If someone doesn't have the ability to use a spoon, they aren't going to be able to assemble a gadget with a bunch of small fiddly parts. If they actually wanted to make something useful for ppl with disabilities, they would make it in one solid piece that could be placed over the mug.

The ONE amazon must have I ever bought, was a mini battery powered milk frother. I've never frothed milk with it. I'm disabled and it saves me the effort of stirring, whisking, mixing, and many things. It's the simplest design, you stick a battery in and press a button, there's only 1 part, a metal whisk that sticks into the plastic motor part. Got it 4 years ago. Got a resuable USB chargeable AA battery for it. Except I didn't buy it on Amazon. I searched it's name on ebay and got it for £2 second hand :D remember, people get sick of these "must haves" quickly so if you really want one.. there are so many of them 2nd hand

The "temu trend" here of buying as much crap as possible has been annoying me so bad. I even got mostly temu crap as christmas gifts... stuff that I can't seem to find any way to repurpose and know if I donate it its just going to sit there till its landfilled.... My best choice is oft regifting to children who will get a kick out of it a bit longer than anyone else.... It doesnt seem to matter if I say don't get me gifts, or that kind of gifts. For a few years I said "return this" in spite of that making me feel like an asshole.... I can't say that anymore because they respond "its temu I can't" or "its not worth returning" if its not worth returning, why oh why did you buy it? as a *gift* I got a lot of plastic trash to figure out what I'm meant to do with it.

I kinda have a scrunchie tower but I made mine. I got an old bear statue that has been my family for a long time. Put the bear on a base, then i put all my scrunchies on the bear. The bear looks like its wearing a scrunchie tutu. Highly recommend

I have a laundry turtle. It's one of those tools for disabled people that is marketed as a convince item. It's almost impossible for me to get the laundry of my top-stacked dryer without it. I used to use a grabber on a stick and this is so much easier.

Here's an idea. Can you do an Amazon Must-Haves Sustainability addition? Basically, just the "sustainable" or "zero-waste" items people think are "must-haves" from Amazon. I know I have personally fallen into that trap a few times, and it would be nice to receive a reminder or wake-up call for some of the stupid stuff. LOL 😅

I can't get over the hair donut tower, like can't you get the same end result with a thrifted paper towel holder?

Funny story abt containers. My sister wont use solid bar stuff, so when she asked for new shampoo and conditioner I got her one with big pump containers. Why? Well bigger is less packaging but the real reason was so I could refill them with solid concentrate (you mix with water to make the soap). Luckier, the ink came off easily so they're just big white bottles I relabled. Its stupid to just buy containers, I use bar products, but I managed to get my sister on something a bit more sustainable by doing this. Which is nice.

If you want to lift up the toiletseat and don't touch it with you're hands ,use a piece of toiletpaper .

I get really bored really quickly with the stuff in my house, but i don't want to buy everything new every time, so I bought paint and just renovate them :D it's also very relaxing.

Why would I want a shiny see-through plastic cutting board when I can get a wooden board as well? Every plastic cutting board that I have seen being used, sooner or later got super ugly scratch marks and you better don't ask what sits inside of them. When my wooden board is too scratched I will have my friend sand it, then wax it … and it will be as good as new. And when it gets too thin, it will go into the next campfire I am invited to. By the way: wood is (as far as I know) much more "anti-bacterial" than plastic. Even if you can't put it into the dishwasher. And I will not sleep in a giant (poly-dont't-ask-which-plastic) dog bed, thank you very much! Not even my cat would!

Listen, that dog bed is the best piece of furniture I've bought in a long time...i dont have room for a couch in my office and this is so convenient for snuggling with my dog while watching a movie. And it easily fits in the closet when i need the space.

