The Staple Free Stapler!?!

December 29th, 2009


While cruising on the innertubes for random goodness I came across this little gem at ThinkGeek: The Staple Free Stapler. Imagine being able to staple away and never having to purchase staples again…the mind…it boggles.

*Update:  Made By Humans, Eco Staple Free Stapler, Desktop Stapler, Black (452)
is also available on Amazon with free super saver shipping and while the cost appears to be higher, it’s actually cheaper than paying for shipping at ThinkGeek.

Onion Goggles: Yeah, I rock em…

June 26th, 2009

41IQ-vnAtDL__AA280_I cook meals at least 5 nights a week in our household and many of those meals involve onions. I also wear eye make-up 7 days a week, which when combined unfortunately leaves a colorful mash-up on my face. I had been eyeballing these RSVP Onion Goggles at Amazon for some time, but as I already own a number of single-purpose kitchen gadgets I felt a bit guilty about purchasing them, so like any good mom, I guilted my family into buying them for me for mother’s day. For once, my plan worked! Now that I’ve been using them for about a month I have to say that, although my family laughs at me every time, they are so awesome. I haven’t shed a single tear and I used them 2 or 3x a week.  Never has another $20 been better spent.  I may look like a doofus, but underneath my nerdy onion goggles my eye make-up stays just as fresh as when I put it on in the morning and I don’t have to walk around looking like I have pink eye, so I’m a happy girl.  If black and lime green isn’t your taste they also come in pink and white.
