So whether you’ve gotta show your overgrown shrubs who’s boss or need to bring the smack down on some border grass, here’s your new weapon.

  • NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
  • ELIGIBILITY: This bad boy ships to the US only.

    I actually do need skills on how to keep myself motivated to get stuff done. I get bored with projects easily and invent new ones. This is not a good thing.

    I wish I spoke another language…maybe Norwegian. It wouldn’t be overly useful but it might be a way to honor my heritage.

    In a more practical sense, it would be great to have some good cooking skills. :)

    As for a much-needed and much-wished-for skill, I would want to be better at maintaining our (extensive) landscaping (which we inherited when we bought the house six months ago). We have no idea what we’re doing . . .