That laundry turtle doesn't look like it would work with a full load of laundry, so what's the point 😩

I don't understand the point of a scrunchie tower. I think it would actually be rather annoying to use. What if the scrunchie you want to wear is at the bottom? You'd have to take all the other ones off to get to it. Or what if you're trying to rotate through them? Then you're having to take all of them off in order to put the one you just wore at the bottom, or you're just leaving the worn ones in a pile next to the tower, to be put back on when you reach the bottom. I think a lot of people would probably just end up wearing one or two favorites all the time, that they keep at the top, and the rest would just be taking up space. It doesn't make any sense. And the toilet seat handle is also completely pointless. Anything that is stuck or glued onto a toilet seat will very quickly become just as dirty as the toilet seat itself. More dirty actually because dirt and bacteria can now collect in the crevices on and around it, and on the adhesive used to stick in place. If you're that obsessed with germs, just clean your toilet regularly.

The toilet seat handle isn't about sanitation, it's about mobility and accessibility, it's just that products made for disabled people need to be marketed at a wider audience to be financially viable The laundry turtle too

I've recently read 'The Day the World Stops Shopping' and it was very insightful. I'm already a quite mindful (un)consumer but it made me think even more before buying anything other than food and necessary tools. (Can't use the word 'essentials' anymore after the influencers' inflation.) Great video, Gitte-Mary, keep calling out the bs. Also, #BoycottAmazon, people!

An additional alternative or two to that laundry turtle is to simply use a sheet (toss it in, roll the dryer drum, gather and remove all the laundry) or a towel (same process). It's not that complicated. 😼 Additionally, while there is no shame in having a few scrunchies around, I definitely feel a scrunchie tower is a bit much....😹

Totally agree, none of these are "must haves" and wtf with that turtle thing lol

I have a scruncietower! It’s a old long candlestick holder. I like it 😊

Seeing a shein/ temu ad below your videos almost every single time 😭 how insane is that

I have a "scrunchie tower". It's a paper towel holder that was left behind by the person renting our appartment. There was two and we don't use paper towel. The massive pillow sofa thing looks very cosy, not gonna lie. I'd never get one tho. It would be on the way, it's probably more expensive than a sofa and wont even replace it

I have a "scrunchy tower" (didn't know it was a thing) because idk how else to store them. I just thrifted a vase made for 1 flower like a very thin vase. Cost probably 5 kroner

Omg Gitte. I just came home furious from my local grocery store because they expanded their meat and soda sections but simultaneously stopped carrying tofu or vegan cheeses. And then this video popped up! This was exactly the rant that I needed. Thank you.

I just use a carabiner clip to hold all my scrunchies! A lot of people already have them and then you can access the one you want easily.

When I see products like these, I ask myself 'does this solve a problem that I have already recognised as needing solving in my life?' Because sometimes yes, you have had a problem and buying this would help! However, often the 'problem' is something I had never noticed or thought about until I saw the product to solve it, so clearly it hadn't affected my life and I dont need to buy it!

The ad in the middle of this video is about Amazon special offers ... 😂 Seriously? Very appropriate match!

I was doing so well with not owning kitchen appliances, but both flatmates I’ve had came with a whole collection of random kitchen stuff. It’s the only reason I miss living alone 😆

What an insane collection of garbage!

Must haves: food Shelter Safety and security Love Family Friends And Gittemary to keep us informed and highly entertained 😂😂😂 I love your rants, i agree with you, these are not needs and for me not wants, they would bring zero benefit to my life.

I lost it at the toilet seat thing :D

I do have clear shampoo/conditioner bottles (without labels) but that is because I purchased them at a refill shop (that I take them back to for refills). It almost mimics that aesthetic without the actual eco part of refilling from a large tub rather than just decanting. I will give it a bit of credit that it is easy to see how much product is left so I can plan a trip back over there when it gets low.

A self stirring mug ?? Wtf is that about ? Are people really that lazy and gullible ? You are always a pleasure to watch and I've taken your advice many times. Keep doing what you do and the world will be a better place 💜

The laundry turtle... Just was a towel, like a bindle! I've been doing this to collect all the dirty towels in the kitchen, at work, for years.

