Garden Genie Gloves with 4 built-in durable ABS Plastic Claws on each hand make it easy (fun!) to dig and plant without relying on traditional hand tools.

These gloves are sturdy in one size to fit most. Waterproof with latex coating. Sturdy to protect your hands and arms. Hint: For smaller hands, consider putting on a pair or regular cotton garden gloves first, then these Garden Claws over the top.  

These tools have just the right size brushes and scrapers to clean the tracks on sliding windows, doors, showers, shutters, air conditioners, and any other place with a groove or gap that fills with crumbs, dust, and debris.

I find myself reaching for these tools nearly every day! And they go right into the dishwasher when dirty and come out clean as a whistle.

A massage cane is a simple hand-held device for tackling muscle knots your hands can’t reach.

Years ago I bought this from the Relax the Back Store (for a lot more money than this). Simply amazing how it works. I can’t say it any better than this recent review:

“Out of all my self massagers, rollers, etc., this has to be one of my favorites. It’s great on leverage and hitting all those trigger points. The balls on the end are pliable hard rubber and so is the pinpoint. I use all aspects of this device daily and always come away feeling better.”

You’re going to wonder why you’ve waited all these years to get one of these things for your shower drain! You may have used a traditional kind of shower drain strainer, and I’m almost certain you discovered that it blocks the water flow and captures maybe a few hairs. Preventing hair clogs altogether? Uh, nope! So forget that thing.

This Shower Shroom gadget is amazing. It is designed so well (don’t ask me, I have no idea the engineering principles in play here), it really does catch all the hairs so you don’t end up with a clogged drain—and still allows the water to go down! You won’t be able to stop talking about it. Also, check out the  Sink Shroom and Tub Schroom.

What a genius idea. This attractive bowl is also a colander! Just throw the salad greens in, rinse, drain. and serve from the same bowl. Or pasta or fruit.

This simple, quality product from Joseph Joseph combines the functions of a preparation bowl, colander, and serving bowl in one convenient design. Its built-in colander means you can rinse food in the main bowl and then drain off the excess water, without having to tip the contents into a separate colander or sieve. Dishwasher and microwave safe, too!
