20 things I bought on Amazon you might want, too
Here are some items that I recently purchased on Amazon. I thought maybe you could use a few of the things that I purchased, too.
1. Easiest way to keep your info private
For years, I’ve been printing, signing and sending sensitive, as well as financial, documents from home. It’s just dumb to throw those papers in the trash. Sure, you can tear them up, but that’s not good enough.
More secure than the typical strip-cut shredder, this AmazonBasics cross-cut paper shredder slices through documents diagonally in both directions, turning full sheets of paper into tiny particles. It holds 15 sheets at a time which is handy and cuts up credit cards and DVDs, too. I think every home needs a good solid shredder.
2. Make a USB cable as long as you need it
The webcam that I use to do the show from home had a 3-foot short cable. The extra light’s cable was only a foot long. It was a total pain to set up. Not anymore.
You can use this AmazonBasics extension cable to extend a USB connection by more than six feet. It’s perfect for use with printers, cameras, keyboards and other USB gadgets. Love when tech works!
3. A quiet fan for your home office or bedroom
It’s summer, it’s hot and I hate the sound of a fan. The Honeywell eight-speed tower fan is fantastic. It has Quiet Set technology that allows you to control sound and cooling options, making it the perfect year-round fan for any home.
4. Easily hide those ugly cables
Cords are an ugly tech by-product. You can make them disappear like I did.
These Delamu Cable covers help conceal and organize cords in your home and office. For less than $20, you get 10 channels and 19 connectors, plus 29 screws and 20 anchors. The pack comes with adhesive tape, too, if you prefer not to put holes in your walls.