I bought a fabulous body pillow lately after horrific injuries.Its the best thing ever.Tho I think this fit healthy young lady would slag it off😂

At first, I thought the only (very small) redeeming quality about the self-stirring mug was that you wouldn't dirty and need to wash a spoon. I quickly realized that now you will need to wash the lid, plus all the tiny nooks and crannies within the device. What a flawed product! It makes no sense to me at all.

I actually have a glass bottle for my shampoo and shower gel because I bought a huge bottle that is pretty heavy and not nice to use. Got in on a local market though, not Amazon :) and yes, I don't understand why some people fill it with stuff from same-sized bottles. The same goes for these kitchen glasses and containers, where you still have to keep the original packaging because it won't fit the whole thing.

I remember buying a so called storage solution for clothes drawers after seeing it on KZfaq. I felt very foolish when i tried to use it and the size wasn't compatible with my drawers. Then I realised i could have made something using crochet that would have been customised. This reminded me i need to ignore some of what i see online and use my own brain instead. Love your content.

If you are using hair spray or dry shampoo, you can use it as scrunchie holder. We used to do this all the time when I was a child. Saves space as well.

Those bottles for the shower...and those glass? Because that's crazy! I have dropped shampoo bottles so many times in my life, I can't imagine the damage I would do if I dropped/knocked over a glass bottle in the shower!

I actually really like that turtle thing. It replaces the basket and stores in a much smaller space. Ofc if you already have a working basket use it, but if you don't have one it might be worth it 🤷‍♀️

The only products I seek out on Amazon are from small sellers that don't have their own website. In the past five years, I've bought 2 products, both reusable conversions for appliances I own that had disposable parts.

She's fired up today and I'm loving every minute

I'm not surprised by any of these tbh, I see so much weird ass crap when I'm doing research for my design projects. But one thing that really got me was the latte art thingy, WHY is it battery driven?? You could just make something that essentially a pipette to suck up some dark coffee with and then a narrower nozzle to stick it into. Then you'd get a nicer, smoother result squeezing the bulb. Plus it'd be less resource intensive and, if care was taken when picking the materials, it'd be easier to recycle at least.

I need more voices like yours in my life - thank you

perhaps every member of the family gets his or hers own handle for the toilet seat 🤣 I hope there are different colors, otherwise they confuse their handles 😬😂🙄

i saw ads for the human dog bed when it first came out, and thought who would buy this? what kind of idea is this? but wow, how the business took off.

I have shampoo and conditioner pumps that are original packaging because it works. I can see a use for the toothpaste one for people with hand mobility issues, but I can also see a right mess of it due to kids. An amazon “must-have” I can get behind is the PantryChic if you spend a lot of time in the kitchen.

I have a human sized dog bed. It's called "my own bed" and it is about the size of a king sized bed (because it is one). Fits me and all he puppers, very comfy, 10/10.

that human dog bed does look comfy but realistically how often would you use this though? it looks like one of these kiddy swimming pools but made with soft materials. i have a body pillow, if you like the feeling of snuggling up against something i highly recommend them. they help me with disabilities and pain but they are so cosy as well to snuggle with. with a nice blanket on top and you are done. no need to a buy a whole asss dog bed for yourself that's- really something else. that scrunchie tower thing looks like a toilet paper holder lol

I was listening to this video while doing laundry and at first I was like “I LOVE my scrunchy tower” but when I saw which one you meant, I was like “oh yeah that’s silly”. The one I use is the kind that you can pull out scrunchies from the side. I absolutely love this video and I so agree!

I feel like a lot of 'Amazon Must Haves' are specifically wild so that people click on them. Then, they may forget (particularly on web) they've accessed Amazon through the affiliate link and then go on to buy things. The creator then still receives commission because it was bought through their link. (Unless Amazon have changed the policy, because I know that's how it used to work)

I'm totally with you on this topic.... Great job going through all of these things.

