Bobby pins. Anyone who uses them will know they disappear daily and turn up again almost as regularly in the oddest places.
If your other half is tired of finding them in the carpet, behind the radiator, in the dishwasher and lurking in the shower tray, try these smart tips for keeping them all in one place:
1. Instead of flinging them into your handbag to vanish forever, store your bobby pins in an empty Tic-Tacs container.
2. Buy a cheap magnetic pin cushion online. These little babies keep kirby grips in check like nobody’s business.
3. Fix a strip of magnet inside your dressing table drawer. Your pins will always be where you need them.
