Things That Should Exist for Single People

The back zipper thing actually exists. Or you can make your own by attaching a ribbon to a large safety pin then hooking the safety pin on the zipper and zipping right up!
Thanks for a nod to us singleton followers!
These are all great ideas! My family (parents, sibs & their spouses, & a nephew) is spread over a couple states and we utilize ongoing Amazon wish lists to keep each other updated on gift ideas for Christmas and birthdays. We even add things from other sites.
This article remind me my college days very well explained and personally like the five way that you are describe in this article.
Yes! Love all of these. We should have a day for all people to celebrate themselves, solo or not. :)
One portion lasagna pan! So you get all the crispy edges. :)
I don’t know exactly how it happened but when I bought my own appartment at the age of 27 I started receiving lots of gifts from family and friends. Not small gifts, I mean… it was like a wedding registry without the engagement part!
They all know that being married is not in my list and I have been single for a long time, so it was a celebration of a new chapter in my life.
I just loved it, and I’m really grateful to them all.
YAAAAAASSSSSSSS!!!
The back zipper applies to all people who wear things with back zippers! I hate to depend on someone else to get properly dressed (and not dislocate my shoulder while doing it) – I’m not a child, after all.
I LOVE these! Although, I must say I have assembled a ton of IKEA furniture! Birthday registry and magical back zipper pull are on my wish list for sure.
Yes! Reminds me of my favourite Sex and City episode, “A Woman’s Right to Shoes”.
As of this morning, I’m living alone for the first time ever! I’m excited, but a little sad and also have apprehensions about those things which I know will come up, like needing someone’s bigger hands to open a tricky jar…
Katie- rubber gloves! They add extra friction and make opening tough jars WAY easier :)
You can do it in your own! You just need a wider band rubber band, like the ones that come wrapped around produce/veggies from the store. Just place the rubber band around the lid you want to open and open accordinglingly. The extra friction from the rubber band makes it so much easier to open! I always keep some lying around for this sole purpose. Haha. Good luck. :)
Take the jar, tip it sideways and tap the side of the lid smartly on to a hard surface like the countertop. It loosens the seal, and jar will open easily.
The other night, my boyfriend was applying cream to a rash on my upper back (romantic, I know) and I remarked, “How do single people get these things done?” Then I realized it, sisters! I never would have been able to get my bikini top tied up every summer without the help of my sister :)
Kate, I have neither a partner nor a sister- you become exceptionally bendy when you’re forced to do these things alone (and also, become an expert at tying bows behind your back!) :)
Tie it in the front and then spin it around!
Exactly what Marissa M says. Also, spray sunscreen was a genius invention for singles who are SO not asking a stranger to get that spot on your back.
Beautiful illustration and a very good point here. :)

Hahaha I LOVE Mari Andrew and it’s always awesome to find her content here. I think the zipper pull canNOT be more accurate. Also, the day of celebrating the relationship we have with ourselves. Like, that should be a thing! Self-love Day! No?
