In our day-to-day life, we use and enjoy certain things on an almost daily basis. There are things I just cannot imagine what we did before we owned them. They’re great gift ideas as well so with the holidays coming (Hannukah started on Sunday!), I thought I’d share a post linking to those items.
Please note, the Amazon.co.uk links earn me a tiny affiliate amount if you make a purchase paid to me by Amazon, not your purchase. I do not use any other affiliate program and make about £10/year from this program. You know why I don’t make more? Because I’m telling you right now to use this list and shop locally, preferably in non-chain stores in your area. You will make a difference to your local economy. At least you can then get the product name, manufacturer, and even ISBN to find the item locally.
Here is the list, organised by item type:
