I have a "poison ring" and apparently those were used for some sinful substances in the 70s, and my grandmother, when she saw my cool new opening ring, had to ruin my innocence with "why do you have a drvg ring??"

I have a matching poison ring with my Mom. She had angina and would keep medication in hers to put under her tongue. I had severe chronic pain for 18 years and kept half of a quick acting opiate (prescription, y’all) in mine, which was also subbucal. Sometimes I’d be in a college class and in so much pain I thought I was going to puke or pass out. That medication helped me get through until I got home and could use heat or rest or whatever. Luckily I’m totally off opiates now, but back then it was really very helpful and I didn’t have to always carry a purse to have “rescue” meds on hand.

Now that my mother has passed, I have both rings. I intend to pass mine on to my daughter, if I ever get blessed with one. After a good cleaning, that is! 😅

The hair "rat" is really cool! The handlettes were also cool to put Vaseline on your hands at night.

My mom has a really old Chinese poison ring, it’s gold a peacock carved into jade

It used to hold perfume is what my mom told me, it can’t stay close anymore and she was selling it a garage sale but I kept it

Vintage Avon "Poison Rings" are filled with perfume balm. 🥰. I have one from the 70s. It's divine. Hopefully you come across one on your shopping hauls.❤.

Why don’t we have those gloves for stockings anymore??? I’ve lost so many pairs of tights😭

[Broccolily]

I have to wear compression stocking for lipodema - and the hot tip from my specialist drs was to use gardening gloves with the rubber grip to put them on. It really helps!

My mother-in-law actually had that hair roll. I have no idea where she got it from, but the hair style actually suited her.

[teddiiursula]

Love the hair roll, it's like a bump-it!❤

[ferallyn]

Poison rings 😍

The accessory every woman needs just like hat pins

[mads]

We should definitely bring back handlets. For special occasions I always seem to either rip my stocking or put a hole in them 😅

[justalex]

I really like how they made so many useful accessories back then. Like these, or the multi-functional makeup compacts

[lollollolskeet]

I need the handlet gloves because I wear pantyhose everyday

[missmokkori]

Ngl the handlets would be sooo useful today ! I wish I could find them but I guess I’ll make custom ones based on the original ones 😅
