Behold the Handy Stitch! <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6rrbqw" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/6rrbqw</a> Yeah, that's right! One and a half stars! LOL. I've had it for at least 4 years and I've never even taken it out of the box. I try to be clutter free but I just can't get rid of this thing. I know I'll use it SOMEday.... So what do you have?

And one of those hot cocoa machines.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling I'll trade ya my Handy Stitch for your Mickey popcorn popper! On second thought.... naaah. I could never get rid of my Handy Stitch! LOL. Maybe this thread will motivate us to either use or get rid of these things. On second thought.....naaah. I could never get rid of my Handy Stitch!

And yes, these are going on eBay soon!

Originally Posted By RockyMtnMinnie I have tons of kitchen things.

I have a big box of table cloths that have never been used. A dremmel pumpkin carving kit. I have a lot of DVD's that are still in their wrappers. I guess I'll watch them someday.

Originally Posted By TXDISNEYNERD Hey I have one of those handy stitch things too. I actually took it out and TRIED to use it once, but it has been sitting on the same shelf now unmoved for over a year.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros I have a mini crock pot for making dip that I got for Christmas a couple years ago. It looks handy, but I have never really gotten around to opening it up.

A bunch of them are too small now, or are really old and I don't want them to fall apart in the washing machine, but at the same time I don't want to get rid of them since they're really neat. So, instead I have several drawers full of shirts I never wear.
