Here’s my package opening load out.

First is this safety cutter thing. Open boxes with reckless abandon. No exposed blades to cut you or the poo poo inside the box. Also good for envelops and getting through cardboard backing.


A Cricut weeder tool. Handy for getting shrink wrap off a thing without damaging the thing. Also handy for prying poo poo out of jenga box packaging.


I don’t know what these are. I otherwise call them my zip tie cutters. These are the least awkward way of getting through plastic packaging I’ve got. I’m sure there’s better though.

Wha. Just buy a Swiss army knife and put that stuff in a drawer.

I store that stuff in a drawer even without owning a Swiss Army knife!

extremely pro tip:

when you start out with either sewing or embroidery, start out in a woven rather than knit fabric. knit fabrics (think a stretchy t shirt type of fabric) are easier to damage the structure and most importantly they are usually stretchy. stretch is the enemy of consistent and straight needlework, at least until you start to get some practice under your fingers

Very pro tip right here. “Oh a T-shirt sounds easy to make I’ll start with that.”

Leatherworking has lots of fun tools.

Went through entirely too many pricking irons before I stumbled on the crimson hides.



They make nice holes.

I bought a handful of these 1 ft power cables and they have been shockingly useful. I could stumble upon the most gnarly wall wart and not even flinch these days. Weird plug that tries to get out of the way by blocking all adjacent outlets? The power cord bin can fix this problem.

"tiny...short...extension cords?"

"wait"

"holy poo poo these RULE thank you!"

Oh that’s a pro tier gift.

Also recently bought a few of these:


Haven’t had them too long but they’ve come in super handy while I’ve been futzing with my turntable poo poo. I just hate power strips.

Not desperately. More out of laziness.
