What kind of extension cords do LV owners use?

[gettinpurseonal]

I need a new extension cord, can anybody recommend one for everyday use, that I don't need to worry about in all kinds of weather? TIA

What is your price range? If you invest in the ones with “H” or “LV” or “CC” on them, and you take good care of them, you might be able to hang on to them and resell them for a profit. The only problem is most resellers take 50%, and eBay seems to be full of scammers these days.

Does anyone have the new 2020 spring line up? I hope they finally come out with some unique ideas and not re-hash the same ol' safety yellow styles. I have outlets that look like they've been bombed by Big Bird. They were cool 40 years ago, now they just remind me of desperate old botoxed and spray tanned "IT girls" who still want to believe they're hot while drinking Bartles and Jaymes wine coolers in their poofy hairstyles and hugely shoulder padded blazers. Lordy, I hope things have changed.

Now I've heard of this new-fangled technology...what is it called??...something like "wireless"?? I dunno. Sounds sketchy to me. Give me an old fashioned electricity run appliance or tool you can use anywhere thanks to EXTENSION CORDS. I mean, when you have to dismember a body with a skill saw so it fits into a weighted box to dispose of it into the deepest part of a lake (DON'T get all judgmental on me now, I'm asking for a friend), are you really going to trust this "wireless" mumbo-jumbo to come through? Yeah, right. Now that my stock portfolio has tripled and then some, I want to operate my power tools in high designer style, like at the end of my driveway, so I can show off to all my neighbors that "I've arrived". So I NEED some designer EC's with street cred. I'll check in with LV and Gucci. If they don't come through, I'll check with Bottega Veneta. I could go for a intrecciato woven leather cord. I'll bet nobody else on my block has one.

I haven’t thought of Bartles & James since high school!

The key to disposal is contractor grade Hefty bags. So I heard.

I just found out I’m expecting and was wondering what would be the best extension cord for someone with a newborn?

Congratulations! How exciting! I suggest a mobile full of multi-colored dangling EC's suspended above the baby's crib. Your precious baby will be dazzled for hours.

You're going to be a busy mommy who needs to multi-task. I'm going to suggest something versatile like an indoor-outdoor for when you get caught out in those bad weather days. And you'll most certainly want to look for one with a power strip to give you enough energy to get through the day.

Personally I prefer the extra USB outlets so I really get all the power and protection me and the little ones need on a daily basis. It's a cold, cruel world out there and you don't want to be caught short featured on the most important thing you're carrying (baby aside).

Next, you're going to want to consider color. Are you having a boy or a girl? Or you can go with a gender-neutral white - but you don't want to worry about the dreaded color transfer. Black is a classic and will go with everything.

But ultimately, it's going to come down to the cord that makes your heart sing. You'll know it when you see it. Good luck choosing and post pics of options (maybe even a poll) if you have trouble deciding. It's never an easy decision. The baby's early years could be jeopardized if you pick the wrong cord.

No pressure!

I recommend you contact BuyBuyBaby and ask about the best-seller Extension Cords for moms with newborns. Their registry will have that info immediately available. If you're concerned about the warning posed by MooMooVT, do some tracking research on the kids that those best-selling cords went to and see how they turned out (you'll feel like a stalker but the stakes are high). Get the cord that the kids who ended up in Ivy League schools had. I'd say THAT'S your answer. Or you can just get an adorable mobile with multi-colored dangling extension cords.

Congrats!!!!!
Maybe look for the kind that emits very minimal electromagnetic radiation?
They might be hard to find, so try to keep the ECs away from you and the baby.
Some ECs are really cute and very tempting to have(especially the super expensive premium designer ones made for children) , but since these actually carry a current, one can never be too careful.
There are lots of research materials out there that say ELF electromagnetic field is especially bad for expecting moms and newborns.

I can’t agree with this more.
One can never be to careful as a mom these days. The world of full of folks who will happily tell you how you’re doing it wrong.
I would check Parents magazine for the most up to date cords and power strips.

Hi, I am just checking in with the extension cord community. I was wondering how you are handling the new situation we are all in. To not be able to browse the cord section in Home Depot or the hardware stores without masks and social distancing. What a pain. Although there are so many serious issues, my enthusiasm for cords has not wained in the least! I am very careful not to disclose this fact to anyone, which is why I have popped back in here. I knew my fellow cord enthusiasts would understand. My cord collection is frankly boring me to tears and I need a new one. We just have to hang in there and know that this too shall pass. Soon we will be able to purchase the cord of our dreams with complete freedom and joy. Wishing everyone all the best. Patience.

I know what you are talking about. Sigh. I desperately try to find a cute cord that matches my mask. But, can you imagine the side eyes I get when I talk about this with my friends?!
