That requires an outlet nearby? I might have paid extra for mine but I would have had to add an outlet. Either way, I'm jealous. Pretty sure the next toilet i buy will require a small loan.
I recently bought this exact same thing and am disappointed by it. It keeps the drink a little warm but that's it. I mean, it is called a mug "warmer" so I guess I can't complain too much, but it would great if the max temp was like 30 degrees hotter.Coffee/Tea warmer. don't have to worry about your drink getting cold. 3 temp settings.
Thanks to the fine people in this thread I have also joined Team Bidet and am currently in the planing stages for convincing everyone I know to buy one as well.
wubbanub pacifier. It had enough weight where it wouldn't fall out of the babies mouth and they loved playing with the animal.
Haha, yea this thing is bad ass. I actually popped the stitches off of the pacifier and replaced it with a better one for her age group (8-15 months). We are about to chop the nipple part of the pacifier off, or change it to a teething ring.
Insulated vacuum sealed mugs/thermoses.
Keeps cold drinks cold, warm drinks warm for hours.
Bought these for a friend because I love using mine so much (mine from David's Tea though) and he and his kids love them too now:

These single-cable magnetic clips are great
I love these (lots of different types on Amazon) but I find I spend a lot of time fishing for the clip after it slides down the cable. But we have about 5 in the corner of the room for lightning and usb cables for our 'charging area'
A packable down jacket. I've got a Uniqlo one.
They weigh nothing and pack down small enough to always have in your bag.
Once you put it on and get moving they are pretty warm. It's much better than taking a bucky jacket that you may not wear, then be stuck wearing or carrying it.

I use these instead of magnets. They're not as pretty but I stick them out of sight (and you can get them in white). But to fix your clip problem couldn't you wrap a bit of tape around the cable below the clip, so it can't slide down?
One of these
If you don't already have a kitchen sink faucet that has a built-in hose, getting one of those things is great and makes it so much easier to wash the sink or anything in it.
Bought mine for like 5$ at Walmart, it has two different spray modes that you can swap by pulling/pushing on it and it literally takes 30 seconds to install on your faucet.

.. of course I can ..
:runs off to find some tape:
For those who commute by bicycle, investing in a proper rack/panniers system has done wonders for my back and overall comfort.
No more sweaty backs, no more heavy loads pressing you down.

These Kitchen Towels. Have to confess I used to go through a lot of those Bounty kitchen rolls.
My thinking was that even if these wear early, I break even if they last a couple of months. But it has been 3+ months now, and not a thread out of place!
This is a great suggestion. Ordered.
scotch tape the clips to the cables? could be ugly but problem solved.
edit: d'oh already suggested.
Instead of having a constantly hot mic we just use smart outlet plugs to attach our lights to and use an app on our phone to toggle them on/off. Paired with smart LED bulbs and you get a lot of customization.
It's great to not get out of bed to turn off the lights.
Additionally, you can set a bunch of lights up together so you can have different lighting arrangements to turn on with a single tap on the phone. All our christmas lights were attached to smar outlet plugs so we could turn all them on/off with a single tap.
I know people don't want listening devices all over your house but controlling stuff like lights by voice is a lot different than controlling by app, as far as life changing goes.
It's not exactly a purchase, but "spending" the time to move your passwords into a password manager like Last Pass, etc. is pretty dang worth it. Spend the time importing all your accounts, and change each of your passwords using the password manager to something randomly generated and different between accounts. I did this with my parents over the holidays. Shouldn't take more than a couple hours, but the peace of mind and time saved in the future is worth it. Especially if you're the type who uses the same password for more than one site/account.
Awesome for watching stuff on my tablet in bed. Can hold a Switch too.

We buy something similar from IKEA and they are great. Got like 20 of em a year ago and still going strong.These Kitchen Towels. Have to confess I used to go through a lot of those Bounty kitchen rolls.

