How do you use washi tape for gift wrapping? Every washi tape I've ever purchased has the weakest adhesive in existence

The heck do you use for wrapping paper - cardboard? There isn't a whole lot of force involved so a weak adhesive will do just fine.

Anyway I just use it instead of ribbon, like so:

I close the package with plain tape if necessary, the washi is for decorating the package and greeting card.

Also you can find faux lace ribbon washi tape too.

Seriously, I can't see how this is much different than the literal dog leashes for toddlers people already use today. The worst part about those things is people use them to let a toddler run wild 30 feet away, at the end of a rope, in Target. Sure, let your child drag a rope across the store shelves and around corners, taking poo poo off the shelf, while you stare at Facebook in the middle of the aisle. No, I'm not bitter, why do you ask?

I have a bunch of different polishing wheels and some grinding burrs that are decent enough. Polishing wheels wear out fast anyway, might as well get some cheap ones.

Sadly nothing cause the apartment is empty still. I have to pay rent for the old place till March. Couldn't break the lease in time for the new place.

Potentially? A Flashlight with different colored lenses. USB rechargable batteries and a fun LED aerator for the faucet that changes color on temperature

Just got a big ersatz Lego set I ordered on Dec. 27 2020. Not bad. Original delivery estimate was for February.
It's a gift, so I'll have to ask the recipient how good the actual bricks were, but from previous experience, they've been comparable to actual genuine Lego.

It was this monster:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32986028690.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7d174c4dG0vfmr


It's a copy of an actual Lego set, except that the original is only 5 floors, which is neat. The recipient, my cousin, is both a LEgo and a comic book fan, so this was ideal. And it was like the one Marvel set he hadn't already bought.

I ordered a couple other small sets for myself, from a different store that have yet to arrive.

This makes me wonder if there's ever been a thing as conductive Lego similar to Capsela but Legos. That seems like it'd be a fun toy that you could learn PCB prototyping at a really simple level.

When I was a child, my parents had 4 children under the age of 5. Dad used a legit dogsled harness to wrangle us in public, which worked just fine but horrified the occasional onlooker.

It’s fine for a non-professional line. I’ve picked up a couple of the gimmicky products to try at work and they’ve worked fine. I havent tried their stamping plates though so I’m not so sure about that. I’d say it’s fine for using at home.
