Day 346: Simplify Gadgets

Well, my take home gift at the white elephant exchange was a large four rack sweater drying unit. You can lay four sweaters on four large screens and an end unit blows warm air on them. My husband was escorted out to our car with it, because the host knew of his propensity to hide gifts after the party.

We can take this item to heart. Do we really need any specialized gadget? Right now I dry sweaters on delicate in the dryer for 15 minutes and then lay them on towels on the ping pong table to dry. In the kitchen, knives can accomplish what other gadgets claim to do.

The point is, if you can get the job accomplished with a multi-use piece of equipment, do you need all the other specialized gadgets? Remember the quesadilla maker, the smoothie Ninja, the strawberry huller, etc? Do you use them enough to store them in between use? It's up to you!
