Now and then I come across some low cost things that surprise me. One I have known about for a long time and I use it almost everyday. The first two I just recently became acquainted with: a tabletop computer fan and solar stick lights.
My MacBook is about four years old and gets hot on the bottom of the case. I put it on a straw hot pad sometimes to give it some air and cool it off. But I really wasn’t satisfied it was doing the job. We were in MicroCenter a couple of weeks ago and I picked up a ‘cooling pad’.
This little jewel has a USB connection for power and works great. $6.99
The second item we found last week at the Dollar Store. We will see how well they hold up.
Solar lights. They are very basic and I have tested them for three days. So far so good. $1 each.
And my all-time favorite: Small camera tripod.
Again I found this at MicroCenter about 4 years ago.
I usually keep the tripod on the camera and slip it into my back pocket. When I shoot a picture, the tripod make a good handle to steady the small camera.
At $1.99 the tripod makes a great gift. If someone expresses interest in it when I am taking pictures, I usually give it to them. I bought a bunch of them and love to give them away. Try me!
So there are 3 gadgets I am liking for under $11!
Thanks for joining us today on the Roadrunner Chronicles! Hope you have a great week. Until next time…
