List all PRODUCTS that YOU personally have had success with that you would have never thought could work. Or stuff that's relatively unknown that actually does work.
My examples are:
1. RainX - You really don't have to apply very often and it totally helps with the rain. On some of the cars I've used it on it actually eliminates the use of wipers. Also, the window washer fluid by RainX also works, although doesn't seem to be applied as evenly. Rainx works great for mirrors.
2. Chiggerx - Soothing and feels good on the skin. Doesn't have to be applied TOO much to keep those chiggers' bites from itching.

I have this plastic tweezer with rubber ends, I can grab a single coffee filter and drop it into the coffee maker filter housing in .4 seconds.

It really does "condition" and make your hair better after just a couple times using it. Well worth the money for me. |

And silicone stuff works well for handling hot pans, etc. Like this: 
Plus, they're washable. Work a lot better than cloth stuff for me and they don't get hot at all. |

WD-40, really does have a million uses.
FoodSavers really do save your food, airtight with no oxygen to spoil. Use the freezer bag variety.
