I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn't work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.

Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!

It went from stupid purchase to something I'd gladly replace if it broke.

I wanted to buy a small silicone spatula for specific uses, but they were only sold in a set of 5. I was like what am I going to do with that many spatulas but they're super useful and are amazing at scraping and I love having extras so I don't have to constantly wash them.

How did people make scrambled eggs before these things existed?

Probably started off trying to make an omlette but instead had to make the best of a bad situation.

And then they had to scrub the pot clean of all the remaining dried in egg. The rubber things get everything when you're dishing out.

Using a metal spatula in a cast-iron pan, I suppose.

Besides, what better way to say 'I love you' than with the gift of a spatula.
