For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

Portable Bluetooth label maker. Not a necessity, but you can use it outside of typical application for lots of fun things!

Somebody park like an asshole? Leave a fun message for them!

Got something you want to personalize? Custom stickers of whatever you want!

Wanna leave memes around in public for people to find? You already have templates saved!

Want to advertise yourself or someone/something else? Boom, instant QR codes.

I've been having fun with the mini I originally got for work, about to buy one that prints larger labels.

Any particular model you can recommend?

I started with a Nelko one for $20-ish, but they have a free/paid system where you don't get all the stickers/fonts unless you pay a yearly fee. Next one I'm looking at is this one that specifically advertises no mtx.

Ultimately the main thing you want is a laser printer with thermal paper. Won't print in color, but it's much less hassle without ink carts and the only thing you'll need to replace is sticker rolls.

Thanks for sharing. That is pretty neat!

Dont quote me on this but I remember reading that thermal paper is carcinogenic. So maybe look into that before you get some.

Only if you actually burn it. Like with a fire.
