Woobles Crochet Kit ($30)
"In terms of my splurge spending, nothing feels as good as throwing money at craft kits and projects. I will go out of my way to justify buying the newest Woobles kit, including and not limited to pre-ordering their collabs! Maintaining my mental health comes down to creating something every day — an overwhelming ask with so much going on, to say nothing of 'blank page anxiety,' which makes it additionally challenging to start something from nothing. Woobles kits give me the blueprint, the materials, and the basic skills, which prime the pump on my creativity, opening up a world of possibility. At times when I'm pulling back on ordering in, eking out the last drops of a precious hair oil, and rationing my pricey perfume spritzes, I will always make room for one more craft, because nothing is more soul-feeding than creating. It anchors me to my humanity!" — Caitlin Oates, editorial operations coordinator
