11 In One Credit Card Tool
Perhaps he’ll pull this card out of his wallet to breaking the window of a sinking car. Or, maybe he’ll save the day with a bottle opener. Everyone has a different definition of “emergency”.

Perfect Ice Cube Tray
When we finally got an ice maker in our freezer, I thought our days of filling ice cube trays would be over.
Then my husband found these silicone trays that make the most perfect ice cubes in all the land. They pop out of the tray in perfect squares, take a long time to melt in your cocktail or soda, and look cool in your glass.
Back to arguing about who forgot to refill the trays.

Candela
I know you’ve seen these babies everywhere, but a friend of mine mentioned that they’re terrific for homes with kiddos. All the romance of candlelight, none of the open flame. Good point. They turn on when you lift them from the charging base, and last for about for five hours. They also turn on instantly during a power failure.
If you prefer the look of votives, they make those too.

Cupcake Courier
Each year, twice a year, I take cupcakes to my kids’ school to celebrate their birthdays. Each year, twice a year, I also try not to swear as I transport cupcakes in an old gift box, and end up covered in frosting.
So you can obtain a cupcake carrier, or you can cringe through a chorus of, “Mommy! You’re not supposed to use that word!” Your choice.
