Sometimes I find myself shopping for things that I'd prefer to go out and get within the same day, but now I'd have to order and wait a few days to get...So I'm wondering what some of those things may be for you?

Hobby shit.

There used to be a hobby shop in town that catered to all kinds of things, from metalworking, to mini figures, to sewing and leathercraft. Model kits, trains, science kits, and if I remember correctly they even had a small section dedicated to chemistry supplies.

That was when I was a child.

Now that I'm actually in to several of those things, it's closed. My parents used to go for TTRPG stuff.

I'd love to not have to drive an hour and a half to pick up a leather stamp, or pop in to see if they got a new shipment of metals I need. And don't get me started on outdoor hobbies. The best we've got is a few shitty national chain sporting good stores.
