Bottled Water Heater

Ever been cold? Sure you have, but sometimes blankets and jackets just don't cut it. That is why I present to you a cheap spin on a classic: The Bottled Water Heater!



Heating pads are not a new idea; however, they retail for $15-$25. What is new is the price. How does FREE sound? Well I think it sounds like pretty good deal!

Just take a used water bottle, fill it with water, microwave it ~3 min, and BAM!
Instant handy heater to-go!

Put it in your jacket, in your pocket, in your bed, where ever you're cold!
Best of all, it's FREE!

I recommend that weaker bottles such as Nestle water bottles NOT be used because the caps tend to leak. Instead, use a more robust bottle such as Power-aid.

Paperclip Zipper Pull

Ever had the tab on your zipper break off? It's a pain to try zipping that zipper ever again! Well, what if you could restore your zipper to its former zipping glory for free? Now you can, and here's how.



1. thread a paperclip through the zipperhead's loop where the previous zipper-pull was

If the paperclip tends to slip out, you can clamp the loop shut using some pliers.
Another desireable alternative to the ubiquitous paperclip is the durable key ring.

Enjoy zipping your zipper with your zippy new zipper-pull!
