Need A Handy Desk Lamp? This One Should Do The Job! It’s Inexpensive too.
Here’s a very inexpensive desk lamp with some nice features. First of all, it’s an LED bulb, so you’ll never have to replace it. Adjust the shade by a flexible steel gooseneck arm to direct the 4 watt, 260 lumens of warm, flicker-free LED light where it is needed The lamp base is recessed so there’s room for the little things you need to keep handy like paperclips, rubber bands, tacks, stamps, etc. And finally, this lamp has an AC outlet on the side! You don’t want to plug in a high power device, but it’s perfect to use to charge devices like smartphones using their own AC cord. And you can even plug in another LED lamp if you need two lamps on your desk! Turn the lamp on and off with a simple on/off rocker switch on the base. Available in black and colors and amazingly, under $7 as of 10/12/20! Walmart.

Super Useful Gadgets You May Not Know About!
When you carry this gadget with the shoulder strap, or handle people will never guess what it is!
I think is the best ‘What The Heck Gadget’ ever! It just doesn’t look like what it turns into. It’s a STOOL! Yep, a place to sit and it feels rather sturdy. The brand I bought Yin Kai Cyber Celebrity – that’s the real name, no longer shows up on Amazon, but here’s one that seems identical: Gerymu Brand says: Our collapsible stools are very compact and portable. When opened, you can adjust its height between 2.56 and 18 inches. Hand straps and shoulder straps provide two ways to carry. Our Portable telescoping stool each layer has a complete streamlined clasp provides better stability, and the anti-slip legs on the bottom are safe and reliable. About $27.00. Free Prime Shipping. From the Giz Wiz. I think this collapsible stool is great! Takes up very little space & easy to carry any place you might expect a long line. You’ll be able to sit and be comfortable. It weighs under 3 pounds. Price can change at any time. Also check the bottom of the page at that link because there are dozens of these chairs in many colors. Some seem low priced, but then they add $$ shipping.

$3 to $3.50 Handy Dandy LED Flashlight/Task Light w/ A Rechargeable Battery.
People like flashlights! Especially inexpensive ones. In the past week I bought a dozen mini-flashlights from 3 different places. They all look alike on the web, but are they all the same? After I bought 3 of them for $10.50, Beckee W. in the chatroom found them for $3 each, actually four for $11.99. Then I found 6 for $17.99, also about $3 each. I decided to buy several of each to see if they are all the same flashlight. Strangely, they look similar, but they’re all slightly different. One has a bigger LED task light, one doesn’t have a strobe (which I never use anyway) some arrive in a sturdy plastic case. Watch my video to see the variations. For the lowest price you have to buy 3, 4, or 6 of them, but I think anyone of them would make a great stocking stuffer, or mini-gift. Especially the ones that ship in individual plastic containers. The ones priced at 4 for $13.97 on Amazon came packaged altogether in a plain cardboard box and didn’t have the ‘strobe’ mode.

All 3 versions of the mini-flashlight were still available as of noon EDT 9/13/20 but that can change at any time.
