I have a pair of them too angelaid, and bought my mom a pair. Are your called Trax? You have to be careful if you walk on a tile floor with them on though. It's easy to slip.

Yaktrax. I am very, very careful on tile with them.

Yes, those are the ones. I even wear them out to get my mail.

Swiffer sweeper! I love it now that I have hardwood floors, they pick up everything the broom leaves behind! Also my steam mop!!

There was a local news story here this week. A guy fell off a bridge, spent the night on the ground with (I believe) broken back plus other things. They had to rescue him from this drop and we have had ALOT of ice. Police, rescue workers and fire fighters had a terrible time getting him with the ice. So now there is a big push for donations for Yaktrax...plus Yaktrax is donating one for every one that is bought!

I will 2nd the Swiffer...although I don't like the Swiffer wet, but that is just me.

I love my Swiffer WetJet. Use it on my kitchen floor almost every morning-it was installed four years ago, still looks brand-new.

My Haan Steamer and my Food Saver!

Hubby just informed me he couldn't go back to a bagged vacuum cleaner. He loves the bagless. Me, I love our breadmaker. I know they're not a "new" gadget, but they're relatively new to me.

How new is 'new'? I love my central vacuum cleaner. Use the microwave many times a day. Enjoy Nu-Heat under the bathroom floor. Like instant hot water at every tap(circulator pump). Front-load washer and Dishdrawers are great. Liquid soap. (I had no idea I'd spent a lifetime scrubbing away bar soap scum, not 'dirt'.) Gosh, I'm old enough to appreciate frozen vegetables.

those cleats that go on the bottom of your shoes.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I have two different pair but never wore them I didn't have them when we had our ice storm in 2000 but got them later. so far haven't had that kind of ice

I hate that they are made in China, and they aren't new...but Crocs. The only shoes I wear.

I like the new (to me) Pomegranite Lemonade by Minute Maid. I drink a ton of the stuff, mainly because I like it...not because it is good for you, which I am sure it isn't, since it is made with high fructose corn syrup.

"Kitchen Table Forum"

computers, word processors/printers (anyone old enough to remember typing term papers on a manual typewriter?)

The remote starter(& door lock/unlock) in my car.
On a cold or rainy day, it's great to start the car from inside a store, and then come out to a warm car.

I couldn't live without a computer and digital camera. Can't remember what life was like before I owned either. I think my house was cleaner..........

I think I would LOVE shamwows but our walmart doesn't have them....and never think to look elsewhere....also I want the trax for shoes...I busted it 2 times on ice in Muskogee this winter....grrrrrr....Stacy

I love my little KitchenAide food processor. It's a three cupper, and just the right size for me. I took it to the church kitchen once; a friend said she was going to hint for one for Christmas. She called and said she got one. Mine is red, and so darned cute, besides being practical.

Bare Minerals makeup and Kabuki brush.

Jodi-

Yup, LOVE those yaktrax. If you don't have any yet, make sure you get the ones with the strap for across the top of the shoe. I lost one once. Now, I tie it up with an old shoe string.
