#2 Your Collection Of Flimsy Chip Clips Has Officially Been Served An Eviction Notice By This Mini Bag Resealer
Review: “This little iron is very handy. Great for resealing plastic bags. Even though it is small it is made in a way to fit over a full sized bag of chips as shown in my pics. It heats up in 30 seconds and comes in a nice little case. Very Cool! The main reason I wanted something like this is that I often buy fancy crackers or nuts for charcuterie boards and by the time I have my next party the items have gone stale . .. this is a way to really save on those and keep the fresh in between parties!” – Laura Graham

#7 You’ll Feel Like The Main Character Of Your Own Cooking Show Every Time You Season Your Food With A Glass Salt Pinch Pot
Review: “This salt cellar is delightful; it is heavy-weight glass, and it is beautifully crafted. Plus it meets the need I had which was to get a pinch of Celtic salt without reaching deep into the product’s plastic bag. I will add a small spoon that fits inside the jar to keep from contaminating the salt. The container is not dishwasher safe. But it took me about 4 minutes to wash and dry it by hand. There are several colors as well as a clear container, but the green seems a natural color for storing Celtic salt. I’m trying to think of other ways to use these containers since they look pretty on the cabinet.” – Charlotte K. Lowrie

The bill does an amazing job scraping at those last little bits, getting every ¢ of PB.. which these days is so important!” – Sharon 203

#16 Your Barista Will Be So Proud You’ve Finally Brought In A Grown-Up Cup Like A Ceramic Coffee Travel Mug

#20 The Only Crime Scene You’ll Actually Want On Your Countertop Is A Ketchup Splatter Spoon Rest

Functionally, it’s large and easy to clean, though it doesn’t lay perfectly flat, and has a plasticy shine to it, but otherwise it’s great.” – Stef
