Sometimes it is almost impossible to stop the inner shopaholic who wakes up every time we find ourselves in a store. We begin to buy things advertised on TV, as well as products that should greatly simplify life. Alas, sometimes these expenses are absolutely not justified.
1. Drink jugs
In jugs, it makes sense in the summer, when various soft drinks such as lemonades, compotes, ice tea become incredibly popular. It is convenient to put chopped fruits in a jug, pour them with syrup and water, cool them in refrigerators, and then pour the drink into glasses when necessary. However, in the rest of the year, such dishes do not justify themselves. It hardly makes sense to pour juice from a store-bought bag into a jug. You're just messing up the dishes.
2. Irrigator
The device is intended for oral hygiene. The mechanism of action is that due to the pulsation of water, the gums are massaged, as well as the removal of plaque that accumulates in the interdental spaces. Opinions about the benefits and effectiveness of irrigators are quite contradictory. Experts are unanimous on only one point: the device will be a good addition to oral care for people with special needs. For example, it is useful for owners of implants, prostheses, braces, as well as those people who have certain diseases. In other cases, the irrigator is rather a pleasant addition, rather than an urgent need. Moreover, many people are very disappointed in it, since the wow effect does not occur and the device does not live up to its expectations.
3. Cat bed
Everyone knows that cats walk on their own and do what they want. Their behavior and habits are impossible to predict, so every purchase of some product in a pet store is a big lottery. The bed is no exception. Most cats ignore it and bypass it, preferring to sleep on the floor, sofa or bed with the owner. And some pets are even more frustrating - between a cute bed and a cardboard box left over from a vacuum cleaner, they choose the latter.
Therefore, before buying such products, try to test the cat for love for such beds - take some low box, cover it with something soft and put it in the place where he likes to sleep pet. If the cat appreciates your efforts, you can take a chance and bring home a couch.
4. Mini Humidifier
Such devices are usually bought for the workplace. People think that if you put the device on the table next to the computer, it will humidify the air in this particular area and improve well-being. Alas, it is not. The effectiveness of mini humidifiers is highly questionable. Users note that if the volume of devices from this category is less than four liters, then they do not raise the percentage of humidity in the room when measured with a hygrometer. So think twice before you go to the store. Believe me, it’s better to overpay a little and buy a full-fledged humidifier than to be disappointed and send its mini version to the far shelf of the closet.
5. Toilet fresheners
Yes, they give a pleasant aroma, but they are absolutely useless in the fight against germs. It will be much better and more efficient to regularly clean the toilet, and not only with the use of household chemicals, but also with the help of a brush. There is one more nuance: the foam that is formed from the air freshener sometimes does not allow you to notice plaque, rust and other contaminants in time. And if you do not fix the air freshener on the toilet well enough or it is made of poor quality plastic, then there is a risk that it will create a blockage in the toilet bowl, which will be difficult to clean.
6. Horizontal paddle stand
Here you need to focus on your habits and needs. Some housewives prefer to put a dirty spoon on a plate or saucer, others choose coasters of different shapes, colors and sizes. However, in both the first and second cases, the storage is predominantly horizontal, which provokes two problems at once. Firstly, it is not always convenient to take a spoon from a “lying” position, and secondly, a horizontal stand takes up a lot of space on the work surface, which is always lacking in a small kitchen.
What is the way out of this situation? Opt for a vertical stand. In this case, the spoon always rises above the table, it is convenient to take it and then put it back. Being in a vertical position, the spoon always remains clean, and the liquid after mixing the food flows down without spilling out of the stand. Another plus is compactness. The standard diameter of the stand is 8.5 centimeters, so it will take up a minimum of space on the table, which, however, will not affect its spaciousness and functionality in any way.
7. beauty gadgets
Marketers and manufacturers of beauty gadgets know what to put pressure on. No wonder girls can rarely contain themselves when they see the next novelty in the store. But even here you need to critically evaluate your needs and desires, take into account the type of skin and other nuances. For example, if you are not ready to use an ultrasonic facial cleansing brush every day, but an anti-cellulite the massager causes discomfort, there will be no benefit from these gadgets - they will simply replenish the home flea market.
8. Smart floor scales
If you adhere to proper nutrition, lead a healthy lifestyle, play sports and track with interest information about health on a smartphone or smart watch, scales can really become a worthy addition to your collection gadgets. Also, the device can be evaluated by athletes who need to control weight, percentage of fat, muscles and other body parameters. In all other cases, the scales will most likely become another useless purchase, especially if you are too lazy to connect them to your phone, download a special application, and so on.

9. Decorative pillows
We buy them after we see enough pictures in interior blogs. We agree, compositions of pillows, knitted blankets, beautiful bedding look attractive. On the photo. But in real life, such a solution may not be practical. Just imagine that every day you have to shift the pillows back and forth: before going to bed - remove from the bed, in the morning - put on the bed, and also to make it look beautiful.
If you like decorative pillows, buy a few for your sofa - it usually looks nice and stylish. Just do not fill the entire surface of upholstered furniture with them - pillows should not interfere when you or your guests want to comfortably sit on the sofa.
10. Hair stylers
And again, we say a big thank you to Instagram, Pinterest and the Internet in general, because it is there that we see incredibly beautiful hairstyles and styling that we definitely want to repeat in real life. Hollywood curls, careless beach waves, “sea” curls, etc. However, it is worth remembering that such styling is very difficult to do on your own. If you don’t know how and are not going to spend time on learning, watching video tutorials, and you plan to use the curling iron only on holidays, then there will be no point in buying a styler.
