The needle threader I found in one of the ancestral sewing boxes, it's not electric though.
I'm not really a gadget person, I've got rid of most of them and gone back to basics, as I find they just clutter up cupboards, I supose the ones I use the most are my kindle, a bread machine and a food processor.
I have a thin metal needle threader which is not electric. It is very handy due to poor eye sight.
On a similar not electric theme, I invested in a non electric lawn mower this year. It is much lighter than the old one I had years ago. I now prefer it to an electric one as no cable needed or charging. I can get it out whenever I have time and it is much easier between flower beds and particularly relaxing on a warm day, listening to birdsong and waiting for ladybirds and spiders to move.
I just had a look on etsi for one like mine, but they don't have any I can find, but mines not wire, you stick the eye end of the needle in a hole, lay the cotton in a gap and press a little knob at the end and a little hook, retracts bringing the thread with it and through the eye of the needle. It's only good for thin thread though, you couldn't use it with embroidery thread or anything.
