So my ears are at 3/4″ right now and I just bought a pair of 1″ plugs, I’ve never been a big fan of doing the smarter thing and buying tapers to stretch them, so I was wondering if there are any objects I may have around the house to stretch them out with?

YIKES!
3/4″ to 1″ is an enormous jump to force your lobes to stretch and a really awesome way to blow out your ears so they don’t get any bigger (or smaller!) among other things.

“Stretching” isn’t something you DO to your lobes, technically speaking. Wearing appropriate jewelry and keeping your lobes clean and moisturized will ensure they stay plump and stretchy and then relax enough for you to fit the next size jewelry without forcing it.

The best thing you could find around your house to help out would be some teflon tape. Putting a wrap or two on every week or so will get you to 1″ in no time as long as you don’t force it.
Forcing something through your lobes is a surefire way to ruin them.
Patience!
