Hey there! I’m dug out from under the snow and all caught up with my knee exercises so I thought I’d give you ‘Stuff I Like’ part deux.
Who doesn’t like affordable products that make our lives easier? Not me! Last month I shared with you some products that I use on a regular basis that definitely fit the bill, and here are a few more I wanted to share with you.
A few years ago our daughter bought us some luggage and an organizer similar to this one was part of the set. At the time I didn’t really think I would have much use for it. Boy, was I wrong! I use it nearly every time I go grocery shopping (just did so yesterday), and pretty much each time I use it everyone wants to know where I got it, including the cashiers. It holds the equivalent of about three bags of groceries, and since it’s just the two of us more often than not it’s all I need. (In case you’re wondering, I shop more than 1x a week).
I’ve seen different versions on line, and they range anywhere from $15 up. Some, like this one, even have built in coolers. I believe the one we have was purchased via Red Envelope and it seems they’re currently out of stock, but they’re readily available on so many other web sites including Amazon you shouldn’t have a problem finding one to suit your needs.
Oh, and it doesn’t have to be just for groceries. It can organize pretty much anything. Cleaning supplies, emergency car repair items, toys…anything you want! You can google ‘car organizers’ and a ton of stuff should pop up.

Don’t you hate it when you’re washing something and the water gets under the glove? Regular gloves don’t really do a good job of keeping your arms dry. They’re too short and too wide at the cuff. These solve that problem, and they’re on sale so hurry!

Once again, this is something our daughter bought a few years ago for us and my first reaction was hummmm…kinda looks like a contraption. Wrong again. I love it. It runs on batteries and after about 5 years the batteries just ran out the other day. I can’t promise they all will last that long, but just thought I’d share that tidbit with you.
I dislike ironing boards. They’re big. They’re clumsy. They take up way too much room. And I hate to iron. I try to buy clothes that need little to no ironing, but every once in a while it’s inevitable. So I just whip this out and place it on my washer/dryer. Easy peasy.
For some things, you will need to use your big girl ironing board, but for touch ups this works just fine.

What fun products. I have never seen a can opener like that! I think I would love one of those. Those car organizers are really handy, too. xo Diana

More great picks. I’m really diggin the luggage tote and the ironing quilt. I hate when items go flying around in the trunk. How nice and tidy one of these would be! The ironing cloth/ quilt looks like a real time saver. Just being able to whip that out for a quick ironing touch up (I’d probably never use my iron board again, lol) Thank you for sharing, Doreen 😉

I want that can opener thingie. I have a hate/hate relationship with all can openers. My husband bought me one years ago that NEVER opens correctly for me. It’s been in the garbage more times than I can count, and he keeps dragging it back out. So I bought a hang-crank opener, and it was junk too. Then I bought another hand-crank one. It works better, but at this stage in my life, I should really just have a can opener that works, don’t you think?

Absolutely! And tell your husband his job is to shop at Harry Winston, not Kmart. At least not when he’s shopping for you.
Diamonds (and can openers) are a girlssssss best friend!

Ok….I want them all!!! I’ve been looking at the grocery trunk organizer thing for awhile but wasn’t sure if I’d like it. Now I know if you think it’s great….it is! And those gloves are really cute….new fashion statement I think! 🙂

Hi Doreen! It sounds like your knee is doing much better, I’m so happy about that. I had a foot operation once and I sat on my butt for weeks.
I love all of these neat things, especially the ironing pad. I just use my counter with a towel the very few times I iron. I like this a lot.
Take care and thanks!
XO,
Jane

Great products you shared Doreen. Love that organizer and those rubber gloves. It is so gross when water gets down the rubber glove, not a fan.

I love the can opener. I have a manual one that opens the can that way, but I also have rheumatoid arthritis in my hands and a battery operated version sounds pretty good to me. Thanks for sharing. xxDenise

I think the ironing mat for the washer/dryer is fantastic! I would use that. I hate getting my ironing board out especially for something little. Great products you featured. It’s always fun to learn about new things out on the market.

The stuff you like is very likeable! All of these products do an excellent job at what they were designed to do, and that translates into very HAPPY humans: organized, dry, well fed, chic looking people who get the job done in style! Thanks for sharing; I’m dreaming of those pretty gloves, elegant enough to wear to the ball, (along with a waterproof apron for an evening gown!).
Happy Thursday, my friend!
