  50 PROBLEM SOLVERS UNDER $50

  I love to bake, but I do tend to use every bowl, spoon and measuring device in the kitchen. These adjustable measuring spoons come highly recommended by Maggi, a loyal reader.

• Bra Baby

  

  50 PROBLEM SOLVERS UNDER $50

  I never thought I’d be listing a Sky Mall product, but I got an email from Marielle Vena who says:

  “I wore a 36C in the eighth grade and know a little something about bras – mostly that I hate ‘delicates day.’ I have been a slave to hand-washing my unmentionables ever since I discovered that those care tags mean business and ignoring their warnings was going to leave me destitute. I still have to hand wash a few things, but as far as most underwire bras are concerned, this product has been the biggest time-saver in my life. I love it! Try the two-pack and I swear you will have six or eight in no time.”

• One-Handed Pepper Mill

  

  This is the sproingiest little pepper mill on the market. I own one, and it always gets comments from guests.

  You hold it in the palm of your hand and use your thumb to press the button on top. This means that you can grind fresh pepper with one hand and wield a spatula with the other. Plus it has a little window that lets you know when you’re running out of pepper. Genius!

• Perfect Ice Cube Tray

  

  PERFECT GIFTS FOR ENTERTAINERS

  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.
