So every year my daughter in law has a "Favorite things" party. You buy a qty of 4 of the item you love and the item has to be under $7.50.

Last year I bought the measurement conversion magnet. My mom bought me one when I got married and I use it ALL the time. This year I was going to buy herb scissors (I love mine) but not everyone has a herb garden. So I went with washable scrubbers and silicone jar grabber/pot holder as my hubby isn't always home to open jars :laughing

Made me curious on what your favorite gadgets are under $7.50 this year?

I use a sharper image battery tester my dad gave me years ago more often than anything else. Very useful!

My phone of course but other than that my ancient Sena, the thing just won't die. Five plus years of daily use, the batteries still last a couple days commute, the mic stalk rotted off a long time ago but I don't like talking on the phone so no issue there.

Garage door opener on my keychain.

I got a pair and it works great with my motorcycle and my son uses it with his house keys for opening the garage inbound on his bike.

I am trying to think of anything I use regularly that cost less than $8 bucks that is not disposable and I am just striking out.

I have some Nocking Pliers I bought a few months ago for like $7. Probably those.

I bought some glass break devices for my family to put in their cars.

The kind to shatter your window in an emergency. They were less than $10 bux.. but that is not $7.50 so Rob.. feel free to scorn me. :laughing

I have given these as Christmas gifts before. The good ones usually have seat belt cutters too. They are often pretty inexpensive.
