You are a genius!!!
As a former Amazon Problem Solver I can explain the package being delivered with no outside box. Some items are labeled as SIOC (ships in own container). However when I worked there I saw a teddy bear labeled as SIOC and one of the packers just slapped an address label right on the bear. 🤦🏼♀️ Sometimes the system is wrong. Haha. But also sometimes packers run out of boxes and the metrics for number of items shipped per hour is so high they'll just send it down to shipping with no box. Most of the time these are kicked out as the system knows how much the item and its packaging weighs. But if the person working kickouts overrides it then you get an item shipped without a box when it shouldn't be.
I also work at Amazon and I agree! I work in returns problem solve.. good times!
Thanks to you Amazon employees for letting us know these things.
Funny how we complain about these things. I'm usually complaining about how much cardboard Amazon wastes as opposed to reusing.
@@jessiekitty7492 I was at TPA1. I now work for an insurance company and sit at my desk at home. My feet and back thank me. And my cat is thrilled. Lol. I'm glad for the experience because that is one crazy company. Plus I met my husband there. He now has a UA-cam channel.
Once had a collectible action figure shipped this way. 🤦♀️
When production quotas are high, quality always suffers. It seems like all companies are like this. 🫤
The casters and drawer slides are brilliant! I noticed the Japanese writing on the caster packaging. I’ve found Asian countries are so innovative in small spaces. I would love to see a video just on those things! With products we have access to in America of course.
I second this! I love how Japan has a soap/sponge for the mirror where you “clean” the mirror with the soap/sponge and it won’t fog up anymore. You just splash it with water and viola un-fogged again. Trying to see yourself in the mirror after a shower in my house is impossible. Wiping the condensation doesn’t work either. I just have to either shower with the bathroom door open or wait 5 to 10 minutes after I shower for the mirror to un-fog on its own.
With all those tiny places they have to live in the city, they have to come up with clever ideas for space saving for sure. Especially in Tokyo and Hong Kong.
@@vaderladyl just what I was gonna say ! 😁

Never ever would I have thought that the wash cloths that are a staple in 99% of Swedish homes, and have been since the 50’s, weren’t a global thing. Literally had no idea they were a Swedish invention. They’re called wettexdukar (literally wettex cloths) over here because the original brand is Wettex. Paper towels aren’t nearly as common here as they seem to be in the US, and I guess that’s why. People never ever clean with single use towels. We clean with cotton/linen rags or wettexdukar!
Loved this vid! But then again, I always do 🥰
I remember my Mum used to have Wettex in our kitchen all the time and then they disappeared around the 80s and Chux took over. We live in Australia. I must get some as they were really good. I didn't know you could wash them though. That's a game changer.
@@StephBer1 They are for sure! A lot of people boil them instead, when they begin to smell, and that works just as well.
I had never heard of these, but I use way too many paper towels, so I’m going to try these. Thanks for showing them to us!!
@@FilippaSkog yes, I came to give the tip to soak in boiling water rather than throwing in the washing machine. My cloth is about 18 months old and looks to have at least another 18 months of life in it. I soak it in a bowl of boiling water plus dish soap / bleach / Oxy clean - whatever seems called for that day.
I saw these for the first time when I visited my family in Sweden and I thought they were awesome! There were so many things I encountered like this in Sweden that made me wonder why don’t we have these things in the US? For the past few years I’ve been using Norwex microfiber cloths to decrease my paper towel usage and I love them, but I think I’m going to get these too to try and get rid of paper towels all together.
I swear, I'd buy ANYthing you'd demo after you made my life better with the upside down Command hooks on the garbage can that kept the bags from falling in. That has been such a huge help. I mean it. Thanks again.
Great ideas! I bet Olive likes that specific basket because it holds the cone, so her neck isn't the only support.
That makes sense. 😉💜👍
I bet that's why she likes that basket, for the cone support. Great ideas for the mobility of bins, appliances. Thanks Kalli! 👍
You gave me a great tides for the caster wheels! I’m going to attach a bunch of them to the bottom of my kids’ Barbie dream house! That way they can easily move the dollhouse around as they play and it will be easier for me to move it out when it’s cleaning time! Love all of your suggestions! Keep them coming!
Off topic, but one way to expand on your cup idea for the kids - color code them! The kids, that is! When mine were little, each one had a color (red, blue, yellow) and were responsible for their items whether it was a towel, toothbrush, dishes, or back pack. If it was red, I knew who it belonged to. If a toothbrush was dry, I knew who needed to brush their teeth. Many kid items are packed in primary color sets, so it is easy to do this for up to 4 children. I even color coded their essential documents in poly folders. I don’t have to look at the names, but can grab the blue folder for my son's birth certificate or the red folder for my daughter's passport. Once I did this, I even bought fewer kid things.
