Dies are one of the more expensive items in this hobby, so I tend to gravitate toward the more versatile ones.

Getting More Out of Your Background Stamps

Handmade Scenic Stamped Gift Box
While primarily a cardmaker these days, I also love any excuse to create pretty little packages for the kind of gifts you give for no reason at all.
