We have a catalogue shop here called Lakeland which specialises in all kinds of gadgets and things for the home. Some useful, some not. So to celebrate their 50th Birthday we will take a looks at some of the not so useful items available which you can't help but purchase in a moment of madness and which sits collecting dust somewhere in a drawer.
The Nana bag because they are ugly fruit?????
The sock pairer, never be without your foot partners again!
The sleeve protector as it beats rolling them up!
Another essential number for those who bite their nails the orange peeler!
The Dryer Ball and no pals they are not a toy but they sure look like one!
A strawberry huller because knives are dangerous!

A yolk hero and the yolks on you if you have one of these!

A potato ricer as you are too posh for mash!
Arm buddy as your gloves are lonely?
Stainless steel soap as real soap is not good enough?
Happy Birthday dear Lakeland we do love the way you help us clutter our homes. Do you have any useless gadgets lying around that seemed like a good idea at the time?
Have a terrific tasty Tuesday all.
Hehehe!! Mum loves Lakeland cos she loves useless gadgets!! There is a whole drawerful somewhere. Never seen stainless steel soap though !!!! :)
ReplyDeleteHa sounds like some real clutter! Interesting place it seems.
ReplyDeleteMom has a ton of useless gadget she won at tupperware parties years ago. They all had a purpose and were handy but now she has forgotten the purpose of most of them.
ReplyDeleteHugs madi your bfff
Mommy loves Lakeland. Hope you had a super weekend xxoxxxx

teeeeheee...I love that first photo of you Miz Molly, and yes, my HUSBAND loves to buy gadgets and we have many "tea toys" that I never use. They are simply useless! HAPPY TUESDAY!
ReplyDeleteWe must admit the junk draw has a few in their. They all seem like such good ideas at the time:)
ReplyDeleteCrikey ..... Mum killed herself laughing about the potato ricer ... she didn't know they existed. She wants one real BAD!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think the sock monster won't like that sock pairer gadget. How is the sock monster supposed to steal socks in the laundry.
ReplyDeletei love to watch QVC and HSN just to see what people are snapping up like crazy, these are all useless to me and i know people are buying them..thanks for the smiles
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Molly. Those are some interesting gadgets.
ReplyDeleteOh you don't even want to know about the special device for pricking a hole in the end of eggs before putting them on to boil...
ReplyDeleteLots of useless junk around my house! My job now is to keep Mom away from InterNUT shopping! They'll sell you anything (and everything).
ReplyDeleteLOL, that's a pretty weird collection of gadgets.
ReplyDeleteI think I may have tried one or two of those gadgets. :)
ReplyDeleteOMP (oh my pig!) Mommy absolutely LOVES gadgets. She is in pig heaven right now looking at these. Thanks my friend. Have a terrific Tuesday! XOXO - Bacon
ReplyDeleteOMPug our mom has bought a few of those things...how embarrassing....hers loves looking at that catalog....
ReplyDeletestella rose
that yolk thing made me nauseous! eek!
ReplyDeleteBoy Molly...I bet Easy's mum has some rippers from her Trashure shop bwahaahha and I agree with the random Tupperware party crap..i have an avocado saver that looks like a sandle...I use it but of course the thing still goes brown....we don't have a Lakeland but the local version of the crappola shop here I call UCRAMITIN....I don't know how they fit the crap in...but they do....and I love it bwhahah hugs fozziemum xxx
ReplyDeleteunfortunately we seem to love useless gadgets here MOL!
ReplyDeletewe have such an orange peeler too, but we haven't used it by now. the most useless thing my mom bought is a bird what you can use as a key pendant. that birdthingy came with a house what you can hang on the wall to place the bird with the keys in it to have the keys at hand. but the joke is, that you can't remove the bird from the house when you placed it inside. what shall I say... we have a hole in the wall and a bird including a birdhouse and the screw hang on our car key now. and all that fun for 50 cents, cool, huh?
ReplyDeleteWell, those are some....ahem...interesting items. I am wondering how the yolk hero works? Does it suck up the yolk and just leave you with the whites? So odd...
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, Molly.

Stainless steel soap? Now we've heard of everything!
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Mitch and Molly
Those catalogs are always fun to look at
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Gosh some pretty silly gadgets there BOL Xxx
ReplyDeleteI can't seem to resist those useless gadgets. I have a ton of them. I do, however, proudly use them!
ReplyDelete..."the yolks on you". Ha roowooroo! Good one, Molly!
ReplyDeleteI wonder who buys those things?
Cammie!
And you get a whole catalogue of this great stuff?? Delivered right to your doorstep? I love pondering over useless gadgets :-D Happy Tuesday Molly
ReplyDeleteHahahaha!! We just love the Arm Buddy!! Mama has a whole drawer full of these type of thingies....
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
We have a halogen cooker - it was fine till it needed washing up and now it just sits on the side :-(
ReplyDeleteWe have a few catelogues like that. I wonder if they come with a spare room to store all the stuff?
ReplyDeleteOh, and forget that egg separator, just use one of those little squeezable juice bottles..works a treat.
XXXOOO Bella & Roxy
How fun! Love the orange peeler!
ReplyDeleteThat is some krazy krap! Our mom is a minimalist so all that stuff gives here the heebie-jebbies!
ReplyDeleteYour Friends, Kiki and Nala
That sock pairer do look smart to mom, but I wonder how the socks will be eaten by the washing machine then :-) Sniff from Laika and Vaks.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Molly,
ReplyDeletewe really have one stainless steel soap at home and it works so good, Mom wouldn't live without it anymore!
Love
Arno
I chewed up a dryer ball once. You mean it's not a squeaky toy?
ReplyDeletehahaha!!! That's hilarious!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteღ husky hugz ღ frum our pack at Love is being owned by a husky!
Hi there, I have never heard of this company before but now will go find them. These are some neat items you've shared here. Hope you are having a great day; our weather has changed-it clouded up and now we have a downpour and lots of thunder.
ReplyDeleteWags,
Noreen & Hunter
That is funny. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are the kinds of things they sell on TV here late at night. My dad's mom gave a lot of this stuff to mom, she's not impressed! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteMom says she has actually had a few of those useless gadgets:) But the stainless steel bar of soap is actually a keeper here. It is wonderful for removing the smell of stinky onions from the human paws after peeling and slicing onions -Mom says it works great!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Woos - Phantom, Ciara, and Lightning
Don't let my mom see the sock gadget or I'll never have a solo sock to play with again.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
What a great bunch of useless items. Our mama like to look at catalogs like that but she never buys. She says all the cats toys provide enough clutter (yes, we take that as an insult). MOL!
ReplyDeleteKitty Kisses,
Cindi Lou & The Kitty Krew
I had no idea they were 50 years old. Some of their stuff does make you say "why?"!
ReplyDeleteWe get that catalog and Mom does order stuff now and then.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I have more than my fair share of stuff that I thought I couldn't live without, and then never used. bol
ReplyDeleteKnives are dangerous as evidenced by how often our humans go to the emergency room. They have one of those strawberry huller thingies. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
