(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.

Mike suggests:

Make: magazine subscription

12V impact driver

Single-use superglue

Hot glue pen

Laminator

Insta360 One-R 360 camera

Ikea/Sonos Symfonisk speaker (and once you have it, hack it!)

Caleb’s gifts:
