Looking for recs

[rugbywife]

Post things you are looking for recommendations on here!!

I don't even know what to call this...the word is escapes me... Machine, battery operated, I think, takes little balls off of clothing/ upholstery? Does any have one they like?

[everafter07]

I got one of those at BBB that has held up really well. I think it was about $10. I call it a fuzz eater.
ETA It's called a depiller.

fabric shaver

Favorite Halloween treats other than candy? I'm coming up short when I try to avoid the really junky stuff. Is there anything that will work for a big age range? We don't get many ToTers, but they range in age from 3 to 14, and I'd love for this not to get complicated.

Lint or fabric shaver. Have used this one for years and love it. www.amazon.com/Remington-Battery-Operated-Fabric-Shaver/dp/B0034BV6KA

We used to like it when the dentist down the street gave us Garbage Pail Kid cards. But, uh, that was the 80s.

Nursing tanks that I can wear a bra under, don't show a ton of cleavage (I have huge boobs) & would work well under cardigans ?

Last year I put some snack bags of Annie's cheddar bunnies and Grahams etc (from Costco) in my bowl with candy and they went really fast, even with the older kids.

I'd love a rec for a kid sized table and chair set.

I think this was a CloudBee rec from years ago.

Maybe some pogs too? Those were my favorite in the 90s

I really love the Ikea one for $24.99. 


www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50178411/


My parents bought a very nice one she'll grow into around age 4, I'm guessing, but the Ikea one is working great for now.  She is tall for her age and has been able to get on the chairs independently for a couple weeks.  She's beginning to eat at her table now, rather than in her high chair.

I like the Sundvik at IKEA.

Good idea!

Be careful with the mechanical ones -- I have shaved right through enough shirts before that I refuse to use an electric defuzzer. But I'm accident prone.

I am looking for hotel recs in Boston. Walking distance to stuff that tourists want to do and eat, rooms that aren't painfully small, less than $250 a night. List so far is The Liberty, Nine Zero, and Fairmont Copley Plaza. I know zero about Boston so please let me know if I am going about this all wrong, and either way I'd love additional suggestions.

I wear Merona brand tank tops from target over my nursing bra and under my regular shirt so I can do the one up/one down thing for NIP. The straps are adjustable, and if you make them short they dont show much cleavage. I'm a 32G and they keep me well covered.

How much do you want to spend? DS1 still loves the IKEA plastic table and stool I bought him 3 years ago. I just need to get more stools since the one we have has a leg that keeps falling off. But he loves it. lol.

My mom is buying it as a Christmas gift. She's going to the States to shop on BF and hoping to get one on sale there. Probably $100ish?

The $25 dollar table/chair set from Ikea is great! We have it and I painted it thanks to Pinterest.

[maxdyn]

I'd like recs for a car seat safe outfit for an almost 2 year old for a very very cold climatr. Last yeat he wore one of those one piece fleeces.

I need full size sheets if anyone can recommend some. (Especially if I can get them at Bed, Bath, & Beyond!)

I suggest threshold organic sheets of you're willing to go to or order from target.

Mini notebooks, either spiral or like the mini bound ones.  You can get them at the dollar store with 4 or 5 to a pack.  Even I like them.  I keep one in my purse.  The kids have loved them, since they were small and my oldest still loves them at 9.

Old Navy Tami tanks. Awesome, nice and long. I mean, they're casual, but they're nursing tanks, so... Lol. Or the Oh Baby nursing tanks from Kohls.  Sorry my c&p isn't working or I'd give a link!

My SIL is starting her first big girl job in marketing in Boston and needs a business casual capse wardrobe. Preferably all affordable stuff.

She asked me to help but I have no idea what is appropriate.

[imojoebunny]

Could someone find me some cute and comfortable flats. I messed up my ankle back in June, and cannot wear my Dansko type clogs anymore on uneven sidewalks. I walk a lot, and need something that doesn't look horrible with a dress. Doesn't have to be super stylish, I live in the land of REI formal wear, but tennis shoes won't cut it. Bonus points, if they won't smell after 3 wears.

Boston seems to trend more on the casual side of business casual.

I see a lot of girls in skinny ankle pants, blouses, cardigans.  Or dresses/skirts with tights and boots.
