The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called "aglets."

Their true purpose is sinister.

This.

Also spare shoelaces or a roll of shoelace and aglets (and by aglets, I do mean heat-shrink tubing of the appropriate diameter).

The little things make a community run or fail. Not who has the guns, but who can turn deer into meat. Not who has food storage, it's who has the can opener.
I’ve seen people talk about a lot of things that you should consider having on hand In Case Of Things Going Weird starting on January 20th—electronics, food prep, and so forth.

One thing I haven’t seen on any lists yet?

A darning needle and darning thread.

I've been adding metal aglets to any clothing I have that has a knotted drawstring, my thinking is this will prevent them from fraying and extend the life of the garment a little, but also, I think it looks cooler

Day 7 of my Mudlarking-themed Advent calendar featuring artefacts I’ve found in the River Thames over many years 🎄

A handful of aglets (or aiglets.) From the Old French word ‘aguillette’, these are made from copper alloy, some with visible decoration. Used to keep cord or lace from unravelling 1/

Squinting as I fold laundry and get lost in learning that the majority of my hoodies do not have aglets on their strings

Charity shop purchase, excellent for showing off my tinier Thames treasures - marbles, garnets, aglets. This is a mandala gaming board, history of these goes back to Ancient Egyptian times & still popular in the Middle East. Handmade from walnut, I’ll be exhibiting it at Lewes on Sat 22nd March.
