Generic 100-piece Embroidery Thread Cards

These bobbins are a great tool to keep my fairy floss thread, small ribbons and lace pieces all organised and easily stored. They save space in the containers I keep my ribbons and threads, and these don't get entangled with others. The plastic is decent quality. I wish the cards were a bit larger, like taller and wider, but they are great for my organisation and storage needs.

Akulife 2-Piece Silicone Air Fryer Liners

These liners are well priced and good quality. I have a 3-litre fryer and these are a little bit larger for that size (see my photos), but they fit well as they're flexible. They heat up considerably, so be careful when getting them out of the fryer basket if still hot. They retain a lot of oil that doesn't go into the fryer, preventing bad odours and the metal becoming sticky as well. They wash well by hand with dishwashing liquid; however, even if I wash them well, once dry, there is a sort of white residue on the reticulated maze base that I have to remove manually with a towel. I have used my fryer without the liners, and now with them, and I think they improve the cleanliness, odour and life of my fryer.

Update 4/10/24
I use this almost every day. They get greasy and over time they get stained with the grease and this does not go no matter how much I rub them. They are clean but look super dirty because of the grease stains.  For the rest, they save my fryer from the grease and are indispensable.

Aokbean Mixed L 30 Skeleton Antique Bronze Keys

This is a set of decorative keys that can be used in different craft projects and gift packaging. Unlike other craft keys I've bought in the past, these are really good quality, look like real keys, are heavy and they their size is real-size, so not tiny or adaptations for crafts. I wish they came with the locks as I would use them at home if that was the case. Beautiful and good quality. Great value for money.

MH MOIHSING 6 Pack Adjustable Elastic Waist Extenders

These extenders are made of elastic materials so they extend beyond their visual length. This pack is excellent, as it has a variety of colours to suit most of skirts and pants colours I own. They attach well and don't fall off. They disguise well. If it wasn't because of these, I would have to have my clothing waist adjusted, so these save me time and money. Great value for money. The only downside is that I'd like the width be larger and the elastic material to be a bit less flexible as, otherwise, they tend to deform with use.

Jacquard Lumiere Halo Blue Gold Acrylic Paint 70Ml

Jacquard Lumiere is an awesome line of metallic paints and this colour is beautiful and interesting to work with. I love the fact that, unlike other metallic acrylic paints, this line offers a good coverage and the quality of the pigment is amazing. This colour is beautiful, but the colour you see from the bottle and what you get when you paint with the product are slightly different. I purchased this colour for the blueish golden green nature of it, which is what the bottle looks like from outside in real life. However, the paint is a multi-chrome with all the pros and cons you get from those colours. On the up side, it can be layered on many colours and looks different depending on the light angle, so it's versatile and interesting. However, this is more a green than a blue, and the yellow gold sometimes overwhelms the other pigments. For me, it's great when I want to jazz up some painting area, but not that good if I want a set colour to use. Good quality product overall.
