I have been using the rack that fits on the inside of my sink for years; mine is almost identical to the one pictured. Couldn't be without it!

I have and love the lighted magnifying glass as well. I don't know how I managed without it. I have 3 back up ones!

Hi @LillyandHobo  Woman Happy

 

Do you happen to have a pic or exact item title, of the gadget you're referring to?

 

 

 

I bought that page sized "Eye Candy" one (below), and only lasted me 10 minutes.  The batteries are recessed so I couldnt even attempt to fix it. TIA

 

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS (particular) ITEM below:

Hi Gadget_Lovers Woman Happy

       (btw, this is the former   MakeUp Maidn  -or

             some kind of likewise spelling)

 

I think you are going to love this Gadget!! 

 

I've been using my Fanny Pack to carry my Cell Phone. Woman Frustrated

 

I'm now going fun shopping & picking up some kind of attractive gizmo, (example below), to Carry around my Cell Phone (around my neck or crossbody):

 

 

Crossbody Detachable Phone Chain Strap Lanyard

  (ref:  Amz  ~$20)

*AND*

(if it exists yet, or I can figure it out),  Im  hoping to find/create a Cell Phone Power Bank (like below) to hang off with my Cell Phone Lanyard too (w/o breaking, dropping both off my neck).

 

Example here:

Re: Gadgets - Hacks - Unique, Unusual or Useful

I like this thread, thank you for starting it. I love these headlamps. I bought 1 to use in my nursing career but use it for so many other things. I use it at night, outside and in my emergency kit for lighting. I keep 1 by my bed at night, in case I need to get up. They work really well.

...I was browsing a few old-ish magazines, and ran across this idea using an old wood cutting board.  Preferably the types we can hang.

 

The DIY:  Paint the  wood cutting board with chalkboard paint, and after completely dry, use as a chalkboard!

 

I thought it's a great idea. 

 

I have a few old cutting boards that I cover with foil and use as a 'hotplate'.  (Placing hot pans and hot bowls, glass baking pans, etc. on it, so to not harm my counter or table.)  

 

But, the chalkboard idea is something that I hadn't thought about.

 

 

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).
