WINE SKINS
Posted by Mini, Owner onI love a simple product that solves a problem and is reasonably priced. As you can see, I bought 5 bottles of wine while I was away, and had to cram them into my carry-on (which I ultimately needed to check. Another first world problem).

USE DUCT TAPE FOR FOOD STORAGE LABELS
Posted by Mini, Founder onAs far as keeping track of all those leftovers, there a lot of fancy labels out there, but I love using a piece of duct tape and a sharpie. It sticks and stays stuck, even in the freezer, and in my experience, it easily peels off without sticky residue to clean up.
