5 VERY CHEAP things that’ll change your life

[@uriche5]

The Spioner was one of the best things I got this year, it has helped me a lot, as has my modern wallet...

[@pondbrad47]

Hey man, which wallet did you get? Mine is already like Alderaan after the empire haha

[@uriche5]

hahah alderaan didn't turn out very well after that, great star wars movie. I got a Vionentus VN100 one of those that have an airtag slot

[@pondbrad47]

I didn't know that was possible in modern wallets! It's like when they put a tracker in the ships in Star Wars

[@uriche5]

It is possible, like in a galaxy far, far away!

[@pondbrad47]

niceee man, i'll investigate

[@pauldy]

The Duvet clips don't have to be visible if you turn it inside out when you clip it. Start with the cover inside out lay the duvet on top clip it flat to the cover then turn it right side in and the clips won't be visible but will do their job.

[@robynlydick8126]

Which is how they are designed to be used! 👍🏼

[@kmb8645]

@@pauldy this can also be done with a button and a rubber band

[@shetanchan5126]

Or normal hair ties. A more elegant version would be to sew 2 strips of fabric to the inside of the corners and tie de blanket with them (some covers already have those).

[@joycemoore6949]

I Velcro my car registration and insurance folio to the upper inside of the console, also a pack of gum, a tire gauge and a small flashlight. They never get lost! I also Velcro the kitchen TV remote to the refrigerator. There’s a lot more uses for Velcro, or hook and loop tape, especially the industrial strength adhesive-backed type.

[@Dr.Schlitz]

White block bags. You can write the description directly on the bag with a ball point pen, no labels required. Alternatively, cut the product identifying info off the packaging and put that in the bag. I prefer 4 mil bags for durability.

[@temporarythoughts]

Why aren't the duvet and its cover already designed with internal buttons or loops

[@missmayflower]

Lots of them are, or they have ties in the cover and loops on the duvet. The cheaper ones don’t have them, but I’ve always just used big safety pins.

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

Every cover I’ve ever bought has corner ties sewn inside. Maybe he hasn’t looked for them?

[@DawnDavidson]

@@temporarythoughts Some of them are. I’ve added ties to ones that don’t have them. Grosgrain ribbon works way better than satin finish. :)

[@Meskarune]

The ones at muji are.

[@yvonnezimmer7246]

For the duvet fasteners. I've been doing that with hair ties for ages.

[@darrennew8211]

I tried many tongue brushes. Orabrush actually worked. Use it to mostly-clean your tongue every day for like a week and it generally doesn't come back for a long time.

[@onemikeb]

Instead of velcro I use long strips of adhesive dual lock. It's like velcro but both sides are the same and it holds really strong.

[@DentekOralCare]

Orabrush FTW!

[@avagrego3195]

Nice - thank you. I normally put lose "found" items in a large clear pretzel barrel so they are all in one place.

[@missmayflower]

But then you forget what they are for.

[@CatyBee]

Tiny little sauce cups, the plastic disposable ones with lids have been fantastic game changers like the dime bags.

[@kellidinit3725]

My duvets covers all have ties in the corners and my insert has loops. I make loops of the ties and have mini zip ties I use to connect the comforter loops to the cover loops. They are cheap. I have used every other kind of clip in the world, and I’m very satisfied with my zip tie option. It is the only way my comforter has stayed secure inside the cover until washing. If I buy a duvet cover without ties, I sew loops in the corners.

[@360.Tapestry]

i diy most of my shoelaces with elastic paracord paired with two cord ends interlocked... game changer

[@babiixjo]

S-hooks has been game changing for me and everyone I’ve introduced them to!

[@marie-ray]

@@babiixjo how do you use them?

[@babiixjo]

@ hanging them on doorknobs, drawer handles, rails, etc. whenever there is no space to put things. Especially toiletries in bathrooms. At a hostel I’ve also used them to hang my towel to dry better and make a makeshift curtain You can hook it to the headrest in the car to hang your hat or small bag as well!

[@Rich_EDC]

That blur made it dirtier

[@Max-nt7ho]

Tooth brush can do a double-duty as a tongue brush.

[@audrablue515]

[@cider999]

Just discover Your channel recently and wow, what a revelation! Not only tons of useful information, but also beautiful visual side of it. Also, You seems to be sucha nice person, that I really want to listen what You have to say :-) Cheers from Poland!

[@sct4040]

I have those dime bags too. Ear plugs, jewelry, etc. I need those duvet clips, thanks !

[@fabianschroter9071]

What move was the most maurice? Marking the S Biner strength with a fountain pen. On metal!

[@saccerzd]

I like to wrap the corner of my duvet around my arm. The clip seems like it would solve the bunching problem, but be annoying/uncomfortable when you feel it, no?

[@AlanEoff]

Darn tough socks changed my life

[@rosalie.e.morgan]

They cost a lot more than anything in this list but I made the switch years ago and it was so nice. I no longer need to worry about picking out my good socks for days with lots of walking because none of my socks hurt my feet anymore. I got all matching black ones so I also save some time matching them after washing.

[@Spurgeon_General]

@@AlanEoff what brand do you use?

