Another plea for shave ice poster to come back with the specific recommendation. Too many on Amazon to choose!

Just got one, little over 200 after coupon. I love detaching handheld and doing floorboards and couch in a breeze

mini exercise bike for my mom. She's old and needs that. It gives her a sense of having something to do and a bit a of exercise.

I tell this to my DH all the time. He rips off his address and shreds by hand from every piece of mail. He is living in 1996 when it comes to identity theft.

Not a product, but I paid a guy who cuts fashion model hair to give me a short cut… not quite pixie, but the hair is above my ears! First time trying short hair and it’s very freeing.

I don't have a ton of counter space, so this is great.
I bought this thing severa years ago when someone here posted about it. Best thin since sliced bread.


PP here. Yes, I heard about it here too! It's sort of a game changer for us. Love it!!!


We recently got this and the joy I felt by reclaiming a big swath of counter space was just awesome. I also got an air fryer so kids can make their own nuggets. That was a huge win, too.

I got a faux Peloton on clearance for $199. It was a good buy and I’m enjoying taking Peloton classes without spending thousands.

Which Hokas do you have?

I have Bondi 6s. They're oldies, but still excellent. Look for the Bondi 7s. They'll run you ~$150--worth every cent of that price.


Oh I was looking at the Bondis but I heard the more current model doesn’t feel as cushiony and supportive. I’ve also read they feel heavy after short time running.

Lots of quality heat proof spatulas. So much better than having two dinky spatulas. And more than 1 pair of kitchen scissors. Now I have a crock full of spatulas and kitchen scissors.

A Free People sun hat. At $50ish dollars it was a splurge for me, but it’s really beats the random $12 hats from Chinese sellers on Amazon.


Which spatulas are the best? I have so many cheap ones that don’t hold up.


The ones I have from Williams-Sonoma have lasted forever.
