Caydo CE01 smart embroidery machine
If you are even kind of considering getting started in embroidery, you absolutely need to check out Caydo. The new CE01 Smart Embroidery Machine was so easy to start creating straight out of the box, making it perfect for beginners like me. But, what I love is that it will grow with me and my family and we can design, create, and wear our own creations of whatever we can dream up.

XNITO eVehicle Helmet
The XNITO eVehicle helmet is NTA 8776 certified helmet that designed for eScooters and eBikes that go up to 28mph, which is amazing when you’re talking about sending your kids off in open-air, small wheeled eVehicles that travel at car speeds and lack basic crash protection.
Smithey No. 10 Combo Set
Everyone here knows how much I love Smithey Ironware, right? My new favorite in their line is the Smithey No. 10 Combo Set that will easily become your everyday essential.

ACMER Ascarva 4S CNC Router Machine
I love the ACMER Ascarva 4S CNC machine and the fact that it is modular which makes it incredibly easy to assemble, repair and update parts as often as you’d like. You can upgrade the spindle to tackle larger projects or harder materials. And, even better, the ACMER Ascarva is compatible with their 5W/10W laser modules which converts the router machine into a laser engraver.
