A gadget that keeps my car door open while I'm loading/ unloading?

I've tried looking it up and all I get are emergency door openers, door closers, handle assists, and wires that prop the door open but block access. I'm looking for something that keeps my side car doors open without blocking entry. My parking spot is on a slight incline, and whenever I try to load laundry or groceries into the back seat, the door always closes on me. This is really starting to drive me nuts, so I'd love any solutions.

Edit: I cannot park the other way with my car facing downhill. I think the solution might be to replace the check strap on the door.

Mechanical pedometer worn on the wrist like a watch?

Something that looks like a classic timepiece with mechanical hands and no digital anything, but instead of keeping time it tracks distance walked? Ideally over very long scales, 50+ miles.

Tactile Clock?

Sometimes I wake up before my alarm, sometimes by hours, sometimes by minutes. If I keep my eyes shut I can fall back asleep easily, alas, I need to open my eyes, and often get blasted by my phone screen, to check if I should go back to sleep.

Is there a clock that I can touch to tell time roughly? Or an alarm that raises a bump after a certain time?

Shopping club matching site or app?

We love costco, but we're just 2 people. I'm wondering if there is a site or app out there that matches local families/ people with club memberships (costco, Sam's club, bj's, etc) so they can shop together or for each other and split up bulk item orders.

Is this a thing that exists?

A body pillow with voronoi lattice

I am dying from the heat this summer and even my "cooling" body pillow is getting too hot when I lay down.

I was just thinking I wanted a hollow pillow that allowed airflow, but with garbage search engines these days all the results for hollow pillow turn up hollow Knight pillows and pillows for lonely boys.

So i wanted to know if they existed, or if I should've kept my Internet-mouth shut and taken this to shark tank.

A protective top for an electric stovetop

Wondering if there’s some kind of protective and heat conductive material that you could put on top of an electric stove so you could cook on top of it, but not have to scrub and scratch your actual stove all the time. I have a traditional electric stove, not an induction

Fireproof box/bag that can hold a stuffed animal

I've had my stuffed gorilla since I was 11. I want to know if there is a fireproof bag or box that could fit him. It's 14 inches long, 10 inches wide and when I fold in the legs it's around 7 inches high.

Shop JUST the store

Ok so this is something that drives me nuts, and I feel like everyone else must know something I don’t.
When you’re shopping an app and something goes out of stock online, is there any way to just shop the store? I’ll give a specific example; I was at Belk today and saw an item on sale I wanted, but needed a size large which they did not have. Went home and looked online (I had previously added the size large item to my cart) and the size in my cart said “sold out”. Went to the item itself and the ITEM says sold out. But I just saw there were multiple mediums at the physical store, yet there is no ability to add that size to my cart for an online pickup order; the item is just sold out and that’s the end of that. I’ve had similar things happen when app shopping Ulta and other stores. What am I doing wrong, or is this just a limitation of online shopping (I.e., the status is controlled by the online stock, not store stock)?

Rubberised coating for Metal Ferrule

Hi, I use a walking stick and recently bought a new one. I am used to a rubber ferrule, but this has a metal one (it is an older wooden stick).

To get more grip, is there a rubbery coating i can add to the bottom, without massively widening the base?
