My tiny skillet designed for a single egg and my small silicone spatula. It's also just big enough for a slice of Spam.

A metal 2mm mechanical pencil set. I use it for woodworking and absolutely love it.

[–] TheMauveAvenger@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Biggest thing for woodworking for me was just buying more pencils. I bought a pack of 30 or so and put all of them in a cup attached to the wall. Now I just grab a new one if I forget where I put it down.

Two items I can think of: a bluetooth/wifi controlled multicolored lightbulb and reusable K-cups

Rather than setting up strips of lighting along my ceiling in my apartment, just changing out the bulb in my lamp is a really simple way to have full customization of a room's lighting. Nowadays, I find myself just lying in bed, changing the color and brightness of the bulb on my phone as I listen to music, changing it to whatever feels the best. Even for regular use, changing how bright or soft the white light is can be useful.

As for the K-cups, it makes for a really easy method of making coffee at the office. Due to a long commute, I have to wake up earlier than I would like to arrive at the office on time, and it generally leaves me little time to prepare coffee at home. During the summer I usually prepare cold brew the night before, though in fall and winter, I prefer warm coffee and I find it easiest to grind whole beans myself, prepare a K-cup the night before, and then brew once I arrive. Simple and clean with very little hassle.

Carabiners. I bought a bunch for accessory and gear hauling when climbing long routes/distances. They've since been used for a lot more. I find endless use for them and usually have one clipped on a belt eyelet.
