The wonderful people at JML now have a blanket with foot pockets. It hasn't gone all the way and incorporated the slanket arms.
What's the point? Wear socks and/or tuck the blanket around your feet.
What products have you seen solving a non-existent problem. |

I love those. Stickers with ugly patterns to spruce up old tiles and plastic lawn edging.  |

Not quite the same but somebody said to me the other day that they had sent out their "save the dates" which apparently are telling you to save a particular date because that's when they're getting married. Why on earth don't they just send out invitations?  |

They should do one that makes my bin look like Dusty Bin from 321. Or a Dalek. Or R2D2. |

I love nosying through it.
I never knew I needed a plug hole unblocker with an extendable arm so I don't need to bend over or a TV tray with cup holder. One day I'm going to buy something |

You need a pouch for that, then you can keep your hands free to carry the drinks.

I got my bed breakfast tray thing from one of those. It's perfect for the laptop and there is a space for a cup.

Nope, they've booked both I'm baffled, it's like sending a warning that they're going to send an invitation.  |

Are you then allowed to be offended when you have saved the date and you don't get an invitation?

I think it's Dettol who do a 'touch less' soap dispenser to stop germs congregating on the plunger of your soap dispenser- the stuff is supposed to kill all known germs, so why would I need to avoid touching the germy plunger just before washing my hands?  |

What's that catalogue that old people love, that's full to the brim with stick-on bath handles, draught excluders and fly-zappers?
Normally comes with one of the Sunday or Saturday papers |

I have the turbie towel for my hair as it dries it quicker and easier than a bath towel which inevitably falls off  |

oh I was going to say I knew the answer, the two "save the date" I've had have been well over a year before the wedding when they've booked it so that you don't book holidays, usually you only send incorporations out about three months before I was thinking they where a good idea |

I don't get newspapers but we used to get a Kleeneze catalogue, is that what you mean?
I also read the OP as food pockets so was trying to think what kind of food you would put in them! Jaffa cakes no good, they'd just melt! |

Yes I can see the point of that but this wedding is before Christmas. I think the bride is suffering from wedding fever . |

I had large stickers about 1m square, of laurel leaves, photo images not artists impressions. We had a small plastic toolshed at the bottom of the garden surrounded on either side by laurels. Hey presto...it's camouflaged! |

My exes mum spent bloody thousands on every conceivable gizmo and gadget from these catalogues. The house was full to the brim with plastic tat. Some days it was like visiting inspector gadget |

That doesn't make sense either. How do you walk around?"
If you wear a kangaroo onesie at the same time you can hop instead of walking. |

Welcome to 2015
Where the world apparently needs a pizza scissor with inbuilt spatula
A windscreen wiper that goes on your bathroom mirror
A hammock to attach under a chair for your cat.
Who is actually buying this shit?! |

Ain't that the truth. I put a brand new and very expensive pure, white duvet cover on the bed yesterday and our black cat who hasn't slept on our bed for months immediately settled himself on it and shed a ton of hair.  |