I'm sorry but I love the human dog bed and I think the washing mashine turtle is more handy than a mostly very big basket 😮 But you also could use a bag or a silicon basket as well. 🤔 But the dog bed...it looks sooo cosy and it's much more moveable than a heavy couch! 😊

When I was a kid growing up nobody had matching furniture. Our families bought or were gifted long lasting , well made furniture. Often it was bought from 2nd hand shops. I remember all glass bottles were returnable to the shops for a deposit (like pfand in Germany) and its a more recent phenomenon that everything is in single use plastic.

Love this video! Informative and hilarious!

I was shopping (in a store) for plain metal measuring spoons for a gift and saw those self-leveling things. My brain exploded and I’m still searching for the pieces. Who doesn’t just use a butter knife? Or shake the spoon gently so the excess falls off?

I do like the human dog bed because my couch is harder than a board. My mother-in-law gave this to us because our cats don't scratch it. Haven't you heard of, "being in the dog house". When you have a fight with your husband. And you have to sleep on the couch if you don't have an extra bed in the house.

I bought the soap dispenser so that way I could buy the big refill bottle of soap to save money, and not have a branded bottle sitting out on my counter.

with it being spring and summer coming up where i live i would really love if you talked about what you do for sun protection, sunscreen, sunburn treatment (like aloe) etc and how we can make that sustainable! my initial idea is to grow my own aloe plants but then maybe you could discuss how many plants you would rly need to have enough aloe without having to buy any and not kill the plant!!!

I've not bought any of these products but for a while I was keeping my scrunchies on a thrifted jewellery stand and it was SO annoying if I wanted to use any of the scrunchies that weren't at the end of the hanger... How do you get the bottom ones off of that display unit without having to take them all off!?

great video and laughed all the way through it 😂😊❤

I wrote a long comment following along and then the ads at the end deleted it so summary😅. A lot of these products are of no use to me personally. The scrunchie tower along with most ways to visually store them looks worst than my current method (which is also not perfect and v chaotic). I think the human pet bed is at least an improvement to the previously air up ones because they WILL pop. I'd rather just get my guests a fold up mattress. The bathroom aesthetic is so funny because I'm NOT the target audience. It's gotta be more useful than my second hand, upcycled take out container for my bar soaps, nothing's beat it so far 😂. A bath towel does the same thing as the turtle. With a low dryer I liked to use my long skirt since it was already there.

Haha i have a "scrunchie tower" I agree that its ugly Its a bunch of toilet paper tubes set into eachother with my scrunchiea around it... guess what you cant see what it is bc of the scrunchies.... I still prefer, any old box. Got a cute box from the thrift store, which shall replace Le Tower Of Scrunchies (tower is inconvenient to get the one you want from it?

So disappointed you can't swear in this one!! It was one of the things I loved about part 1

Once more, the indulgence of sloth .

A self stirring mug, what the heck!!! Love this video.

Oh my gawd your comment about peeing on the antigerm handle is so chaotically hilarious, instant new follower!!!

Please do more of these videos!

That toilet handle is absolutely creating little uncleanable areas where the germs will build up too

In my kitchen I decant into glass jars from charity shops. I also every so often decant in the bathroom, because I want a pump or because its prettier or more luxe: I use previously emptied bottles. It would be clueless financially and counter-productive to buy amazon crap for this purpose. My washing up liquid is in a blue glass neals yard pump bottle. Despite being glass and falling into my enamel sink every so often it never threatens to break

Before I started watching, my immediate first thought was 'probably going to be helpful things for disabled people that are going to be looked at as wasteful and useless'. But I'm horrified by the actual products in this video. These are actually useless and cost more work than doing it the normal way? The only thing that might be helpful would be the toilet lid thingy, though I'm already assuming it's barely going to stick and is thus useless again :/ I'm very intrigued by your videos and I'll definitely give you a follow!

