Stuff that young you would have rolled your eyes at your parents buying or being excited about, but now that you're an adult it's the poo poo. I'm curious about what cool stuff is out there that I should know about. Share your cool household gadgets here! Here's some examples. Stainless steel garlic soap bar. Chopping garlic means your hands smell like it for the rest of the day. Wash your hands with a stainless steel bar and the smell is gone. It's science, somehow.  Mr clean magic eraser (melamine sponges). This poo poo just wipes away everything you rub it on. Also it burns if you rub it on yourself.  Drill scrubbers! Great for power scrubbing your shower tile or going to town on your stainless steel cookware with some bar keepers friend.  Bonus item: life pro tip hall of famer Charmin flushable wipes. You know why you need this and you sicken me. Richard M Nixon fucked around with this message at 01:04 on Nov 9, 2019 |

As someone who drinks a shitton of tea electric kettles are pretty rad  Dutch ovens are great and super versatile. I mean you can use then to make soup and bake bread in (not at the same time though)

Every kitchen needs some sort of knife sharpener. If your friends and family don't have a means of keeping their knives sharp that's an A+ gift idea right tere

A suction cup overflow drain cover for the bathtub. I hate that I can only fill my bath 3/4 full because the overflow is so low. Snap a little cover over it and now we can fill it to the brim.

I just got the eufy BoostIQ 11S robot vac. I've been wanting one for a long time but my floor was so messy and I wasn't about to drop $500+ on an iRobot. This was $220 so I said gently caress it and it motivated me to clean everything up from my living room and kitchen floors. It works great. It's "dumb" but it's crazy how good of a job it does. It just bumps into walls and objects and goes in weird patterns and I never thought it'd get the whole floor but it got everything. I never think it will and I don't know how but it has always managed to find it's way home to the charger. Again just bumping around until it finds it. It picks up a ton of dirt too. The first time I ran it I had to empty the tiny reservoir 4 times, albeit my floor was pretty dirty.  It got into 2 places where I was sure it'd get stuck in but I just sat and watched while it did this to get out in about 10 seconds.  I love it.

Runs every day and gets pretty much all the dust, dirt, and animal hair. I've only had it get actually wedged maybe 2-3 times in the past two years. I have a series of bar stools next to each other and it navigates underneath them just fine. The only big thing is remembering to pick poo poo up off the floor. It loves eating socks, phone charging cables, and blankets that have fallen down. It also will run through dog poo poo on the floor. This is rare but once was enough.

Electric kettle is top-tier. SAlad spinner is super convenient if you eat a lot of leafy greens. Powerful Hand vac (eg, dyson ) is nice for ease of carrying around the house. Nice bathrobe & slippers is great for those sick/lazy days. Can’t go wrong with a double sided dildo, either.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/C-H-Hanson-Magnetic-Stud-Finder-03040/202563186 Stud finders are finicky no matter how much you spend on one, but this fucker, which is literally just a couple of magnets gives you zero false positives and is often quicker than electric. Plus, you never have to worry about batteries. This thing is super cheap and any home handy man or even a professional will appreciate it. I haven't used my electric stud finder in years. poo poo, even my wife who has been scared to death of making holes in the wall uses it.
