Originally intended for hospital use (Think Nurse Cratchit. Think cold, wet sponge baths.), these 12” x 9–1/2” x 4–1/4” deep washbasins have rounded ends and flat lips. The #5 plastic is that wonderful institutional–yellow color. But they’re indestructible, short of melting them, and they nest when not in use. Use them to store your craft supplies, the kid’s action figures, the cat’s squeeze toys. Or take up nursing.

We figure it's another case of design-by-pun: pictures with pigtails. Cute though. This 4" x 5" x 5/8" clear acrylic picture frame (it's easy to insert a 3" x 2" pic) has a 14-1/2" long, soft rubber tail with wire inside, curled like a pigtail in the package. The acrylic frame is filled with un-mixable clear and colored liquid in grape, cherry, tangerine, ocean blue and other bright colors. Preteens and teens, especially, will enjoy bending the tail into a stand for a desk or night table, winding it around a bedpost, twisting a bunch together for a group arrangement. ( A pictolabra?)

And we did it ourselves with this little mat cutter and self-healing cutting mat. The dual-blade mat cutter has a comfy rubber handle and a removable bevel for clean 45° cuts. The blade adjusts to 9/16" deep and is 4-1/2" long OA, and replacement blades are standard stock in art supply stores. The hard rubber cutting mat is self-healing and no, we don't know how it does that. It's 11-3/4" x 8-3/4" x 1/8" thick, marked with 1/8" and 5mm increments and 1/2" squares, and lines for 45° and 60° cuts.

Very crafty-75 feet of twisted 25-gauge wire tightly wrapped in white plastic with a slightly bumpy, rough (and hence "crafty") finish. Think basket- or wreath-ready.

Don't you hate it when you forget what you smoked last week? This is a faux (but good faux) black leather pocket binder, 8" x 4-1/2" with (6) standard binder rings, a couple of card/receipt slots and penholder inside, (20) note pages, plus a locking strap. Think filo-organizer type. The inserts are tossable in seconds, or you could actually use the cigar-sizing chart and diary pages to keep track of exactly how many minutes you smoked that panatela on Thursday.

Or note-holder. For when you need something to sit up and be noticed. The cube version is a 1-3/8" clear acrylic base filled with blue and clear glycerin and oil, holding a silver-colored wire with a fat paper clip at the top. Stands 4-1/4" tall OA. The globe version is the same, but with a bell-shaped base that has a little model of the planet earth suspended in the gloop.

Be a good automotive neighbor and put these slightly flexible, white-plastic snap-on door guards on your car and save the car in the next space from death by a thousand dings. Especially important for cars driven by teenagers when the car in the next garage or driveway space is yours. Measure 5" long x 3/4" wide.

38167 DOOR GUARD |
Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed; hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. But despite the manufacturer's claims that it's safe for people, Scott reports that flesh-paddle contact delivers a nasty shock, nasty enough to say "Keep this away from kids!" We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us. Just be careful with it. 2 AA batteries, not included.

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.
