This screen magnifier makes your display two to three times bigger and can be used with pretty much any type of smartphone.
This Cutting Board Set That Gives You A Board For Everything
I tend to buy pretty much any type of kitchen gadget that I find cute or clever. This often doesn’t work out, since the product is either horrendously cheap and breaks immediately or just plain doesn’t do what it says it’s going to do.

This Fancy Whisk That Speeds Up Whipping Time
I’ll admit it: I’m not great at baking. I don’t know whether it’s my inability to mix things correctly, or cook them for the proper time, or the fact that I pretty much can never tell when my cookies are done baking (they’re either burnt or undercooked), but let’s just say that I tend to go store bought when it comes to bake sales.
