You might need this “LAUNDRY” hamper to get your duds off the floor. Measures approx 20” tall x 13” x 9-1/2” and it’s flexible and foldable, just like your clothes. We have black and silver, and we’ll pick a nice one that goes with your detergent. Has aluminum handles and that ever-reminding “LAUNDRY” on the side, just to help you get in the habit of putting dirty clothes in it instead of hanging them over the back of your chair. Because of its size, it’s not going to hold a ton of laundry, but it’s great for small loads, and also great for groceries and other reusable-bag situations.

If you thought this was going to be a description of exotic dancers removing only a portion of their clothes, let us remind you that we’re not that kind of publication. This is a 6” long, 3/8” wide, soft, easy-to-cut, plastic strip with (60) white LED lights in it. USB-powered and comes on a reel, like movie film. Very cool. The included remote control lets you cycle through (4) white tones—daylight, soft, warm and cool—and the strip’s self-adhesive backing lets you stick it pretty much anywhere. USB jack and connector included.

To be honest, these are some of the chubbier unicorns we’ve seen, more glue-factory grade than Black Beauty (Shut up, unicorns are too part horse!). But that makes them all the cuter and more fun to squish. They come in sets of (4) and the first ones we pulled from the magical unicorn crate were purple, blue, pink and rainbow. Who knows what you’ll get! Each has gelatinous little balls inside, like the tapioca balls in bubble tea. Unicorns are about 4” tall x 2-1/2" long x 2” across, and you can ignore the included service card from Punkdog.

Add the glitter of bright, brass-tone aluminum buttons, 9/16" dia, to tops, jeans, purses, backpacks. The buttons are new and convex, with a stationary 1/8" sewing loop on the back, and an embossed star and small hammer and sickle design on the front. All right, so they were from the Soviet military (circa late 1970s). The design is very discreet. And we weren't the ones who had to tear down a wall, so you can consider these the spoils of a cold war. (Lots and lots of spoils. Left-leaning artists who want to cover a giant canvas or Soviet statue with them should call for a volume discount.)

Here’s a fidget toy you can fidget with while you’re fidgeting! This bright, multi-colored ring expands and retracts, from 5" dia to just under 10”, and works well as a flying disc or halo-like headpiece. Its shapes, colors and movements will keep active minds and hands occupied for hours. Easy to store or slip into a bag, at about 1/2” thick.

This (4)-piece collapsible silicone measuring cup set from CookingLight™ magazine is one of the nicest we’ve seen. Each cup has a gray hard-plastic handle and rim, reminiscent of a cast-iron pan, with a colored silicone center that pops out for use and collapses for storage. Measurements are 1/4 Cup (blue), 1/3 Cup (green), 1/2 Cup (yellow) and 1 Cup (red). Handles have a hanging hole, and the set comes with its own matching hook. Cups are accurate and dishwasher safe—a no-brainer for anyone who loves to cook or bake. Who wants pancakes! Jarvis?

With this nice hot and cold laminating machine, and the included (50) thermal laminating sheets, you can protect your documents and still see them at a glance. Comes with a cutter, corner rounder and hole-punch, which works for single holes and (3)-ring binders. Unit measures approx 12” x 4” x 2-1/2” tall, which means it fits on pretty much any desktop, and has a 230mm inlet that’s 9” wide (A4 size). You’ll get (10) A4, (15) A5 and (25) A6 laminating sheets. Surely you have documents, cards and photos to preserve.

Hell of a tool bag here. Measures 15” x 10” x 10” with (18) slip-in pockets on the outside, a double-zippered top and (2) carry handles with a hook’n’loop sleeve to hold them together. Easy-access main compartment pops open like a breadbasket, and the hard bottom (with grippy feet) holds that shape. Mostly black, with forest green panels and a see-through ID card holder. This bag is so nice, and so sturdy, we wish we had more tools to put in it. Also great for gardening, camping, picknicking and road-tripping. Collapses down to just about flat with nothing in it. Canvas type material. 

We don’t care who you are or what you do, everybody needs a reliable supply of binder clips, paper clips and push pins. Our 5-1/2” tall x 3” dia, (3)-sectional, clear plastic tower includes (18) binder clips, (120) paper clips and (150) push pins, each in its own section that screws to the other (2) for tidy storage. Made by Pep Rally™, and in the most pleasant pastel colors, because black and silver are way too boring.

