DYMO Embossing Label Maker
They’re like $9 on Amazon and I label everything. I have 2 myself, and they’re also my go-to for white-elephant parties.
manual pull string food processor.
I love chopping up food with it. It’s very fun and works perfectly.
immersion blender honorable mention.
LED adhesive strip lighting for the back of my TV. Back lighting is super soft on the eyes and with color changing you can incorporate the color to match the mood. Playing Zelda, green. Watching sci-fi blue/purple. Halloween content, orange. Etc
Small fold up table. It’s a little bigger than a TV tray. It’s out and used almost 24/7.

I’ve been looking for a decent pair of nail clippers for ages. Just ordered, thanks!
The page says two functions, what’s the second one?
(and to all smart-asses out there: what’s the first one?)
I’m a smart-ass. It cuts nails.
Open and close? Fingernails and toenails?
I’m guessing the 2nd “function” is the lanyard hole.

Get into locksport!
Check your state/local laws before buying anything, not legal to own lockpicks everywhere.
I wish there was a place for people to send random locks they break off or find to newbies like me. Buying a lock just to pick it feels insane, but I also want to feel that delicious click out of 1
You can check local locksmiths. Some might be willing to sell cheap junk locks that are still good for picking. Or buy a core that can be repinned.

My basic bitch wireless phone charger stand. Holds it at a good angle so I can see when someone sending me a Teams message while I’m pretending to work.
I saw someone going off about how wireless charging is a stupid gimmick and liking it just means you fell for the marketing hype.
So I guess you and I are suckers. I love my INIU wireless charging stands that I bought 2 of for $30 or whatever
I honestly felt wireless charging was stupid until I finally got a phone that happened to have that capability and a cheap charger gifted to me. It’s so nice especially if you use your phone as a secondary screen. And on IOS with that new thing where it shows your calendar and the weather when “docked” on a wireless charger is just a *chefs kiss*
Car charger that does the OnePlus specific fast charge thing. Cost me $12 delivered on AliExpress. Adds about 2% per minute to my phone battery. I love it so much.
It also has a second port which does “normal” fast charge for any passengers.
Wouldn’t that wear out the battery faster?
Faster charging means more heat, which means more ware on the battery?
You think normies care?
glove lights. they are great for working in dark places where you can’t hold a flashlight.
Kuhn Rikon Swiss Peelers. They come in 3-packs for like $15. They’re sharp AF, lightweight and easy to use.
USB hand warmers. I am very sensitive to the cold and its so nice to hold while walking around or keeping in your pockets
The old Pier 1 Imports back scratchers. They use to sell for 75¢.
My dad had a bunch of these when I was a kid. Super durable and great as back scratchers or just a stick to play with. I bought a few after finding them online and love having them.
I got some that were nicely finished bamboo but they didn’t have enough of a sharp edge at the business end to really give a good scratch like the ones from my youth. Fortunately that was easily rectified with a couple seconds on a belt sander.
Ha! I have one of these sitting next to me on my desk. It’s multi-function, as it works great for reaching up and opening and closing my curtains too.
My Glucusent book light, I use it every night when I read before bed. It is the best book light I’ve ever had and I absolutely love it.

This is my go-to reading light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GG42WXY
Ooh, thanks, I’ve been wondering about getting a book light, but I haven’t used one since the '90s and they were kind of terrible then.
A nice pepper grinder! Makes every meal better
My pepper grinder was $35, got it from a woodworker at a local farmers market, definitely worth it.
Nice salt is great too!
Kosher salt ftw, I have a little dish with a lid, looks great on the counter but is also super functional
I resisted, but now I’m a believer in Maldon salt.
For salt I just grabbed a small diner style salt shaker, it’s really cute and makes it easy to control portions
Mantric Rechargeable Remote Control Knicker Vibrator I got on sale for 50% off. I’m not super into the whole public thing, but I’ve been using it way more than my magic wand, that fucking tip is shaped perfectly. Plus it would make an excellent phaser prop.
I want to see an image of this but I don’t want it in my search history
Not really what I was looking for but okay…
Thanks for the laugh both of you.
Dang it, 4 replies down and I’m horny already
Yeah, I can see that, but it’s like $70. Yes, I looked.
I can’t not see this now
