Toothpick Holder
Toothpicks actually have built-in holders, you know. Toothpicks often come with a ridged portion that you can break off before placing it on top of the table. You can just insert the toothpick inside a ridge. This is a fun and convenient way to keep it sanitary before you use it once more.
Aluminum Foil Packaging
Aluminum foil often comes with tabs on either side. Feel free to push them in because this is yet another trick that might change your life. You only need to push them in on both sides. This method locks the roll and prevents it from moving around as you try to get some foil for whatever reason.
