I beg to differ. I had no problem threading needles when I was young and inexperienced. Now that I’m old, I can’t thread a needle to save my life. Might have something to do with my eyesight, but I prefer to believe that needle eyes are being made smaller these days. Probably because some greedy corporation is saving material to maximize their profit. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
I like the way you think. 
Temu has lots of fun, cheap options in needle threaders. Also a nice seam ripper with a threader at the other end. But probably quicker just to go to a Walmart or some other local store as others have suggested.
Yes, usually in those little emergency packs you can put in your purse in case of a wardrobe malfunction.
You can also buy self threading needles which allow you to match the thread you need to use.
I haven’t used those needles, that was just to show you what they look like.
I was taught that licking the thread causes hair balls, with graphic stories of horrible surgeries and such. That was many years ago…
I usually fold the thread in half around the head of the needle and then squeeze the fold tight while threading the needle. That gives some strength and stability to the thread…and won’t give me hairballs, LOL!
That is my favorite sort of threader. They don’t break when you are pulling thick thread through a too small needle. The needle head might, but that’s a lesson to always use the proper size needle for the thread.
I gotta have a large thread ball in me. And I thought it was just cat hair. 
There are other ways to point up your thread as said cut with sharp scissors at an angle. The beeswax thingy for slicking up your thread and needle can help, instead of licking. My granny would run the thread thru her hair. Not sure it helped as she had me threading needles.
Pinching the end of the thread.
For threading machines putting a piece of white card behind the needle will help and a good light.
You can also use needle threaders there. You can get self threading machines. Or ask a well-sighted member of your family to do it.
I think you were told a myth to discourage you from licking thread!
It’s true that humans can form digestive-tract bezoars from ingestion of various indigestible substances, just as cats get hairballs.
But AFAICT, bezoar formation requires consuming quite large amounts of such substances. Humans who get trichobezoars (hairballs) create them through disordered behavior involving regularly eating hair.
I have found a few recorded cases of persons developing a bezoar from ingesting cotton thread, but (warning: some of the following links have kinda gross photos) all of them involved the patient deliberately consuming large amounts of thread, sometimes along with other bezoar-causing fibers like hair. For instance, one patient had pregnancy-related pica and regularly ate quilting thread.
I would be willing to bet a substantial amount that there’s never been a case of bezoar development simply from licking thread ends to make needle threading easier. That said, it’s undeniable that the practice of licking thread is a bit insanitary, so if you want to avoid it and need to scare yourself with the threat of bezoar development to reinforce that avoidance, you do you.
Last self-theading needles I bought were flimsy pieces of crap. I threw them away and I use embroidery needles exclusively now.
My grandmother quilted, and she kept a flat piece of beeswax in a holder that had slits all around the perimeter. You pull the thread through one of the slits to coat the end with beeswax, and you can thread almost any kind of needle imaginable. If you don’t want the wax to end up in what you are sewing, just cut off the waxed piece.
I’m another oddball with horribly myopic vision. I take my glasses OFF to thread needles!

That’s the beeswax thingy I was talking about. Available at notions counters everywhere.
The Singer pre-threaded needles are not so flimsy.
I used to get them for my kids. Come-on, anyone can sew a button on!
Judging by your profile picture, I’m guessing that your hairballs are from a completely different cause.
In a pinch, I’ve dipped the thread end into water then place the spool in the freezer. Makes it way easier.
I suspect that unless you are sewing 18 hours a day, your risk of hairballs is relatively slight.
Are you insinuating that my own mother would lie to me? 
I was embroidering pillowcase and sheet borders before I was in grade school, that was back in the days when parents and grandparents would routinely lie to children.
Ya wanna hear some of the warning stories I got about putting needles or thread pullers in my mouth?
It was good that they taught me to use the folded thread trick instead. Now that my eyes are crap, I can do it by feel instead.
I’m not really worried about getting hairballs from stitching, I’ve always assumed I was getting them by sharing my pillow with cats.
That is unbelievably smart. Again.
You kill me @kayaker !
When my daughter was little she’d bring her stuff to me to sew. 
That’s what I used to do as well.
Since I got the bionic eyes, though, that doesn’t work any more!
Yep, beeswax is what I use for my leatherwork and sewing needles
