Do you want to watch programs on your laptop or tablet while using the exercise bike? You can build yourself a cardboard stand!
There are also those who have created a tray, like those for the bathtub, to be used on the treadmill.
If you want to keep a cookbook or a large manual open, you can use document clips. And they also work with small books - just put one on the spine, halfway between the two pages at the top!
The smaller ones, on the other hand, can be used as a bookmark!
Another idea to keep recipe books comfortably open, but also suspended (in order to have more space on the work surface and to keep them at the ideal height for reading), is to hang them with a clothes hanger that has clips on it (i.e. those used for skirts and trousers).
To tidy away the lighting strips, use cardboard cutouts as spools.
Do you want to always have all the remote controls you need to watch TV at hand? Join them with rubber bands - even those used to keep hair up are fine.
Using some cling film just under the cap before screwing it back onto the bottles or jars will help prevent leakage during a trip. If you do this with spice jars, it also helps preserve their aroma.
