Sure, the greenest gift is giving nothing. But unless you want your family calling you the holiday grinch, try the next best thing: Give the Gift of Repair.

A toolkit, a new battery, a part they desperately need, or fixing up something they love is more thoughtful than anything destined for the clutter drawer. Repair is sustainable, personal, and way more fun than a last-minute impulse buy. Check out our holiday sale now at the link below!

The Pixel Buds 2a teardown gave us whiplash. The buds are glued shut like a tiny escape room, but the charging case is one of the most repairable we have ever seen.

It's a tale of two products. One half looks like the team ran out of time and reached for the glue. The other feels like someone proudly whispered “what if we made it actually repairable” and then did exactly that. Read the full analysis at the link below.

A fully disassembled pair of light purple Google Pixel Buds and their charging case are laid out on a white surface. All internal components are separated, including the earbuds split into shells and drivers, tiny screws, silicone ear tips, coin-cell-style batteries, the main case battery labeled “Google,” the charging case’s outer shells, buttons, internal plastic frames, springs, gaskets, and a small circuit board.

A holiday-themed layout displays the iFixit FixHub soldering toolkit and accessories on a blue background. The spread includes a black tool roll, soldering iron, cables, wire cutters, a brass tip cleaner, a spool of solder wire, soldering accessories, and the FixHub power unit. Wrapped silver gift boxes with blue and black ribbons are arranged around the tools.

A person wearing safety glasses stands at a workbench, using a soldering iron on a small circuit board. An open iFixit tool roll with blue-handled tools sits on the table nearby, and a black soldering station is connected to the iron. The workspace has warm lighting and a wall decorated with colorful prints and patterns.

What’s inside a disposable vape? A surprisingly good lithium battery… and a whole lot of wasted potential.

2ndChanceMND decided that was nonsense. They’re cracking open vapes, harvesting their power cells, and turning them into battery packs powering anything from cordless power tools to e-bikes. Learn more about them at the link below.
