I recently had to go on a little business trip, and as I was packing, I was reminded that one of the last items I usually end up adding to my suitcase -- before smooshing it closed and zipping it up -- is either my hair dryer or my curling iron... or
both! Of course, this usually means that those two things were in use immediately before flying out the door to get from point "A" to point "B," so these items are always
HOT... which makes it a bit awkward for packing! This typically results in the frantic blowing off and waving around of said electronic heating gadget... or a quick trip to the refrigerator... or, worse yet, the hanging-out-the-window-on-the-way-to-the-airport method so it's cool enough to stuff in your bag at the last minute!
Enter the potholder.
Yes, the potholder... in just about any size, shape or color.
(*Neat freak cheat sheet alert!) This
handy, heat-handling, anti-hand-burning kitchen tool is quite useful for packing hot items in your suitcase. Like curling irons, flat irons... or a just-used hairdryer!
Simply slip the not-quite-cool-yet electronic gadget into the potholder, and then you can pack it safely and snuggly without worrying that your suitcase might burst into flames at any moment! ;)
Now, THAT's neat!

Great idea..would have never thought of that!
ReplyDeleteMan oh man what a GREAT idea! I always wrap a t-shirt around it, which never works out b/c putting a t-shirt around a hot curling iron causes SERIOUS wrinkles that just won't come out. Thanks for the great idea! That is really NEAT! :)
