On this week’s show, we compare two stack-able Storage Boxes that are miles apart in price!

On last week’s show I did a really neat folding storage bin that was $36.00 . Then I saw the KLONVS Folding Storage Bins priced at $24.99, for two!! I had to buy them to compare.

These storage are lightweight and made of somethin the company calls “eco-friendly PP+HIPS+PS that makes the storage boxes lightweight, durable, sturdy, washable, impact-resistant and easy to clean.” Okay, they are lightweight, so lightweight they feel a bit flimsy. However when you put on the locking ring, they feel much sturdier. It’s easier to show you how they look and feel out of the box, and how they look when set up. The set up takes maybe 2 to 3 minutes. Like the more expensive one, these collapsible storage bins can be stacked on top of one another. But of course, you’ll only be able to open the top cover of the top bin when stacked. Four moving wheels attached at the bottom makes them easy to move (But only in one direction as the wheels don’t rotate.) See through doors allow you to identify most items without having to open them. Two of the dimensions of the storage boxes are almost exactly the same, but these cheap ones are 2” deeper for a bit more storage. I paid $24.99 for 2 of them. I’d say they’re look and feel less sturdy than the ones I demoed on last’s week show, that a single one of those storage boxes was $36.

It’s the Glocusent Mini Willow Book Light. It features 3 Colors for better reading, and 3 color temperatures allow you to set the perfect light for your task. The company says their “1800k amber light with 99% blue light filtered promotes melatonin production while reading, so you can drift off into a peaceful & restful sleep. The 3400k reading light reduces glare for enjoyable reading with no eye strain. The unique head cap emits a softer 6000k for a more immersive night reading—a must-own book light for joyful reading in bed.” And yes, it charges via USB-C! It has an 80hr runtime on the dimmest setting and a full charge. Great for travel it weighs just 1.4oz. For podcasts I always wanted a tiny light to view notes without being seen and this is the perfect one! Depending if you’re a Prime member or night the price varies from about $8.50 to $12.00.

Need more closet space?

Then you should know about the Heyhouse Closet Organizers. This type of gadget has been around for a long time, but I never seen one built this well and this versatile. You get 6 clothes hangers that can used in a horizontal or vertical position. And 6 matching hangers for which you add by sliding it onto the hanger through a mid-point opening. Glad that put that tip in instructions, because I couldn’t figure out how to do it when I first tried. The company says they can used for hanging heavy winter coats, pants, shirts, ties, etc. while saving up to 85% of your storage space. They’re good for travel too. You’ll see how I used just one of the hangers to hang 6 shirts on the one hook I have in my Giznelyland studio. I paid $13.99 for the 6-pack. There are other buying options on that Amazon page.