Safety comes first, but sweeter-than-honey style comes a close second with these 6-foot long WHEELLIGHTZ™ strings of tiny LED bulbs for the inside of your bike rims. Included gasketed power pack mounts in your spoke area and runs on (3) “AAA” batteries, also included. Super-easy to install (mounting materials included), and super-easy to see from a distance. Lights have constant and flashing modes. You pick the color: blue, green or red. There’s no rule that says you can’t have different-colored wheels.

Don’t let anyone accuse you of having a cold heart, even if you do have cold hands. Warm them up with this 6500 mAH electric Hand Warmer Power Bank Pro, which is about the size and shape of a small computer mouse (4” long x 2-1/2” wide x 1” thick) without the hump. Also acts as a power bank, and a USB to Micro USB cord is included, along with a nice felt drawstring pouch. Unit heats from 100 to 130F, according to the box, and does so in a matter of seconds via (3) settings. Get a few of ’em and drop them into your pockets for spring, fall and winter sport-spectating, hunting, camping and a million other outdoor things.

Lasts approx 6-12 hours on heat settings if the USB charger is not being used. 

Low/Medium/High temp) 104-113°F(40-45°C)/ 113-122°F(45-50°C)/ 122-131°F(50-55°C) at your choice

That special someone might light up your life but not your tent or trail, which is why you’ll want this 360º LED lantern, with (5) beam settings when you’re camping or hiking. Measures 4” dia x 7” tall, includes (6) “AA” batteries, and is available in romantic green or orange. Has a foldable metal hanging hook and handle. Settings range from ultra-bright (1000 lumens), to low (100 lumens). Toggle between them or hold the switch to gently dim. The warm nightlight option really sets the mood, and the lantern is splash-proof (IPX4 rated), in case things really heat up!

These amber glass bottles hold 2 oz and measure 1-1/2” dia x 3-7/8” tall counting the yellow plastic safety screw cap with helpful opening instructions on it. Bottle has a 5/8” ID mouth. Great for aromatherapy concoctions, and don’t forget that amber provides excellent UV protection for your precious oils.

Not sure how you’re supposed to get any journaling done with something so snazzy, but this 6” x 8” sequined notebook is probably better for your psyche than any diary entry, anyway. Sequins have a fish-scale pattern and are surprisingly soft, ranging from deep purple to bright green as you tilt the cover, with (duh!) a silver mermaid in the center. Has about (80) lined pages with space at the top right for dates, so it’s perfect as a diary. Or for noting the catch of the day.

We are not going to lie...these scopes are entry level, lower power scopes. From our vast experience, they are really good spotting scopes, (over land) and good for looking at the moon. At only 17" long, they are very portable, so nice for traveling. Each scope comes with (3) magnifactions. 20x, 30x, 40x. Desktop tripod is included with instructions. So expect the moon and woody woodpecker, but don't expect to see Matt Damon growing crops on mars.

What can we say about chrome steel ball bearings besides their essential uses? Well, a lot, actually. They're perfect for Rube Goldberg displays and artwork. Imagine them in various sizes in a glass container. Imagine dipping them in paint, rolling them on canvas and making the world forget about Jackson Pollock. They also work as heavy-duty marbles, and might even calm you if you place a few in your palm and work them like a stress ball. See what you can come up with when the wheels start turning? Ball bearings. Wheels turning. We know you got it. You pick the size that suits your bearing needs.

Elenco resistor and capacitor combo kit. Resistors come in 73 values and (5) of each value. Capacitors total 100 pieces in 21 different values. This is a great kit to have around as the components are in zipseal bags, and in a nice storage box, with all the values on the box. Another great Elenco item.

Remember those slap bracelets that swept the nation a few years back? This 18" long x 3/4” wide easy-to-read ruler is sort of like those in that it stays bent and then snaps open again, but nothing like those in that this is a tool, not a fashion accessory. Or is it? Until you decide on that, consider that, tool-wise, it has magnets on the end to keep itself shut, but also to attach it to dry-erase boards or anything metal. Has standard 1/16" markings with clear lines and large digits.

You’re thinking about traveling again, just like we are, and we’re not going anywhere without Travel Sentry® cable locks on our luggage. These handy little gems measure 1-1/2" x 1-3/4". They look like padlocks, but instead of having a steel half-loop as a shackle, they have a 3/16" dia cable. Have (3) digit rolling number combinations with a magnified view on the side. The ones we plucked off the pile are blue, but we have other colors, and we’ll pick for you because you have a vacation to plan. These are specific luggage locks, so they can be opened and relocked by TSA agents without damage. But you can use them for anything that needs locking up—not just luggage!

