Mom's Gadgets

I love toasted sandwiches and this stove top machine makes the best grilled sandwiches. With its non-stick heavy metal it heats up quickly and cooks evenly. No spatula needed, the locking handles keep all the goodness locked inside. One extra item you don’t have to clean afterwards!

With the benefit of extra-long, easy-grip handles you are not burned by the heat of the stove. Also, the sandwich griller can be used on either gas or electric burners. No matter what you decide to make, grilled cheese, tuna melts, or french toast, they all come out tasting like bistro quality.

Clean up is a breeze with a little soap and water from the sink to wipe down the inside. I was also pleasantly surprised that it was easy to store. The handles can be locked, which allows you to tuck it in away like a briefcase or laying flat.

This great toaster sandwich griller makes every day sandwiches into something a little more special!

Just recently I decided to get acrylic nails.  My own fingernails have always left a bit to be desired.  So, I was excited to get them, however there was one thing I dreaded doing with them, dishes.  I have a dishwasher but apparently it is not the very best, it does not get my dishes clean.  So lately I’ve been trying to wash more of them by hand. No fun, but someone’s gotta do it.

So, yesterday I was in the local dollar store, and I was searching for gloves to use to cover my pretty nails when doing dreaded dishes.  Instead, I happened upon this great gadget,  a dishwashing liquid dispensing wand and scrubber for doing dishes.  It was super cheap, and though I’ve seen more expensive models I decided to opt for it and give it a try.

I got the gadget home and had to try it out. I whizzed through the dishes in not time, and even better barely had to get my hands wet.  I was one happy momma.  You can get a similar wand to the one I was using here.

Growing up I loved to read, so much so that my parents would have to MAKE me turn out my bedroom light or lamp.  Later in life I discovered the clip on light, or reading light that is perfect for reading a book in bed. I even found a travel sized one at the dollar store that was perfect for traveling. I used it during college.  It was so useful to have to read by especially late night study times.

I’m sure there are other uses you can find for such a light.  They make these in other styles and models that work well with seeing under your car hood for example or illuminating the interior of your car to read while someone else is driving or to read your map on vacation at night.

There are many uses for this handy gadget which I’m sure you may think of that I haven’t mentioned.  It makes a perfect gift for almost anyone in your life, so remember that when birthdays come or the holidays are approaching.  Inexpensive but useful, what coul be a better gift?
