Knife for Removing Greens from Strawberries

It’s essential during strawberry season when you need to quickly process several kilograms for jam or dessert. Easy to wash and doesn’t take up much space. This is a case where a small kitchen gadget actually speeds up the process rather than just collecting dust in a drawer.

How to Cut Onions Quickly and Properly
A metal gadget with stainless steel prongs — you stick the onion onto it, and it no longer slides or spins under the knife. The cuts come out even, and your fingers stay intact. It also works with other vegetables — potatoes, beets, zucchini.

This thing won’t save you from tears, but the chopping process will be faster, which means less time breathing in onion fumes. The material doesn’t rust and washes quickly under the tap or in the dishwasher. It’s a small but great addition to the kitchen arsenal, especially if you have a good, sharp knife. It’ll speed up the process and you won’t have to worry about your fingers.

These plastic zipper slider replacements in various sizes come in handy when the pull tab on a jacket, bag, or case breaks off, and you don’t want to replace the entire zipper. You just clip on a new latch and move on with your life. The size is medium and won’t look out of place on the zipper.

Made of steel, it sits tight, doesn’t wobble, and doesn’t unscrew during work. If you have an angle grinder and actually use it, this nut will pay for itself on the very first project. Plus, you won’t have to constantly think about where the wrench is — the one that’s always getting lost.

Silicone Toe for Crocs
A removable silicone attachment shaped like a human toe that inserts into the holes of Crocs. It looks exactly how it sounds — weird, bold, and maximally meme-worthy. The material is soft, realistic, doesn’t chafe, and doesn’t fall out while walking.
