#6 Shade Loving Plants
You need some plants for your new bachelor pad, and you can’t be doing with any prissy, high-maintenance plants. Take the above Sansevieria trifasciata, for example, it makes a great addition to any living space. I haven’t watered mine for over a week in a shady corner of my living room and it still looks the same. See my 10 HARD TO KILL PLANTS for inspiration. Oh and by the way; this plant does not purify your air! That is a myth that we busted here.

You don’t want to be in a position where a cabinet, or door handle or whatever is rattling around and you have no screw driver. That is not a position any bachelor should be in – you need some carefully shaped pieces of metal my dude. This tool box also comes with the prestigious Amazon’s Choice sticker, so you know the item is popular. Items like screw drivers, Stanley knife, pliers are invaluable when some tuning up your new home when necessary, or doing battle with Ikea furniture. It beats your dad’s old rusty tools he will be keen to offload onto you! (Thanks dad…).

Gorilla glue is excellent for little repair jobs – I used it recently after throwing a knife into my washing up bowl, stabbing it! You can’t go wrong with superglue, it is a perfect little gift or item to have for a new home. Errm, I can’t believe I’m writing this but don’t put it in your hair…
