A small, clear-glass version of the jars the Greeks and Romans used to ship wine and olive oil in, but with a gold screw-cap instead of a lead seal which would poison your citizens and would have eventually destroyed your entire empire. Measures 8-3/4" tall x 3-1/4" across with a 2-1/8" base and a 2-1/8" ID mouth, and holds 16 oz. Clever folk will realize that a cord or chain slipped through the side handles will make this a hanging display or planter.

Try a convex mirror. This lightweight, chromed-plastic version measures 2-3/4" x 1-3/4" and is on a self-adhesive swivel mount. Might help you live with your car's blind spots; might be useful for other purposes, like keeping an eye on the whole room behind you, or that hidden spot in the hallway ahead of you.

Next to the postage-stamp-sized magnet that suspends our scissors on the wall of our cubicle, this is our favorite thing. The dark-brown, rubber-coated channel magnet is only 3/4" x 3/8" x 5/16", snaps around a standard ballpoint pen (up to 5/16" dia), and has just the right amount of strength to hold the pen on a metal drawer front or on the side of a file cabinet. And you can get enough for the whole office for less than the cost of your morning latte!

The Survival Bottle itself is an acrylic, 27-ounce water bottle with a screwcap and keeper. Inside is a compressed towel that magically expands to 23" x 11-1/2", a 52" x 82" Mylar blanket, a 3" x 1" magnesium fire-starting block with a 3" saw blade, a 5-function pen-knife/tool, and a whistle/thermometer/compass/mirror/magnifier/LED flashlight combo (phew!) powered by a couple of included coin cell batteries.

A real desktop mesmerizer. This 7"x 5" moving sand sculpture creates endless sand-dune vistas, and can be so easily flipped to start over that you need never go back to actually working. The sand is so fine it's nearly liquid, and comes in varying shades, plus a little glitter. Black base and frame. We'll pick sand in shades of orange, purple, green or red for you.
