I got this using my VISA Rewards points. I use it for cutting down boxes and opening blister packs. It beats using a box cutter or scissors. Nice thing about it is it's rechargeable.

I bought this compressed air duster to clean my keyboards and other items where it's hard to reach to clean. It's rechargeable, has 3-speeds, 180,000 rpm, and comes with a couple of attachments.

Magic Twist Ties for tying charging cords. There are magnets at each end and the cord stretches so you can easily connect both magnets.
