Banish from your mind all thoughts of pointless surplus pins. Our (240) dressmaker silk pins are as sharp as David's comebacks on the phone. They're nickel-plated, 1-1/16" long, and size 17. (David is only a 15-1/5, but he's never dull, either.)

34521 DRESSMAKER PINS |
A whole weather station, all hung on one 58" pole ready to be planted in your garden. It includes a 15" high thermometer with °F and °C marked in large numerals, a rain gauge that will measure up to 4" or 10 cm. of rainfall against an expanded scale, plus wind speed and direction indicators. We suggest you hit the latter (2) with a shot of WD-40 to loosen them up. You get no read out on the wind, but can make a subjective judgement from the speed with which the anemometer spins and the direction the arrow points. Sturdy black plastic, it will be a handsome and useful addition to your yard. (We got 0.25" of rain last night!!)

91491 GARDEN WEATHER CENTER |
For your unmet festive yard needs. This 4-5/8" dia clear-plastic sphere contains a non-replaceable but rechargeable NiCad battery, a 2" square solar panel to keep it charged up, and a rubber-coated power switch. It comes with a constant white LED or a flashing multi-color LED inside it. It's maintenance-free, turning off and on as the ambient light waxes and wanes. You could toss a bunch into the pool for some floating cocktail-party elegance, but it does have a small mount on the top if you want to hang it from a tree. You ask us, we'd file off the mount and play night bocce ball.

...we'll scratch yours! It's the way the world works. You send us a little money, we'll send you several back scratchers! The 17" long lacquered wood back scratcher has a 1" deep "hand" to scratch where it itches in those hard to reach spots. Nice, simple, and satisfying.

29293 BACK SCRATCHER |
It's either a telescoping aluminum backscratcher or a long distance sand rake for mini Zen gardens. OK, it's both. It's got a convenient pocket clip at the fat end of the 5-draw antenna and a 1-1/8" wide, 6-tine rake on the business end. Compresses to 6-3/4" and opens to a full 26-1/2", which can be important, depending on the size of your back or your garden.

93158 POCKET SCRATCHER |
Reduce recycling space with this wall-mount steel can crusher. Very satisfying to use: pull the 12-1/4" long padded handle and it easily smooshes cans up to 5-3/8" tall (standard aluminum beverage size) into squat little accordion-pleated stumps. The black and gray steel unit mounts with the included screws and has a handy bottle opener under its the front lip, because you don't.

23024 CAN CRUSHER |
A big step up from the teensy sewing kits you get free in $400-a-night hotel rooms. Ours has the look of a leatherette checkbook, but it has snaps to hold it closed, and it contains a 25" measuring tape, thread scissors, (2) safety pins, (3) white shirt buttons, a plastic yarn needle, (3) sewing needles, (3) sets of sew-on snaps, a needle threader, and (2) lengths each of (11) different colored threads.

38160 SEWING KIT |
On a stick. This goofy, cartoon-like plastic paw is pale green and on a 15" long handle. It was made as a foolish fly-swatter, and is, but it has oh so many other possibilities. Buy two and let them see you applaud from the back row. Keep it in your desk and wait for someone to ask for a hand. Scratch your back, or the dog's. Stir things up. Wave.