I'll raise you this. Looks stupid as hell but man sometimes I just want to lay in bed and watch something.Awesome for watching stuff on my tablet in bed. Can hold a Switch too.

Was on sale for like $3 at Walmart so bought a bunch and been handing them out as gifts. Their retail price originally was $20 and I lol'd so hard and now they are bargain bin

Do you wear that around your neck? I swear it's something straight out of Wall-E. ;)

Oh interesting! Haven't seen this kind before, it hooks to your neck!? Is it comfortable?
The kind I use can attach to the bedframe and hold full-size tablets if you're looking for that peak laziness life beyond the smartphone screen size. Can't beat that price though lol.
I'll see your popcorn popper and raise you A DIFFERENT POPCORN POPPER:
It's a silicon popcorn popper. It's $10-$20 on Amazon depending on which one you buy. You throw some kernals in the bottom of the bowl, (with or without oil, it's fine either way,) microwave it for 2-3 minutes, and you got yourself a bowl of fresh hot popcorn.
Real talk, I was dubious about it. I wanted a new popcorn popper, and this random-ass silicon bowl was the highest-rated popcorn popper on Amazon. But for $12, I took a chance, and it works amazingly well. I have two now so that when I'm making large batches of popcorn I can swap them out of the microwave.
Great recommendation! Bought one.
By the way, if anyone's wondering, this thing will leave your skin smooth like a baby. Also, the cleanliness feeling after using it is on another level.
Bought it thanks to this post and will never go back to sponges/loofahs.
I bought some of these for a xmas gift for the wife with a bunch of toiletries and nice shampoos etc. Consider me a convert, why the fuck do they sell loofas and all this other trash when you just need these? Abrasive as hell so it scrubs great, and generates a ton of foam.
Velcro zip-ties:
They're dirt cheap, fully reusable, surprisingly durable, and extremely useful: cable management, reinforcing/securing things together, adding a grip/loop to objects, basic organization, you name it. I keep finding new ways to make use of them.

It's just a flat loofah.
Any skin exfoliant will do the same thing.
But exfoliated skin feels really good.
Epoxy Putty. There several types but this stuff is great. You can fix some much stuff with this, you can use it to make items or modify items for various use. You can use it for craft or cosplay stuff.
Think of it of a playdough that set permanently it the shape you made it, that does not shrink is super hard, sandable and paintable.
For example, I broke the base of my blender (part that holds the container). I shaped a piece of Epoxy putty to replace the broken corner and it works. I recreated the base of a plastic electronic doll of one of my kids with it. Fixed leaky pipes. Sealed the hole around a downpipe and a drainage hole. Modified and repaired wargame miniatures.

These are $7 once you clip the coupon and let me use my Fidelio X2HR or any other headphones with 3.5mm jack as a Bluetooth set.
This. If I pull out my phone in the middle of the night to fiddle with stuff it wakes me right up. Going 'Alexa turn fan on or off' was game-changing for me lol.
I'm a believer now, and they're cheap as fuck so what do you have to lose. Really good backscratchers to when dry.
Right, the concept is the same but loofahs etc don't apply enough pressure on your back. All those scrubbers on handles etc are bullshit compared to this. This is like soapy sandpaper, works wonders.
Personally I use a free attachment called "spouse", but also I think salt scrub for body skin and pumice stone for feet is a better mix.
They're all fine options, depends on the individual needs/preferences.
If you can get your spouse to wash your back everynight, more power to you.
I just did this for New Year's! Been meaning to for a long time and it's a bit of a relief after getting everything more shored up security-wise.
Is that a mechanical nose trimmer? Where do i get oneAre you kidding me?Something line this is way safer and more convenient.
Consider your life changed, thank me later!
Bought both a Waterpik and a Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrush and my teeth always like I just walked out of the dentist's office. Waterpik $70 and Toothbrush $40. Not a bad investment at all.
One caveat is that if you're going to fix anything that will be touching food, you should use DAP instead:
But otherwise, yes, epoxy is the best, though I like the instant kind.
