The engagement ring I bought lived on a shelf in the living room for a few months waiting for the trip I intended to propose during.
My wife had no idea. It was hilarious to show her pictures I took of her looking at things on the shelf and not noticing, like picking out a movie and just completely missing the big wooden ring box.
Which i guess is a long way of saying I love this game!
My wife nearly tripped over me when I got down on one knee, lol. It was the height of Pokemon Go, and it was a little too good of a distraction from me being suspicious in the park where we first met.
I see it as a CNC for paper and similar materials. I steal my spouse's at least once per year, often for making stencils for painting projects or for making layered lightboxes.
I'm with you on that if it was for me. I have been looking at a getting a laser engraver, and I don't even consider proprietary software and materials.
I was in the business for a while and they can be more than toys but that's mostly up to you and what you want to do with it/need it for. Once I stopped working in the industry I kept mine for a while but eventually sold it since it didn't really solve any problems for me and took a lot of space just to make cool Christmas presents... I have a friend with 3D printers and other stuff that I go to when I need something for my business.
Cricuts are a brand of paper cutting machine, it's used by crafters and artists to cut out things like stickers (that's what we see the water bottle for) and scrapbooking things. I'm assuming it's a gift for ops wife.
It can basically move a blade along an electronically controlled path, so it can cut intricate shapes.
It can also use a pen or marker attachment to draw on paper, so that you can have things that look like handwritten script. So for example, if you want to send out a bunch of wedding invitations and you want to make "hand written" addresses on the envelopes, you can use certain script fonts with your existing address book, or even try to design a custom font from your own writing, and use that as a mass produced "writing" tool. There are a bunch of ways to make drawings and things like that, too.

I love that. Were you expecting her to notice and had a plan in case she did notice, or were you just going with the flow?
Oh I knew she wouldn't notice it. And if she did, I would have just proposed then.
She's wonderfully oblivious to some things (and still is, which makes it still so much fun to do with birthday presents and such for her)

What is the purpose of this experiment?
Fun, mostly. She noticed basically right away, do, fun's all done for me.
Hell yeah, science!
Note to self: it takes one day.
I assume it was a gift you left in plain sight.
Hope you like CUSTOM LABELS.
My wife has gone all in for the past month or two.
To see if she notices.
I guess its a machine that cuts shapes or something? idk have fun ig

I get the impression that Cricuts are super proprietary. Better to get some other brand of vinyl cutter machine, like Silhouette, Brother, Vevor, etc.
I'm with you on that if it was for me. I have been looking at a getting a laser engraver, and I don't even consider proprietary software and materials.
Just don't get a glowforge....
I was looking at an ohmtech k40, but, haven't been able to justify the price for what will, essentially, be a toy

What's a cricut? Is it a brand of water bottle? Wait, do water bottles have brands now?

That's wicked sweet. I can only imagine the shenanigans I could get up to if I could make my own stickers

The only box I noticed was Tyrants of the Underdark. Someone is a board game aficionado! :o
It really is just better Clank!
Somehow my brain translated "cricut" as "cactus" and I was having the darnedest time finding it...
Nice board games too; love Clank :)
That's OK. I spent a few wasted seconds trying to find the "circuit."
I like the way you think!
Aww