[@AlanEoff]

​@@Spurgeon_General Darn Tough is the brand. Lifetime guarantee. Merino wool. Manufactured in Vermont. My feet stay dry in the summer, warm in the winter and since they're seamless they feel luxurious.

[@auberjean6873]

​@@AlanEoffThanks so much for the details and brand. Never heard of em. Glad I have now! Not itchy, I hope? 😊

[@AlanEoff]

​@@auberjean6873 no not itchy. It's not regular wool. 81% of merino wool is gathered in Australia. Since I started wearing darn tough socks, I've also replaced my t shirts and underwear with merino wool, but Darn Tough only makes socks. It's almost impossible for merino wool to hold bad odor which can come in handy. Smartwool and unbound are just a few of the brands I wear. None of these can be called cheap but I say they're an amazing value.

[@donwin6199]

Loooooooooool ngl I prolly woulda made a gif ormeme hahah . Awesome vid n gonna pick up some of those baggies 👌🏾

[@LeonChai]

The velcro and chargers hack just saved me one fight with the wife on how messy my gear situation is 😂

[@amandak.4246]

messing with duvet covers is so annoying that i switched to quilts and comforters years ago. i refuse to deal with the hassle of a duvet cover ever again

[@brittaniemccommon2482]

Pair the tongue scraper with an antibacterial mouthwash or even a saltwater rinse if you cant handle mouthwash. Your mouth will feel better and stay cleaner longer, especially if you have anything going on with your mouth, like gingivitis. Did this for a year or two after a broken tooth extraction. I still keep doing it, just cause it turned into a habit.

[@frithkin]

In Australia duvets are called Doonas . I don't know why so those would be doona clips.

[@ChloeLewis]

Buncha little baggies -- easy to group with split rings/binder rings/etc. Maybe all the "knife parts" go together, maybe all the "backcountry parts" go together, that's a harder decision.

[@Belbecat]

I tried the blanket clip things.... they flew off on the first night idk why >< I need them to work so badly~ but great tips, definitely going to try labelling and baggies and stick on velcro!

[@cour2knee]

Your duvet cover will have ties inside that will tie onto your duvet

[@PaulaZF]

What I did was grab corner of the duvet and the cover and wrap a hair elastic tightly around that corner. Then I did it on the other three corners. It’s held for a long time.

[@cour2knee]

@@PaulaZF hopefully only for a week-ish and then it washed! ☺️

[@missmayflower]

Large safety pins. If there aren’t ties inside your cover and loops on the duvet.

[@SpectrumOfChange]

@@cour2knee do you really wash blankets every week??

[@indyschlumpf728]

Adhesive Velcro - is that what you call it? We use to ask the airline mechanics for double stick Velcro tape. Fixed so many things in the cabin with that stuff.

[@noryjohrden2845]

[@TheAntibyte]

Every blanket cover I've ever bought have little strings inside that can be tide to the loops on the blanket.

[@DawnDavidson]

You are fortunate. Absolutely none of the ones I’ve bought have had them. I’ve added them, though. :)

[@jimmeek8621]

Great ideas! Thanks. How do you cover the orabrush for travel? It’s too wide for all the travel covers for toothbrushes that I’ve seen. I’d want to cover it before tossing it in my toiletry kit.

[@catherinesmitko]

maybe cover it with one of those dime bags ✨

[@missmayflower]

Just use your toothbrush to brush your tongue. I travel light and try to not bring things that have only one purpose.

[@jimmeek8621]

I’d still like a “hard,” ventilated cover like a toothbrush cover. And I’d still like to know how Maurice travels with his.

[@TheWobblyCameraGuy]

Really polished video - lots and lots of hours put into this to make a free flowing, quick paced and detailed video - really interesting

[@cour2knee]

Duvet covers come with strings inside each corner. Your duvet has loops to tie the strings onto.

[@saraatkinson8023]

Not here in the UK.

[@rosalie.e.morgan]

Sadly many in the USA so not come with them. Sewing them in may be a good option.

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

@@rosalie.e.morgan I’m in the US and every duvet cover I’ve bought from a US retailer has ties sewn inside. The down comforters have not had loops, but they’re unnecessary. Just bunch up the corner and tie the strings tightly; they’ll be very secure!

[@rosalie.e.morgan]

@altitudeiseverything3163 I'm also in the US. It could be something that has changed since last time I had to shop for one (not exactly a frequent purchase). I certainly hope it has become standard. It's a very helpful feature.

[@sct4040]

Not necessarily.

[@Eseldasar]

Hey hey, thank you for video! Could you tell what kind a box (shelf) on 00:35?

[@eraserewrite]

Try BreathRX tongue scraper. It’s a game changer. I put them as stocking stuffers for family and friends. Also, earplanes for people who have that pressure change when a flight starts landing. Before, it felt like a screwdriver was going through my brain, and it’s the reason babies cry during the last 20 minutes of a flight. This prevents that.

@tigriss007 Great and frugal idea! Many thanks for sharing it. While I try to think of something equally Brill, I'm asking...

[@altitudeiseverything3163]

I’ve never bought a duvet cover that didn’t have TIES sewn inside each corner, to secure the comforter in place. Have you even looked for them? 🤔
