My magic wand - it comes originally from my husband's toolbox, and is an extendable wand with a magnetic tip. I have a massive pin problem (they always end up all over the floor however hard I try to keep them in the box), and this means that I can pick them up without having to resort to my knees. They are about the size of an ordinary pen, cost about £1.99 and I have bought them for everyone I know that sews. Brilliant.
Oh and all the other stuff that everyone else has mentioned...
