I went looking for some nice cable ties/earbud cord wraps and found a handful:

3pcs/lot Multifunction Magnet Earphone Cord Winder Cable Holder Organizer Clips Multi-color Cute Magnet Earphone Winder Cable


1Pcs Earphone Wire USB Cable Cord Winder Organizer Wire Cable Holder

I've just added them to my wish list for now; I won't order anything until after the holiday.

Most packages don't fit into the mailboxes, the ones here have rather thin slots to throw in the mail one way so you can't take anything out (easily) by sticking your hand inside. So I usually end up having to go to the post office to pick up everything bigger than a bunch of stickers or something like that. Just yesterday they claimed they missed me while I was exceptionally at home at around 10am and I had to go pick a usb wifi adapter the size of a flash drive because it was wrapped in some foam.

Of course, the day after I praise my postie; he does exactly that.

there a way to get that QR code to appear so I can scan it and add stuff to cart on the phone app? Sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't.

That rotating candle holder that was posted earlier is really adorable, it makes me wish I used tea lights more often. That or that someone would make a version for those huge jar candles.

No link due to phone posting, but I am impressed to report that the born pretty colour changing nail polishes really do change colour with temperature, and quite dramatically - mine goes from pale lavender to dark purple immediately upon touching cold water. Excited to see how it reacts to the outdoors!

... I've probably already given myself fingernail cancer by using this stuff, haven't I?

I don't know if it's on aliexpress, but jar candle versions do exist and you can google for them in general. They also make spinning lampshades that work the same way for electric candles or nightlights. I think it's kind of a pre-internet '90s grandma thing so there may not be a huge internet presence.

Next time I feel crafty I'll probably try making a few of my own using snips and whatever's handy, but I'll give them a look. A couple friends and family have already been interested in buying their own for them or their kids, I always assume Pinterest types would already know about these kinds of things but they love them!

Cool! I ordered some for my roommate's daughter. And also the cat's eye nail gel and magnets for her to draw in it with.

Of course, they won't be sent until after New Year vacation is over.

I took a chance on these bluetooth earphones recently and they turned out to be excellent.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076T3P91H/

I was initially worried about all the usual things to be worried about : will the sound be lovely, will the battery not last, will it always lose connection with my phone, will they be heavy and uncomfortable, etc. But they had good reviews and I decided to risk the $30 -- and they are great. The sound quality is excellent; I'm not an ~audiophile~ but I can play a few instruments and I'm picky about sound and these, while maybe not quite as good as my Grado headphones, meet all my needs for something portable. Batteries last like eight hours of continuous listening or phone usage and they recharge in an hour or less. Very comfortable to wear, and quite light and low-profile. No problems connecting with my phone. The range is about 20-25 feet line of sight and half that if there's a wall in the way, which is normal; if your phone is in your pocket there will be no problems. The single annoying thing is that when you turn them on a scratchy female voice says POWER ON but meh, I'll take that for the $170 or so I saved over the big-name models.

The only problem for you is that they are in-ear earphones, not earbuds, but I guess like, get used to that? The sound from IEMs is better and they're more comfortable too. Way of the future man

you might even be able to find the same model on AE -- look closely at the housings and guess.

e: oh and they have a neat feature where they can snap together magnetically, making a sort of necklace so that they don't get lost when they aren't in your ears. Better solution than any of the totally cord-free earbuds imo

I have these too and agree that they totally exceed expectations given the price. I'm very satisfied. POWER ON. BATTERY LOW.

If my wife's reaction to the aftermath of my shaving after a week's worth of growth is anything to go by, then this is an essential piece of kit. Unless you don't mind clogging your drain or cleaning it out by hand I guess.

The problem isn't with the drain as you can cover that with something disposable but a lot of the hair will just get onto your shirt front and the batroom floor. (Or worse, do it without wearing a shirt and you'll have prickly beard cut-offs all mixed up in your chest hair.)

Beard hair gets everywhere, no matter what you do. Ever get head/beard hair splinters in your skin? That's a thing, and it sucks.

The best part is where certain items won't let you add to a shopping cart until you pick a color ... and the only choice is random.

Just rip all your hair out with cheap wax strips. The hair sticks to the wax, so no mess in your sink. You aren't some weakling who can't rip their hair out by the root, are you?

Yeah. In Hinduism women have to shave off their hair when they're in mourning, but it's usually left to grow long all the rest of the time, so when you buy 100% real human hair from AliExpress it probably came off the head of some Indian girl whose dad just died
