handy dandy
Quite pleasantly helpful
Handy dandy is a playful intensification of handy, emphasizing convenience or usefulness with a touch of whimsy: Let me grab my handy dandy notebook.
The rhyming reduplication gives it a lighthearted, almost childlike quality.
It's informal and slightly ironic—nobody uses it in serious contexts.
