Bluetooth Tracker

You know the feeling when you leave your keys or wallet at work or at home. My huband does that a lot. One way to change that is by noticing your actions better – but that’s hard to achieve in today’s world. Other way is by putting a tracker that is connected to your phone (which surprisingly is only thing that he doesn’t forget) and starts to beep or do some other thing to make you notice that you forgot something.

Package: Gray plastic bag. Original packaging box

Item: White small square shaped tracker. Has button with a light on top. Had a battery. Also included a strip to attach it to something and a double sided sticker to stick it to something. Had a small instructions book. You need an app for it to work. I can beep itself and it can give a notification to a phone when the distance is too big. My husband tried and used it for some time. Eventually he dropped this idea because it drains phones battery as it has to be always on. Also peering was a bit difficult.

Ebay vs. Reality 

Ebay +1 design is nice. +1 it gives everything you need (well for the price it should). Reality +1 not as useful, +1 drains phones battery, +1 white is bad color for a thing that is attached to commonly used things and its a bit big.

 

LG Pocket Printer

We copied this idea form a friend we usually travel with. We love sending postcards to loved ones and this is a great way to improve that – with this you can stick your photo from the place you send postcard on the postcard. It makes a great memory.

Item: small white printer with 3 packs of papers to go in it. The quality of printed photos depends on the photo itself mostly and on bluetooth strength. But its good. As this is special technique you don’t need any ink, which is great and we travel with it all the time. Problem is that sticky papers  are expensive, we got only non-sticky ones with the printer, so I ordered sticky ones later on.

Ebay vs. Reality 

Reality gets +1 for shipping charges, because I had to pay extra around $80 for customs chargers. Everything else is great with it. Well maybe a price of zink stickers might be an issue here as well, but I will probably write about that in other posts.

Mini SD reader for Android Phones

I already discussed this issue before – our GoPro doesn’t have screen and to check photos in the spot is kinda hard via wifi (drains phone battery like crazy) so readers that can be attached to phone and just read mini sd card are handy.

Color: white
Paypal name: HUANGYANLAN

Delivered: Feb 19, 2016
Package: White plastic bag with bubble wrap inside

Item: Plastic really small reader with cover that you can flip up. It has a plug you can put into the socket for headphones. Though we didn’t do that I appreciate the option – it might be really handy. But I would doubt the durability of the item for keeping it with the phone at all times like in a pocket and so on. Yet we tried it and its really useful – you just “plug and play”.

Update: we bought it ages ago, now the port for Samsung phones has changed. But it worked really well with Samsung Edge which used old type USB.

Ebay vs. Reality 

Ebay +1 for the plug, +1 for the design – it has a cover and is really small, fit to wallet, +1 +1 for doing what its meant for and +1 for no additional apps needed to read. Reality +1 old fashioned now.

Hangers Hanger

I bought this as an organizer for my dryer. I hang some clothes on hangers to dry and  then hang them on my dryer, this should help to keep hangers from sticking to one another.

Delivered: Nov 15, 2016
Package: white plastic bag. Transparent plastic wrapping.

Item: a plastic strip with holes to put hangers. Two holes to put hooks to hang it on something.  Sometimes its hard to stick the hooks in those small holes, but a bit of strength fixes this. I use two all the time, and I didn’t expect that I will get this many, it came as a surprise, as I expected one for this price.

Ebay vs. Reality 

Everything’s just fine – I use it all the time, its useful for its purpose, I got more than expected, it works great and it came on time.

Small Hangers

For some time I had an idea of dedicating one shelf of our closed (in my husband’s side of course) to hand my bras as in a shop – on hangers. They take a lot of space in my undies drawer and I don’t like to squish them as they deform. I also had an extra slideble hangers holder for closet which was just perfect for this purpose.

Package: Yellow paper envelope with bubble wrap inside. Invoice was included.

Item: the quality was acceptable though the clips that should hold things looked like they are going to break.  But of this day they are fine so I guess its just the look. So now I have a nice slide in hanger holder.

Ebay vs. Reality 

Apart from the quality all other is fine.
