Shamwows work great and save tons of money on paper towels. They're great for the car too - I keep one in the door pocket for foggy windows or spills. I hate the commercials too, but the product works and they can go in the wash.
Kangaroo Keepers are good for organizing pocketbooks but I found they started to fray after a while. They work better if you just use them to organize one pocketbook rather than do a lot of switching around. They are awesome for organizing small things like nail files, lipstick, tissues, etc.
I think plastic stuff like the egg things don't usually hold up - and I don't know if they are made of any decent plastic or something that degrades while cooking or in hot water. I worry about the chemicals.
Hardboiled eggs peel easily if you drained the cooked eggs and immediately put them in ice water (cold water with a bunch of ice cubes in there) to stop the cooking and separate the shell from the egg. Time-tested method - I don't even throw the water out, I put it in the watering can for the houseplants.
My husband likes the Ped-Egg for his feet and callouses.
