(Update 12/14) Since publishing this a couple weeks ago, we’ve noticed that most of the items on the list have been popular selections with our readers — but none as much as the Canary cardboard cutter. This thing is by far the top seller from our list. And our co-worker Jen says she likes their retractable-blade version even more.
