The 13 gadgets

TubShroom Revolutionary Hair Catcher and Drain Protector

Almost everyone is familiar with the awful process of de-hairing a bathtub drain, especially those with longer, more tangle-prone hair.

Bell and Howell Socket Fan Light

You’d think that there’s nothing else to do with a basic light socket on the ceiling but put in a lightbulb. Well, you’d be wrong because this combination light bulb and fan brings a little cooling power to that situation. It comes with a remote and the light and fan both have three power settings.

Finishing Touch Flawless Facial Hair Remover

Minetom Remote Wall Outlet Space Heater

Space heaters are a must as we start heading toward the colder months of the year.