There are no flies on him, our British Uncle Rupert used to say about our cousin Roger. That’s because Roger never went anywhere without a colorful plastic fly swatter like this one, 6” x 7” and hand-shaped, which was perfect for him because he also loved bidding at estate auctions in the Cotswolds. Handle is about 6-1/2” long, so the whole thing is 13-1/2”, but it telescopes out to a staggering 30” for hard-to-reach flies and antiques you absolutely can’t leave without! We’ll pick one in red, blue or chartreuse.

Flat plastic Fresnel lens. This flexible magnifier is 7-1/4" x 10-1/4" and only about a millimeter thick. It is great when you need to scan a list, read a book, start a camp fire or just want to embiggen something. You can see most of the page without moving the magnifier which makes it great for reading. Only about 1.5 power, but that can make a huge visual difference. Nice piece at a very nice price.

Perfect for hands-on hobbyists. Foot-pedal speed controls free up your paws to do the real work. This one's for 120VAC devices, and ideal for machines using approx 200W or 1.6A or less. Measures 5" x 3" x 2-1/4" tall, with a 6-foot cord that plugs into the wall and a 2-foot grounded female plug for your sewing machine, rotary tool, scroll saw, or, if you really make a lot of banana Daiquiris, blender.

Learn atomic weights while winning money from your classmates. Here’s a double deck of (104) cards plus (4) jokers all stored in a stylish box because no one wants to lose their gold, krypton or rubidium. In addition to the standard playing card values, the decks cover the periodic table of elements. Each card includes one element’s atomic number, symbol, series, melting and boiling points, period/group, uses, est. atomic weight, standard state, and the element’s name in English. Includes instructions for (2) educational games if you aren’t in the mood for canasta or two games of hearts. Up to date 6th Edition for all your fraction of a second elements.

Before fishing got all modern with high-tech reels and rods, and lines and hooks, our ancestors caught seafood dinners with pointy things. Return to those simpler days with this 9” Fishing Spear Head from Crate Club by Martin Brothers. Technically it’s a tactical survival tool, but that just means it’s super-high quality and durable. Made of 3/16” thick stainless steel, you can use it as a (2)- or (4)-point spear. Assembles easily and folds flat for storage. All you supply is the stick that the spear attaches to, and the hunting spirit. The fish will respect you more with a spear—trust us.

Our motorman, CJ, called this reversible 12-24VDC motor strange, mostly because it has the power contacts mounted on the face, bracketing the 11/16" x 1/8" mostly striated shaft, and has no mounting brackets. But that shouldn't stop a clever person like you. (Hint: it was probably made to fit into a sleeve of some sort.) At 12VDC, draws 100mA no load, stalls 850mA and spins approx 900 rpm; at 24VDC, draws 150mA, stalls 2.2A and spins approx 1800 rpm.  Measures 2-1/4" x 1-13/32" dia.

Whatever you think about the French, they know their cheeses and their kissing, and maybe not coincidentally, they’re good with nature, too. French-made Nature Challenge card games have a deck of (36) cards, which players use to compete while learning about nature and science. Flip a card, choose a characteristic (say, longevity) and compare it to other players’ cards. The player with the strongest characteristic wins all cards, a la War. Each of these (6) decks has a theme, and you pick: Sea Creatures, Space, Legendary Creatures, Cats, Kings of Camouflage or Extraordinary Animals. Ages 7+. Bonne chance, amis!

Don’t ask us how to pronounce the mfg. name Xoopar, but we can tell you all about their Power Note wireless Bluetooth® speaker and portable charging Bank. And it's spectacular! Measures a mere 1-3/4" x 4-1/4" high, and has a speaker playback time of about 17 hours. Speakler is rated at 3W, and transmission distance is approx 30 feet. LiPo battery charges in about 2 hours and has a 1500MaH capacity. Features include call functions, speaker and selfie capture. Also comes with a USB to Micro-USB cord. Body is white with a red colored top.

Jarvis Says: Photo shows promo images, but these are promo free!

Hang this holographic prism in the window for delicate, changing color effects. As the sun shines through, it throws splashes of red, yellow, green, blue, violet and more around the room. The glass disc is 4-1/8" dia x 1/4" thick with a chrome-look frame. Comes with a suction cup hanger to mount it on a window. (Find a way to make it rotate for an especially cool effect!)

