Style Treaty

My better half is a weird and wonderful man. Knowing my habit of stealing his pen-knife when I need to do something and don’t feel like getting the correct implement (eg cutting my nails, slicing paper, cutting off a hanging thread… you get the gist), he bought me my own, teeny, hot-pink Swiss Army Knife. And, it’s the best thing ever. Seriously, I might love it more than my laptop, and that’s saying something.

It’s possibly the world’s best travelling beauty kit. A nail file/nail cleaner, a blade, a little scissors, a tweezers, and a toothpick, and it’s only about 6cm long. If you were careful about what you used the blade for, I’m certain you could use it for picnics while on holiday as well.

I’ve used it at work to bust open boxes of paper, deliveries, etc, to open the back of a computer in order to destroy the hard drive. (Don’t worry, my boss told me to.) I’ve used it in the car to fix the dodgy indicator button.

It’s honestly the most useful little thing I’ve ever seen; I only got it a few weeks ago and I’ve used it LOADS already - for all the things listed above, and other, normal, things like cutting plasters. And it’s extremely cute. Needless to say, it’s probably not flight safe, even though the blades are less than 4cm long, so I’d probably pack it in my checked-in luggage.
Go get one now. Seriously. They’re on sale here, also available in plum. Every girl should have one. Now, please excuse me, I have to go find things to cut.