The toiletseat handle doesn't make sense at all since the germs that spread while flushing also will land on the handle... Sometimes I don't understand how people even can invent things like that since it would never come to my mind😅

Okay. Have to add another point here because while most of what you're saying makes sense and is very critical and useful, as someone with OCD, the idea that i might have to touch a toilet seat, especially in a house I share with family is puke inducing to me. And sure I can use a resuable napkin instead of this product till I get over my discomfort but this product can help. And while the latte pen is certainly very resource intensive, if it adds joy and value to someone's life during tough times, I think it could be worthwhile to look into more sustainable ways to make it. Like maybe a reusable latte design sheet?

Perfect Scrunchie Tower--one of the many old reusable water bottles you doubtless have around your house . . .or even can pick up second-hand if you don't.

Gittemary! Don't kink shame the dog bed okay 😂

Lol my partner has OCD and I hope he never sees this toillet thing. He would love it. He has a special pusher for the parkint lots-so he doesn't have to touch any buttons.

I love you. This is everything

I have no idea how you managed to keep it so together in the video 😅 Just look at how little was in the machine for the guy to be able to use that laundry turtle, he has to add less laundry to the machine just so he can fit that ridiculous object inside, so that’s even more energy wasted as he could have fitted more clothes into one wash without it…

The idea that i had to store all of these products give me the creeps. Non of these are essential. Not one single thing

I used a scrunchie tower once.... I used a sweetie tube from Christmas (I think it was a Galaxy Minstrels one!) i could even keep my hair clips in it as well! I think inused it for about 5 years! Lolz!

These videos make me laugh so hard!! ❤

Okay the toilet handle on the bottom is actually kind of great. Sometimes there's splash back and so the bottom of the seat is nasty, I'd rather not touch that. I still wouldn't buy it but I see the use

The human dog bed really put me over the edge, it makes me ask WHY!!!❤

I must be living under a rock, as the only one of these products I've ever seen is the human dog bed. What a joke! Why I ask myself?

The self-stirring mug isn’t even convenient because afterward you have to clean all that crap! I’ll stick to my spoon thanks

What do you think people do in an ideal society? What do they sell on Amazon?

Would you mind do video about not aesthetc but practical things in your life? 😁

One of the most useless thing i've saw was mouthwash dispossal and it had these wax cups that you can find at the dentist.

Half of these products just make me think: cleaning that is going to be soooo much headache Selfsturing cup, The toothpaste dispenser is gonna get disgusting after 1 week. And also I use my foot to lift toilet seats 😅 also work on my balance which is healthy

appreciate u so much. thank u

Frist thought about the "laundry turtle": why should someone use it, it holds just 3 pieces of the laundry?! (washing machine / dryer is not even half full)

A scrunchie tower, what the heck hahahaha

Tbf i kind of want the human dog bed hahahah especially with being over stimulated 😂😂😂 dont come for me

Self leveling spoon? Two words - Rube Goldberg

Amazed that these things even exist, like whaaat?! The laundry bag thingy?! I just have a big bag for life and it all goes in there! I also feel like the supposed convinience we're told we 'need' takes us further and further away from small, simple joys - like making a cup of coffee and, ya know, stirring it. By myself. I have 2 teaspoons and one has a little heart on the handle and I love that teaspoon, I make my hot drinks with that teaspoon! Would love a part 3 video!

You know who would buy the toilet seat handle? It will be the person with the over bleached bathroom.

Wow I didn’t know how much time I was wasting stirring my coffee

I need more Amazon must NOT have. I almost always fall for the hype. Also, do Shein and Temu must not have. I think the stuff is crap mostly but have found a single earbud at a great price. I'm not sure how long they really hold up because my dog has destroyed 4 out of 5 that I have purchased

I think many things can be knick-knacks or straight up life savers for some people with disabilities or sensory issues and stuff, but 1. they shouldn't be flimsy, 2. they shouldn't be seen as must-haves. Is an orthopedic bust a must-have? Hell no! Same with these.

would love a video about the obsession w sterile environments!!
