Get a grip on your nail clip. These 3” long nail clippers have finger and thumb loops built into the arms.

When you’re done clipping, they fold back down for storage, just like standard clippers do.

Ventilated and non-slip, with a removable and washable cover, it’s made to fit office chairs, auto seats and wheelchairs to ease back, hip, sciatica and tailbone pain.

Might be for your head, or feet, or arms, or wherever you leave the most greasy evidence. Compare the price to a new couch, and then buy one of these for what a single lunch would cost you.

The flat vase is 10-1/2" tall and made of thin formable plastic, flat enough to keep in a file folder, or to fold and put in your pocket when you're carrying roses somewhere. Fill it with warm water and mold it to the shape you want, empty it and fill it with cold water to hold that shape; add flowers. Ours are a lovely white and green, blue, or red floral pattern.
