No shame, I got a couple colors of those panties too e: wow that's a bad time for a new page. More ideas - aliexpress is constantly recommending me silicone teething beads; it could be a cute DIY for any new moms you know who are okay with their kids chewing on ??? - just add water dinosaur eggs - Christmas-themed nail water decals Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 07:22 on Dec 1, 2018 |

I can't see the link because the app is perma-broke for me but I bought a knock-off Fitbit from eBay a few months back, the pulse and blood pressure work and are accurate, gently caress knows how, £12. The main difference from the real deal is that it has a male USB plug hiding inside where half the strap attaches. No adapter needed.

I'm impressed with this: pulse is accurate, the app has a lot of features and it uses a cradle to charge when it needs charging every 3 weeks. Crotch Fruit posted:I think I really like this, but does it have features like a timer, stop watch, multiple alarms, or an hourly chime? Is it a touchscreen interface? It definitely has multiple alarms in the app. In theory, it will alert to push notifications from an app (if you choose), but I tried the native android app clock and it doesn't alert to alarms/timers from there (might be because that is a native app)

Is it a touchscreen interface? i lost the miniscule instruction book; afaik the app has three alarms, a sedentary reminder, but no timer or stop watch, the interface is a touch sensitive dot thing that cycles through each screen. and a shake watch to shoot a photo option that seems random. you apply settings through the app. i charge it every two days. the one posted above seems better nishi koichi fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Dec 1, 2018 |

The strap itself is only 2mm thick. I can wear it under the cuffs on a shirt without problem. The straps are a bit weedy and I've broken a couple of the little loops, but they've never fallen off. You can buy replacements in loads of colours for a couple of bucks. There are even fancy metal ones (not tried them yet)

Cool post-its Magnetic bracelet (for holding screws and stuff, also good for sewing). Not for people who work above other people's heads. Little multitools Teeny tiny screwdriver sets for repairing laptops/eyeglasses Magnets E: VVV oh great all of my ideas are possible then! If it's under $5 you can also do some pliers, those telescoping magnetic tools for picking up nails/screws that fall, those organizational pouch things and dopp kits.

I figure this is about the last guaranteed time for Christmas if you use epacket, and probably about the last decent chance if you roll the dice on free shipping. After this weekend you're probably SOL. Thanks for the ideas, Wren! Definitely bought uh...basically all of them

I don't think any of the adults I know still do stockings but I bought a whole pile of Mini Compact Kerosene Lighter Capsule Gasoline Lighter Inflated Key Chain Petrol Lighter Grinding Wheel Lighter Outdoor Tools ($2) to pass out as random gifts put like a teaspoon of lighter fluid in it and keep it on your keychain e: other possible little gifts that I, a man, would appreciate: pin vise (a tiny little hand drill) grabby tweezer thing titanium spork watchmen lego dudes or pick your favorite weird characters universal sucker lock picking training set with transparent padlock (super cool, but check the legality in your state) cut-resistant gloves (haven't tried, seems legit as HPPE is the generic name for the Dyneema fiber that these are supposed to be made of, but maybe don't get them for a professional chef or whatever) and one thing you DO NOT BUY: circular saw blades for dremel tools which are EXTRAORDINARILY DANGEROUS and i am fairly sure are in fact now illegal in north america. definitely dremel does not sell anything like this product. i bought some once years ago and nearly lopped off the end of my finger the first time i used them. if you do decide to risk your hands, maybe pick up the cut-resistant gloves too Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 07:11 on Dec 2, 2018 |

I bought all of them except the ones that seemed likely to appear in a becoming-a-supervillain montage, thanks! I didn't mean to ask for just manly man stuff, btw; the guys in my family don't really have macho interests, so everybody-type stuff is cool, and I'm also happy to get non-jewelry ideas for the women! Not a stocking stuffer but a recommendation for you guys: this food scoop thing. I've had the legit one, from Joseph Joseph, for a couple years, and it's just super handy. No idea about the quality of the aliexpress one, but the pics look like the legit version Anne Whateley fucked around with this message at 07:27 on Dec 2, 2018 |

norp posted:Somehow these glasses have overwhelmingly positive reviews.... Bit late but DO NOT buy those glasses! Look for the more expensive ones, 12-15bux. The really cheap Fauxleys have a rigid nosepiece that you are not going to enjoy. The sightly more expensive ones are completely fine for casual cycling, although they just persuaded me that i wanted a real pair in the end. Lens quality is strictly ok whereas real Oakleys have absolutely incredible lenses. The fake Oakley EVZEROs are really really good too. Closer to the real thing than the Jawbreakers.

[quote="Sagebrush" post="490347135"] I don't think any of the adults I know still do stockings but I bought a whole pile of Mini Compact Kerosene Lighter Capsule Gasoline Lighter Inflated Key Chain Petrol Lighter Grinding Wheel Lighter Outdoor Tools ($2) to pass out as random gifts put like a teaspoon of lighter fluid in it and keep it on your keychain Back when I smoked, I had a repro "trench lighter" that was fundamentally the same design, but larger.  It was a cool lighter, but like a Zippo, the lighter fluid evaporates off at a fairly high rate (especially if you keep it in your shirt pocket), and I was refilling it, due to evaporation, every couple of days.

Here's one: IMCO 6700 Stainless steel lighter Kerosene Oil Petrol gasoline Refillable lighter vintage style Windproof Can't be sure if the clones works as well, but my lighter keeps it's fuel easily for a month if you don't use it, and actually stays lit on a windy day. Does get hot as hell if you keep it lit for more than a few dozen seconds, but I think Zippo has the same feature.

But a half hour later I got another e-mailed confirming the dispute, and it looks like all I have to do now is wait. Does anyone have experience with how long it usually takes to get money back from Ali? In the meantime, I ordered the same wat from another seller for 83 cents less, bit then chose to spend $1.92 on ePacket shipping since I've been waiting long enough already.

Crotch Fruit posted:This actually doesn't look too terrible, like maybe if yiu had a way to mount the Dremel, or maybe not run it at full speed. I mean I think it's stupid, butni think it could be useful kinda like a bench top hobby table saw. If you want your Dremel to work like a circular saw, Dremel has a tool for you that is properly designed and relatively safe:  Obviously it has a guard on it, and the guard is also designed to help you keep positive pressure on the cut for better stability. Most importantly, though, the saw blades are designed to only fit the arbor inside that plastic housing. You can't pop the blade out and mount it directly on the tool as you can with those AliExpress ones, because that would be hideously unsafe. When you dig down into the world of Chinesium tools you come across these things frequently -- tools where you go "wow, that's really simple and obvious, why don't I ever see that for sale here?" and then you think about it for a few minutes, and realize that it's because you can only sell such a thing where the public/government reaction to someone being maimed by an unreasonably dangerous tool is *shrug* "should've been more careful" Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Dec 2, 2018 |

Is the WorkPro Official store on Ali the same quality of goods we get in Canada/the States? The prices look a little bit lower (not now to Canada though because of shipping, but I was wondering about when the postal service resumes).

So can anyone tell me wtf is the purpose of this thing? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TiT...2868920536.html I found it following the related stuff from the mini-tools, and it costs 62 bux! Reviews are all positive and the page does nothing to explain what it does.
