, too.

Amazon link!

Blender Bottle ($8)

Blending drinks just got easy. Usually when you try to blend any kind of powder into liquid you have two options.
1)Use a blender. Way too much work and mess.
2)Use a spoon. Doesn't really work and you still have a bunch of gross powder left. No bueno.
Here is the solution, this ball spring thingy shakes around and mixes everything really well and then is easy to clean. And you get a great travel drink container out of it also.

Reusable Keurig Coffee Filter ($12)

I don't even like coffee (don't hate) but I love this! I have always thought the Keurig machines were cool but SUPER wasteful and hoity-toity because you throw away a little plastic cup every single time! Now you can have delicious single serve coffee in this reusable coffee filter!

This is seriously amazing. I have one and I stuck it on my key and now it's a flashlight! Now I don't jab blindly at the keyhole when it's dark outside. Or when I'm trying to find my chapstick under the seat. It's awesome. I even got a compliment on it from they guys at the body-shop, so you know it's cool. I'm sure it could stick on anything. Hooray! Lights!

Fruit Bowl ($14)

Pretty sure you get the idea here, but it's pretty and keeps everything separated. I think I heard somewhere that bananas shouldn't touch other fruit because they ripen too fast? Could be a Celeste-apedia fact, I'm not sure.
Anyway, this would be a nice counter-top addition.

Pizza Scissors ($20)

These are awesome! We have a pair, and they are the absolute best for cutting pizza. So much easier, faster and cleaner than any other way! Apparently you can use them to cut other stuff too, like kids meals, or fabric or wrapping paper. They are good for non-stick pans because they bottom edge is flat and won't scratch.

Motion Sensor Night Lights (Three) ($30)

Motion sensored nightlights! I hate having a bright light when I'm trying to sleep, but want some kind of light if I need to get up in the night. These nightlights activate with movement within 10 feet, and have bright LED lights that illuminate a large area. They are weatherproof, too, so you can put them outside or in the garage. They do run on AA's, so make sure you grab a pack of them, here (20 for $8!).

"Smart" Measure - Scale and Measuring Cup ($20)

This is a scale and a measuring cup. It had different settings for oil, water, flour, etc, and either shows you the weight or converts it to volume (1 1/2 cup, etc). It is super accurate and can also "tare" amounts so you can set it back to zero and keep adding ingredients in there. The reviews say it is an amazing item that you will use constantly - a kitchen must-have!

Clear Window Bird Feeder ($9)

How fun! I love birdies! This suctions to your window and you put some bird seed in and then all that separates you and the birds is your window pane. Good for everyone, but especially if you live in a apartment or condo and need some more nature!

Touch Screen Compatible Gloves ($20)

So I know that touch screen gloves are all the rage right now.
Because lord knows we can't just enjoy the outdoors for 2 minutes without replying to that important text. "OMG, you are totes right. I hate her."
Okay, okay, I have them, too. I'm guilty alright!
But I hate that they all have different colored tips, because who needs to announce to everyone that you are well prepared to text Becky back at any moment with your made-for-texting gloves? Anywho, these are touch screen compatible gloves that are actually cute. There are a bunch of different designs if you click through to Amazon. Enjoy!

Credit Card Multi-Tool ($16)

If you're too cool for a swiss army knife, then this is for you. It's roughly this size of a credit card, slightly thicker and has all sorts of things: a 2 inch serrated knife, magnifying glass, compass, tweezers, bottle opener, flathead screwdriver, toothpick and ruler.
This is really cool and would fit in your wallet. I want it!

One Click Butter Cutter ($13)

To me this is one of those things that makes you think, why didn't I have one of these already? I like butter better than margarine, and in my head I think it's more healthy because there are fewer ingredients. But I HATE trying to spread hard butter. And I usually think it's pretty sketchy to leave it out on the counter.
So, this will hold your butter and you can keep it in the fridge and with a little squeeze, you get a perfect little square of butter. Yay!
