Imma gonna jump right in. No intro needed!

# 1. Zip-It Drain Cleaner

If you have long hair, this thing is amazing! No more nasty chemicals and waiting for hours to use your shower. Seriously, I bought this gadget about 7 or 8 years ago and haven’t used liquid Drano since! All you do is remove the plug, Insert the Zip-It gadget all the way into the drain, and then pull it out. The little barbs all along its shaft snags all that nasty hair in the drain allowing you to pull it out and restore drainage to your shower! How’s that for pulling your hair out???

Here are some pictures of it in action. BE PREPARED… The following images are rated Grossssssss.      

# 2. Funnels

Should I say it again? Funnels! Funnels! Funnels!!! There are so many uses for funnels and you can pick them up at any dollar store for next to nothing! Spend $1 or $2 more and get a little heavier-duty funnel to use for those large jobs!

# 3. Smart funnel

This is my favorite funnel and it HAD to have its own category. It has a “bottleneck holder” on both sides of the funnel allowing you to rebottle anything. Hate throwing away the bottle of lotion that has about 5 more uses in it, but you are sick and tired of smacking its bottom? Or trying to stand it upside down to let gravity do your work for you, just to have it fall over a million times before it is truly empty??? That is where this nifty funnel comes to the rescue. Just attach the holder clips on your old bottle and your new bottle. LEAVE the room…. Come back later and throw your old (now completely empty) bottle away! Check out the picture to see it in action.

🙁 9-10-2024 Update. I cannot find any place that sells this funnel anymore! If you know where this can be found, please leave a comment! I will link it!

# 4. Tube Keys

Here’s another way of getting that last little bit out, only this time out of tubes. Toothpaste. lotion. makeup primer. hair coloring… You know there is more in there but you just can’t squeeze hard enough. For just a few bucks these tube keys will solve the problem.

# 5. Thread or Floss

HUH???? Seriously??? YES!!! thread or floss…. This is the easiest and fastest way to cut all those creamy sticky foods! Do you hate spending hours making the perfect cheesecake just to ruin the presentation when you cut it? Uggghhhh!!! It sticks to the knife every time leaving you with a pile of mush. Watch the video below as I Cut the Cake with thread and get a PERFECT slice!

What about perfect Velveeta slices? How about cutting the whole block for nachos? 1 minute. Yes, it takes one minute to cut a whole block. It takes more time to separate it for the crock pot! Watch the video to see how.

(Side Note… I tried the “ribbon” type of floss… nope, not happening!! This does not work.)

# 6. Zip Ties

Endless uses…. Attaching things. Holds things together. Use a couple to attach a power strip to the leg of your bedside table. Or to hold a wrapped-up cord when storing electrical items. Zip Ties go where Duct Tape only dreams of going.
