To Stick or Not to Stick... Probably not!
Review of Post It Notes by writeallnight

Advantages: colourful, fun
Disadvantages: dont stick, quite expensive for coloured paper

Post-It notes are little pieces of paper with a strip of sticky (or often not so sticky) glue at the top of them. They come in all shapes, sizes and colours, which is good because you can generally use them anywhere on anything and they will at least stan ... Read review

A Flippin' Good Turner!
Review of Oxo Good Grips Nylon Turner by Nar2

Advantages: Does what it says and more - easy to grip, handle and place food. Softer/more flexible than others
Disadvantages: Cool-touch rubberised handle isn't heat protected.

Many years ago when I was a student I first got into experimental cooking using non-stick cheapie saucepans purchased from Argos. I never learnt to buy good quality cookware that my parents tried to teach me about and every year found that if I bought Arg ... Read review

My Best Buddy
Review of JML Dri Buddi by stickyangel

Advantages: Dries clothes fast, cheap to run, heats the room
Disadvantages: Can't fit loads in it, quite noisy and unsightly

I bought a JML Dri Buddy when I moved in with my boyfriend around 6 months ago and so far it's served us well. We bought it because we often need things like work uniforms drying quickly and I don't really want to put the heating on just to dry q few thin ... Read review

Not for me sadly. I had three of them - all broke on the control dial and the drying takes far too long whilst being too noisy. Ended up buying a "TV commercial" version from a BN store which is half as noisy, has better heat settings and does the job without the poorer plastic finish that the JML version has. by Nar2

Lakeland Banana Tree
Review of Lakeland Chrome Banana Tree by bexx0907

Advantages: Keeps bananas fresh, looks good
Disadvantages: None for me

We have a fruit bowl in our kitchen but it is nothing special to be honest and it means that most fruit is just clumped together which caused a couple of issues. The first issue is that by the time you put a bunch of bananas in the bowl, it means that the ... Read review

Spider, You Have Been Evicted....Please Leave My House!
Review of Spider Catcher by taz123456

Advantages: Price, very useful, simple but effective
Disadvantages: None

Stating that I do not like spiders is an slight understatement, I hate them. If I see one, then I am straight off to the other side of the room, jumping on beds and chairs to get as far away from them as possible! Yes, I know, slightly over the top reacti ... Read review

For your notes
Review of True Utility Cash Stash by theredrobin

Advantages: easy to use, waterproof, notes storage
Disadvantages: none

I bought this cash stash online. I'd seen them around quite a bit and thought they would be handy to have. It cost me £5-£6 at the time but i'm pretty sure you can probably get it cheaper now. The cash stash is a little aluminium storage compartment ba ... Read review

These sound as good as I hoped - I bought these for one of my friends at Christmas who is one of those baker-dieters, though the ones I bought at John Lewis were in a horrible light grey colour. She's also quite absent minded, so the magnetic spoons are always stuck to the fridge! by Nar2

Review of Masterplug TM24 Mechanical 24 Hour Timer by katykicker

Advantages: Easy to use, simple to understand the set up, cheap, reliable.
Disadvantages: The black segments can be fiddly for tiny fingers.

My husband and I work random shifts on random days and sometimes this means that our home is left empty throughout the day or night. As we have a cat and also tropical fish we like to ensure that there is always a light on at home during the evenings so t ... Read review

Disadvantages: Need two free hands to operate it

waste of money
Review of Laserpod Galaxy by blueskyboy

Advantages: it has lights
Disadvantages: Jerky movement, tacky as hell, waste of money

This is a terrible waste of money. If swirling lights are your thing this may interest you for a few moments, however if you are of average or higher intelligence you can’t fail to be disappointed by this junk. 30 or so red dots slowly (and predictably) c ... Read review

A Tough Nut to Crack
Review of Bluw Maggie Nutcracker by GodfatherOfSoul

Advantages: Humorous concept. Stronger than expected. Easy to grip when squeezing. A definite talking point.
Disadvantages: Not as effective as conventional nutcrackers. Not designed for heavy use.

Maggie Nutcracker As someone who loves a novelty I usually end up receiving my fair share of quirky gifts at Christmas/Birthdays - some better than others. One thing I never expected to get given was a nutcracker - any nutcracker for that matter, ... Read review
