Pack of 4 back scratchers, humans and dogs love them

Back scratcher is going on my next order! Between eczema, poor shoulder movement these days and this heat it's a necessity!

I bought these little dusting brushes a couple of months ago and they are brilliant! I use them all the time - inside lampshades, bulbs, light fittings, ornaments, tops of books/DVDs, curtain rails, blinds, laptop/keyboard, screens, skirting boards, fiddly areas etc. They wash well, and don’t lose too many strands.

Love Amazon and love this thread. I buy way too much and am going to have a look through my orders to see what I can suggest.
It's so interesting to see what others buy.

Graphista · 18/07/2021 02:34

Perfect @HerMammy

My recent purchases that I'm loving include

A travel toiletry bag that has my crazy amount of hair and toiletry bits under control, a 4 tier bamboo spice rack that fits perfectly in my tiny kitchen and has freed up some cupboard space and a new shade of green cartridges for my ink pen.

GregoryHouse · 18/07/2021 02:49

Ooh I love these kinds of threads. I recently bought one of those silicone toilet brushes that was mentioned on another thread and it's great!
Also Milton Lloyd perfume dupes.
Various pieces of baby equipment; travel high chair that packs up into a small bag, bath seat etc
My recent amazon orders are a completely random selection of items! Many of which I've discovered on Mumsnet but I haven't had a dud yet

Silicone calypo-style ice lolly moulds. Saved us a fortune over the years and take up minimal room in the freezer.

If anyone has recommendations for a back lotion applicator and some kind of dry exfoliating tool (I don't mind the kind long as can use it dry - brush, or gloves or whatever) hope you don't mind op?

TheAussieProject · 18/07/2021 03:10

A body brush and a nice body oil for after the shower. It will give you great legs for life !

P.s. so many brushes selection here, so funny

Myshitisreal · 18/07/2021 03:34

My two would be a hug light for crafting (goes around your neck) and more recently a coffee grinder to grind spices. That made. Me incredibly happy

Gingerkittykat · 18/07/2021 03:52

A colour changing egg timer.

I love mine, I could never get boiled eggs right and this does them perfectly every time.

As a bonus you will still have £17 left for other goodies!

seashells11 · 18/07/2021 07:06

A "chopstick" hair styler. Long lasting curls and very easy to use. The best I've used anyway. £20

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 18/07/2021 10:21

Could people put links please so i can buy all the things Smile

I don’t mind at all! Some brilliant suggestions here I may need to spend more than my voucher Grin

Grinder for spices . I've yet to try whole spices like cinnamon or something but for seeds it's fantastic. I've made toasted seed mixes up for my sourdough and will use it a lot for curry pastes

Hug light, so many uses

My husband bought one after in a different brand if that's not available .
It would be great for travelling as well. I love that it's rechargeable

1.4 kg tub of jelly beans, £10
They usually have a 18 month BB date so I tend to always have a tub in my stash for last-minute birthday gifts.

Myshitisreal · 18/07/2021 15:02

Ohhh my husband has taken to the jelly beans. The tubs are great for cupboard storage 😂 I've little bags of herbs and spices in mine

MerylSqueak · 18/07/2021 15:14

@Graphista could you please link your spice rack?

Graphista · 18/07/2021 17:18

Thanks op very kind

This is the spice rack

www.amazon.co.uk/Countertop-Organizer-Organiser-Criss-Cross-Free-Standing/dp/B07RZC73VL/ref=mpsa13?dchild=1&keywords=bamboo+spice+rack&qid=1626624793&sprefix=bamboo+spice&sr=8-3

I've got it sitting tall rather than wide, the tricky parts for me were the tiny kitchen and also that I have spices/herbs from 4 different supermarkets and they're all slightly different sizes and shapes. Many spice racks only take cylindrical

@Myshitisreal I have a hug light it may have been you that recommended? Not impressed if I'm honest. Hard to get the angle right and every time I move it has to be readjusted and the light wasn't bright enough. The headlamp works much better and as it's on your head the light is aimed where you're looking

Myshitisreal · 18/07/2021 17:29

Oh no! Don't think it was me, I've only ever talked about it on the crochet thread as a lot of us have them. Between mine and my husbands they have different degrees of light, each has 3 settings. I tend to put it behind me on the sofa pointing over my shoulder. I think they're amazing 😂

Im glad the head light works, it's class! I can't wear stuff on my head due to TMJ, I can barely wear my glasses.

Thankfully there's so many options we can all find something to suit us

MerylSqueak · 18/07/2021 18:39

Thanks. It looks good @Graphista
