Cleaning out a family members home, I found this incredible 1988 Reader’s Digest guide to EVERYTHING.
Household Hints and Handy Tips is an OG Google.
From how to bake a pie to the exact measurements of standard wood sizes, this book is the perfect throw back house warming gift. A true conversation starter and actually usual.
When I found it I thumbed through it over and over and shared it with all of you on Instagram. It was HOT in my DMs so I found it on eBay. The good news? The copies are under $5 bucks and there are a ton of them. Thank you world wide web.
There is a 1997 version and a 1988 version. I have the 1988 and I find the information universal and helpful. And in true Reader’s Digest fashion, nothing is over whelming about it.
I wanted to share a few example pages from Household Hints & Handy Tips by Reader’s Digest
Here are some quality tidbits below.
