I think a must have is a cutting mat, wouldn't want to cut into the wife's table.
Well, the first thing to own is your own table!! LOL
I like getting small modeling tools like jewelers have. Hardware stores have these real inexpensive, kinda like going to a Dollar Store and getting the cheap tools there. No need for HD stuff (like Snap-On) when all they are used for is light work.
I know Lowes has tools sets and gift ideas once in awhile, so there's an opportunity to grab a few at one time.
Go into the beauty section at a department store and pick up tweezers, scissors, emery boards and whatever you think you'll need and once you get started you'll be back for more!