Yes they, do. Neither Man nor Woman lives by retro hipster vinyl alone. This binder-style CD book holds (24) discs in back-to-back pages with an orange and translucent cover. Comes in an equally translucent sleeve so the CDs don't fall all over the floor of the car you have that still has a CD player.

And this one will, running on rubber-band power after you spend a few happy hours putting it together. This all-wood, steampunky monowheel comprises (300) parts, and measures approx. 7-1/4" x 3-3/4" x 6-1/4" when completed. You'll see all the moving gears that run it in (2) modes: straight ahead with a turn-around finish; or continuous turning until it hits an obstacle, which means you can use it as a retro-futuristic bowling ball. Includes (19) spare parts.

Okay, it isn't the cheapest magnet in the warehouse - but we pulled about 35-40 pounds with this 4-7/8" x 1" x 3/4" ceramic magnet,  and we think it's a bargain. It has a 6" bracket with mounting holes on 5-1/2" centers, plus a 1/2" ID eyehook bolted into the center of it. It's all set to troll the bottom of the lake next time your filing cabinet falls overboard.

Remember when people said that? No? Ask your dad. We brought it back because we miss '80s surfer dudes and because it's such a good headline for these metal nesting tubes. All are 12” long with .014” walls. You pick: the set of (8) aluminum tubes in 1/16” through 9/32” outer diameters; the set of (7) copper tubes in 1/16” through 1/4” outer diameters; or the set of (12) brass tubes in 1/16” through 13/32” outer diameters.

Who needs a fairy godmother with this DIY jewelry-making kit? Has everything you need to be the belle of the ball, including charms, findings, a choker, a necklace and more. Instructions guide you through (3) projects, but you can improvise plenty of others. Every LaurDIY Natural Festival Jewelry Kit also includes a collectible bracelet, but not the listed booklet; it’s surplus after all. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to decide whether the druzy teardrop accent or faceted point goes better with these pumps.

Why curse the darkness when you can light these 120V 10W candelabra bulbs in the electric candelabra you build. Which you can do because each bulb comes in a matching socket, dark brown, 1-1/8" tall x 13/16" dia with steel wings to compress it into a fitting. Each socket is rated for up to 75W and has quick-disconnect terminals on the bottom. UL.

Oh, this item is a magnifier? Great—we needed one because the print is so small anymore, and it’s always dark in these places! Did we write that out loud? Anyway, this handheld 2X illuminated magnifier from Carson® has a crystal clear acrylic lens and a 4X bi-focal spot lens—for when the print is extra-extra small. Just set the 3-1/4” dia lens over whatever you want to read and turn on the (2) super-bright LEDs. Runs on (2) “C” batteries, which you supply.

Who doesn’t? Try this set of (5) low-profile white, red, green and blue LED accent light pucks.

Also has bright or dim white settings, 4- and 8-hour cycles, and (12) color permutations for your color morphing pleasure. Remote includes a replaceable coin-cell battery and has a 15-foot range. Lights come with foam tape for mounting.

Jarvis says: Halloween Alert! Stick a puck in each pumpkin and watch the glowing magic.

Stop wrapping duct tape around your vise, and protect delicate material the right way with this pair of hard-rubber, ribbed pads made to cover the jaws. The pads have (2) rare earth magnets embedded inside the rubber. Made for a 4" vise, they measure 4" long x 1-1/8" high x 3/8" thick with a lip along one long side. The rubber is 3/32" thick.

Made of blue and black 600D polyester, with slots for holding (4) drill bits. Get it before some drywall-hanging Frank Miller shows up in town.

This isn’t a pub that sells only watered-down beer, but you already knew that. Gotta start the description somehow. Our 12” long, 1” dia Touch Light Bar from Kikkerland® is great for under-cabinet lighting, but also works nicely on mirrors (with its suction-cup mount) to help with make-up sessions, tweezering and all that stuff. Go ahead and put it anywhere, actually, since it has no wires and runs on (3) “AAA” batteries, which you supply. But hey, we’ve taken you this far. Almost done. To turn the light on or off, tap one end. Keep your finger there to adjust the brightness. Bright is pretty bright, like the people who invented light beer.

A very handy 3/8" X 1" X 1/4" in size they are lime green in color and are plastic coated on the tops so they are uber easy to find in a pinch. Great for the fridge, white board or any metal surface.
