I need some holiday gift ideas (that I will probably gift to myself as well)!

    Rechargeable batteries. They have paid for themselves many times over by now. Less guilt about throwing away dead ones, too.

      This, entirely. I remember back 10, 15 years ago, rechargeable batteries were trash. Gave them a second shot recently, and I’m genuinely surprised. They’re as good, possibly even better than, non-rechargeables

        The set I have (Duracell) is at least 10 years old - the charger has “copyright 2009” on it fwiw. Not sure they hold a charge for quite as long as originally, but they work for what I need (TV remote, RGB lighting remote, beard trimmer). I can only imagine how much better they have gotten!