Doggies are den animals so they like beds they can nuzzle in🥰. I have a rescue puggle which is basically pug & frenchie adjacent, he loves the Amazon boxes I set up for the cats. I'd recommend getting an Amazon box a bit bigger than the leash basket and putting some soft blankets in it (towels get compact and hard), your puppers will thank you 😊.
Missing link for cup cover!!! The cup cover? Perfect going to order now. My cat learned this week the fastest way to get attention is tip my water glass. Cats are forever 2 years old!
Yes! I've never seen a stretchy cup cover either. Anyone have the link?
Poor Olive! Wishing her a speedy and full recovery 🐶💕
Some really useful recommendations, Kallie. I put felt furniture pads on the bottom of my blender and juicer. They make it so easy to slide those appliances around on the counter. However, the caster wheels would probably be more functional on rougher surfaces, like a picnic table or a slate countertop. I've been using Swedish cleaning cloths for several years now and I MUCH prefer them to sponges. They last a long time, are easier to sanitize than a sponge and when they get really old I consign them to the garage or workshop before their final trip to the trash can.
I love Olive. I had a Boston Terrier and I miss her snoring so much! 😄 She scored so hard and loud!
I love those casters! I put them on my Cricut, printers, and computer monitors in my craft room, didn't even think about kitchen appliances! Thanks!
On another note, pup wants to be in a safe den, especially when not feeling good, so that is why the basket is more popular right now. Hope healing is fast!
Your poor puppy! Thank you for this 🙏🏻
I love Swedish cloths! I keep one with my makeup: just get it damp and mascara comes right off!
I love Swedish dish cloths - they last a long time and have replaced paper towels and sponges for me in most situations. You can also run them through the DW to clean/sanitize by hanging them over the top rack. I like the ones with the cute prints because they bring a little happy when I use them. As others have mentioned, they are also biodegradable/compostable at the end of their life cycle.
I also love them. Rather than the washing machine or dishwasher, I soak mine regularly in a bowl with boiling water and dish soap / bleach / oxy clean - whatever seems right for the day’s stains. Highly recommend.
I’d been looking at these exact basket label clips all week and couldn’t convince myself to pull the trigger, so thanks for the rec! Happy to use your affiliate link!
Brilliant!! Off to Amazon, again!!! You’ve never steered me wrong. I’m in love with your puppers!! So precious
Thanks for all the great ideas! Hope you pup makes a speedy recovery 💕
Great ideas!!! Ordering the push hooks for my home and the Swedish cloths for home and classroom. 😀
LOVE ALL THESE!! And your pup is so cute!!!
Great tips for living in a smaller home. We just downsized and this was very helpful.
Love those rails! But going to Amazon right now to order those universal caster wheels. I pull my espresso machine in and out every day and I have to pick it up because it just scoots loudly across the countertop. Great solution- thanks 😊
I have the caster wheels and love them! I put them on my laundry hampers so that I can push or pull them instead of carrying them.
Kallie have you ever used Marley’s Monsters? They’re a company that makes un-paper things, like un paper towels. They’re reusable, eco friendly and way more sustainable. I’ve been following them for a little while but haven’t yet made the plunge to try them out. It would be so cool to get a review from you!
Yes! The shoe solution!!!
The hangable labels are so great and also the cups with the colour solutions. ♥️
I love Swedish cleaning cloths! I've been using them since my son and daughter-in-law brought me one after their trip to Sweden about 12 years ago
Aw!! Olive is so adorable!
Oh my gosh...these were great suggestions!! Thank you for for bringing them to our attention! The slides to turn baskets into drawers is number 1 on my next order!! Thanks again and love to Olive as she heals nestled amongst her prized and special possessions. XXOO ❤️
These are so unique and all renter friendly too!
Love love small home hacks/organization videos
Thank you for letting us know about the Mini Self Adhesive Wheels! I NEED THEM!!!!
PLEASE ALWAYS SHARE VIDEOS LIKE THIS. ITS SOOOOO HELPFUL ❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU
Olive is so sweet! Maybe the basket is helping hold her cone up.
Some great ideas in this one, thanks! My kitchen has full size appliances and is only about 8’x8’. Thank you for the small kitchen organizing ideas. Keep ‘em coming.
I love my swedish death cleaning cloths and I've gotten WELL over 10 washes.
Awwwwww Olive!!! Yes! She feels comfortable there! Heal fast Honi! Thank you for sharing! Love these ideas!!!
You always find the best organizational stuff! Thanks!
Oh my the towel hook wow love it!
Brilliant ! Ooooh yoir pup is so sweet ! Best wishes for a speedy recovery ! Liz
Some great suggestions here. I love the vertical shoe holder and the rails for turning bins into drawers
Love these Kallie! Thanks! 😁💜
You helped me solve a need for a drawer in my kitchen with those rails and casters. Thank you.
Great gadgets! I like the towel knobs a lot. Less towel bars in the way from hips or heads bumping into them. The little rollers look great for bins but I would not use them under an appliance like a blender. I'd like to be able to hold the blender and not let it roll out from my grip as I'm dumping food into it and need to turn it on.
