I do a round up of some of my favorite products this week every year -- because I am NOT a girl who gets up early on Black Friday to shop. Nope. I have friends that do it and love it and I'm always tempted. But my tired, full turkey belly self sees the darkness outside and says NO, let's stay in bed and shop online!
So this is for those of you who are like me. And even for those of you who aren't, because these items are GOOD and are great gifts. But I think you might like them for yourself as well. :)
This was one of those items I found while we were in the hotel...as I dreamed of hot baths in our new house:
I have always wanted one of these bamboo bath trays but our old tub was too wide. This one narrower so I was excited that we could use it! It stays on our tub at all times and I freaking LOVE it. There's a spot to hold up your book/tablet/phone, one for a candle or soap and do you see the best part? A holder for your wine glass! 😂 Amazing!
It's easy to slide back and forth and as I said, it stays here all the time. It dries out easily as well.
My husband has very few requests when it comes to general decor, but he loves Christmas decorations. Months ago he mentioned he wanted us to put candles in the windows at the new house and I was happy to oblige. :) We did some research and ended up buying these flameless window candles:
I LOVE them. The base has a little bit of weight to it so they don't feel cheap. They come with a remote so you can turn them on with that, or you can use the timer option so they turn on at the same time every day for five hours.
They also come with batteries and so far so good -- we've had them up for a couple weeks now and all are still lighting up beautifully every night. These candles are a little expensive but so far seem to be great quality -- they look SO lovely when we drive up to our house! And the timer option makes it so you set them and forget.
OK, I shared this one with you a couple weeks ago but a reader just told me my favorite vacuum is on sale this week so I had to add it to the list. You can see why I love this vacuum so much at that link, and one of the reasons was the price. But this week this lightweight vacuum is only $30!!:
Ahhh, get it! Go now. I just bought some as Christmas presents. :) I love this little vacuum and how powerful yet lightweight it is.
I have had this little chargeable screwdriver for years and really came to appreciate it after we moved:
I couldn't find my bigger drills and this was the first I found in boxes -- it was SO helpful. It still had a charge after sitting in storage for months too. It's powerful enough to put furniture together as well as hang items. You can easily change the direction as well. It is a GREAT tool idea for someone just getting into DIY -- hanging photos is the first step!
I shared our foyer with you last week, and my favorite new decorating items are the tall black lanterns:
I am not kidding when I say I've been looking for an affordable lantern for a very long time. I love the look of them but tall ones (this one is two feet tall) are hard to find for a decent price. A blogging friend shared them on Instagram and I loved the look of these -- so simple and pretty.
They can be used anywhere! I think these will move around a lot. And I want more too -- but I'm holding back for now as I get a feel for how I want things in the new house.
This next one is thanks to my husband as well -- he found these extension cords/usb cords online and we love them:
We have two cats that used to get sick a lot. Both of us have had cats every day of our lives and we couldn't figure out why they did it. We've taken them to the vet numerous times and no one could explain it (they weren't sick, no allergies), so I did some research on my own. I read that some cats overindulge and I found some suggested a timer feeder for the cat food:
This thing has really helped! We put a small amount of food in each compartment and you can set the time for it to rotate to whatever you want (and it's really easy to set). Smaller portions help their eating and therefore their bellies, so it has reduced the issue BIG time. But now that we have it, we love it overall and highly recommend it for kitty owners. It runs on batteries but they are supposed to last a full year -- so no worries about it running out. We've had these for months now and so far so good.
There you go! These are our latest and greatest in our household. We love and use all of them. Do you have any of these items in your house?
