Like every year I am absolutely clueless what to gift my loved ones (and of course always too late getting/creating them).

Thats why I'm asking you guys, for inspiration - what, if any, are you printing this year as gifts for your loved ones?

I'm printing a bunch of these gameboy cartridge cases, replacing the batteries in all my partner's old Pokémon games and then attempting to put a cover on them, no artist so relying on The cover project for those, meant for ds cases but it's close enough.


And manuals (Thanks internet archive)

I did mine first as a test run, just need to do the rest.

Last year I bought and configured ESP32’s as temp/humidity/soil sensors in cute printed boxes that look like ladybugs for my mom’s garden / greenhouse. She loves getting an alert anytime watering is needed from her “bug ladies”.

Maybe there is a day-to-day problem you can solve for your loved ones that makes them happy in a small way all throughout the year
