My kitchen aid is about 20 years old and I recently had it a minor repair on it. I don’t know what I would do if I had to replace it because the newer ones sent o be of lower quality. But vintage kitchenaid is good. My moms is from the 1960s.

I actually like them. They’re cotton so they don’t last as long as wool, but I find cotton more comfortable. My kid has some really corrosive foot sweat and she used to destroy regular cotton socks in like 2 months and bombas last much longer for her than any other cotton sock. bombas is also very good about replacing them if you ask.

Actually they’re not! Got my hands on a donated pair because my hometown school (high poverty area) is one of the places they give away socks. They’re regular bomba socks.

I have had a pair of tweezerman tweezers for 20 years however my favorite long lasting nail clippers are Ulta store brand

I just want to say that from talking to small businesses a lot of them do turn to selling via marketplace (Etsy, Amazon, eBay, etc) because the time and cost of maintaining an online storefront and processing their own payments and doing their own sales tax is a lot for very small businesses. Marketplaces offer them big exposure and handle all that for them so they can focus on the thing they make. A lot of very small retailers won’t sell via a website they maintain.
