Life changing products

[Crayzeefrog]

Looking for some gift inspiration! What do you own that has been a game changer for you?

For me, it was the lockdown purchase of a tumble dryer that has really transformed my life! And getting DH some AirPods (well a cheap version of them) for Xmas last year changed his

I bought a cheap air fryer to see what the fuss was all about and have used my oven precisely twice since. Bloody love it!!

Yumbox lunchboxes for all of us . Crazily expensive (although I refused to pay full price and got them cheaper) but literally life changing!

Can't live without a tumble dryer. I also love an electric under blanket. Amazing for keeping warm and aches and pains.

Ooh I have dropped some heavy hints about an airfryer. Glad to hear they are good!

Tell me more about yumboxes… in what way are they life changing? That you don’t need to wash up 100 little pots every day? I’m tempted

Mine is Viakal, but I doubt many people would be delighted to be unwrap that on Christmas morning... Present wise - the Bodum travel cup I got years ago is still brilliant. Or my Chilly s bottle actually.

I agree, viakal is almost worth being a present in the effort it saves though thankfully I've now got a dp who cleans without being asked, cajoled and generally begged to help

Honestly, they’re amazing! I used to have a thousand Tupperwares of various sizes for yoghurt, veg , fruit etc etc for each person. They would either not come home or come home disgusting and need washing , the I would lose the lids. Now I just lay out the yumboxes and fill the compartments in a sort of Pinterest worthy military lunch box filling exercise. Also we eat a lot more varied lunches as it’s fun to fill the different sections with interesting food. I know this is ridiculous and insane but I actually enjoy making packed lunches now!

A small, cheap item but has been lifechanging. www.gingerlyeco.com/ecococonut-twin-pack-scourers

I've been trying to go more natural/green, and had struggled to find a decent pot scourer that a) was natural and not plastic and b) that actually worked. We prefer not to use the dishwasher unless the sun is shining (solar) so do handwash a fair bit.
