Gifts for adults that make life easier

[Cinnamore]

This is one of my favourite categories of gift, and the possibilities are endless.

I wondered if anyone had ideas for things in this category?
So far I've got:

• really nice nail clippers (current ones are blunt)
• a little slotted spoon for food prep
• a new set of fire gloves
• one of those l'occitane keys
• a skincare hairband and towelling cuffs.

These are for a mixture of people!

Tweezerman tweezers

Mustard spoon

Le Creuset silicone spatulas

Salt pig

I keep seeing veg chopper devices on social media...I am thinking of getting one.

Silicone oven gloves

A little plate thingy to put down wooden spoon when cooking

Drawer organisers

Trolley pound coin keyring thingy

The thing you can put hot saucepans on

wine😉

A small spatula for getting the last bits out of a jar

Thanks for these ideas. Do you have a particular recommendation for fire gloves? Wondering if welding gloves would work?

Silicone oven mitt.. bought mine in Asda £5

Keyring torch

Bag light

Multi usb plug
Lazy Susan utensil holder
Metal butter dish
Classy hand soap in easy dispenser
Oil diffuser in kitchen with white stuff scent

Silicone oven gloves
Microwave plate warmers

Spoon spatula
Pizza scissors
Really good kitchen scissors
Bulb planter
Double handled rake
Solar powered motion sensor lights for garage/shed/porch

Do you have a recommendation for a double handled rake please?

I'm not saying these aren't useful and worth having but, if I got any of these as a gift, I'd be very disappointed

Boot jack
Apple slicer
Pot watcher/steam vent
AirTag

I'm concerned that the OP is a well meaning husband about to buy his wife a 'useful' gift.

OP, if you are my husband, I do not want a spatula.

Great suggestions all!

Ha I'm not a husband, but some are for my husband! Obviously they're not the only gifts, personally I'd rather have something useful than something generic I didn't need.

I'll be honest, I picked the ones with the best reviews from amazon!

My mum got us some of these years ago and we use them so often. Very handy (particularly for nut butter!)

A family schedule organizer

I would like the spoon for jars , really good kitchen scissors and a bag light.

Where do you get them?

@Cinnamore I think you may appreciate the thread below from last year