@Mariel yes was thinking that about the blender exactly. I would have to hold on to my vitamix when I’m running it. I’m afraid it would just go berserk on my countertop.
The magnet holder you could also use for bobby pins, hair barrettes, paperclips, jewelry, sewing needles.
Omg the vertical show holders - so simple and genius and exactly what I need. thank you for sharing! 🤗
the first and last are GENIUS! thank you!
Great hacks. I’ll definitely look into the drawer pull ones. And the caster wheels. Thank you for sharing
Love the disks for moving appliances.
i am so amazed that the reusable dish clothes are so new to americans. i grew up with them in germany over 30 years ago.
It s so weird my mum used to have them when i was a kid
We have something similar that is called Handi Wipes. I use washable cloth rags myself though.
Thanks for sharing these!
I am excited about the casters for the appliances. I am going to put them on the toaster, vacuum sealer, and electric can opener.
I have the silicone stretch over sippy lids for my kids. I like that they turn any cup into a sippy cup. And they don’t take up that much space to store. My kids are basically out of that stage now but I keep them for guests. I don’t need a drawer full of sippy cups but I still have something for guests 😊
Love it all! Thanks
I love love love your ideas!!!!
So appreciate all of your recommendations !! They are all awesome!!! 🇩🇴
Oh sweet Olive! I love her so much!
Omg those cabinet cup holders and reusable covers/straws are such a great idea :)! I ordered some, hoping it will help my 1.5 yo not to lose her cups and me to remember to always have a water cup out for her. Thanks!
Love the casters!
The slides and basket label clips are ingenious!! Thanks for sharing such cool things with us!!
So many great ideas! Thanks for sharing!
I hope she gets better! Great tips and hacks!
You had me with the first product. Making bins slide out drawers mind blown 🤯
Excellent, thank you!
loved the push hook and shoe rack idea ! thank you for sharing😍
Love all of them! Thks for sharing cute pup, maybe he likes the basket because it supports his head? Appreciate your positive thoughts, keep up the good work, and be your delightful self ✨️!!
These are great. Thank you!
Can you PLEASE show us your new kitchen and dining area remodel? I and I know other subbies would LOVE for you to show us! Thank you! Arlene
I love the slide out shelves
Great finds.🥳🤸♀️🎉
Brilliant, thank you very much!!!
Great video and tips, thank you!
I hope Olive feels better soon! ❣️
Those rails are brilliant
these are all products that I didn't know about, but now I need them!
These are great tips! Thank you so much for the work you do to make our lives easier! Sincerely grateful! 🤗
I love your channel and learn so much. That stretchy cup cover is the solution I have been looking for, for our special needs 14 year old that often spills.
Thank you! Also I love your dog. Our pug loves sleeping in a basket too, and also snores in that position, but not when she sleeps in our bed! Too cute!
I use magnetic shelf and paper towel holder on the side of the fridge. Also, for metal kitchen tools I use daily like paring knife, they also pop onto side of fridge with those little round magnets.
Thank you, excellent products
All amazing, thank you
I love the caster wheels and cup holders! Thank you for sharing! 😍
I love the drawer rails! I’ve never seen them! Thank you!
Those appliance caster wheels-genius!
Great products!! Love your dog!!!! ❤️❤️
Definitely trying these out!!
These are such great finds! Getting a few for my new apartment for sure
I love Swedish cleaning cloths, but I now only order them in grey, so they always look good. The white ones, or those with a pattern incorporating white, turn an off-white colour and look dirty no matter how thoroughly you wash them.
I have two of the pine crates from IKEA under my media console, and I got little caster wheels to put on them from Amazon. I got fixed wheels since I only wanted them to pull straight in and out of the space almost like drawers. Now I might get some of those add-on drawer rails for some of the bins in my bookcase, and the clip-on labels. Thanks for sharing these.
That sticky pull-outs are awesome! I think I might use them for my meds basket.❤️
Great ideas! Many would work in our RV!
Awwwwww, sweet Olive!! 🥰🥰🥰 I have two pugs so I totally understand the snoring! 😂
Such great finds, thanks for sharing!
I'm a housekeeper, and I can say; the sweedish cleaning rags are AMAZING!!!!
The basket seems to support doggie cone for comfort. How cute.
Thanks for sharing these great gadgets.
that cloud is too cute! also, I've seen people glue magnets to cheap plastic cups for kids and stick them in the fridge so that could be another way to do this!
Yes! I love the Swedish dish cloths, and I'll use them while cooking or doing whatever and right before I do the end of day wipe down, I microwave it for 30 seconds which sanitizes it! Zaps all the germs
I soak mine in a bowl of boiling water and dish soap / bleach / oxy clean. Works a treat.
You make me happy. That is all. 🙂❤️
Awesome idea's!
Awesome items!
