It's easier if you start off with genuine name-brand Sharpie® brand Sharpies like these. This set of (5) permanent markers includes (1) each in black, red, blue and green with fine points, plus an alarming neon yellow highlighter with a wedge tip. Pocket clips galore. And the packaging is in Spanish, so you’ll learn words like permanente and colores, but they write just fine in English.

It always is, isn't it, whether you're Wondrous Woman, Dick Tracy or Hank Aaron? Now your wrists can make any project easier. These magnetic wrist bands look like smart watches on steroids, but when you strap one on, you'll have an assistant that holds nails, nuts, bolts, pins, drill bits or any other ferrous widget you can imagine. The 1" x 2" magnet has approx one-pound pull and will snatch up a paper clip from 2" away. The elastic band with a hook-n-loop closure means one size fits all. In black, which will make your wrists look slimmer, and will be perfect for the Mechanic's Ball.

Keeps Cold Stuff Cold... and hot stuff hot. (And yes, it also keeps lukewarm stuff lukewarm, but stop asking silly questions.) How does it know? It's a mystery, like its namesake, the Yeti. The 18-oz Rambler® bottle is from YETI ®, the undisputed king of keeping stuff at temperature. Made of double-wall, kitchen-grade 18/8 stainless steel and with a great big (over-the-nose!) mouth that makes it easy to load, drink from and clean—which you can do safely in a dishwasher if you don’t want to get your hands wet. Pretty much indestructible and the leak-proof cap has a three-finger grip. The whole thing is, like all the greats, no-sweat. Measures 10-1/8" tall x 3" dia and weighs in at about 19 oz. NOT AVAILABLE IN OUR STORES.

Here’s a pair of 1,000-piece puzzles in one package—and we have (3) different pairs. Each puzzle stores in it's own colorful and solid  7.5" x 7.5" x 3" box and both fit in a sleeve that keeps them together. All are classic scenes and we’ll send you the pair (in a single pack) we think best suits your puzzle skills. You’ll get either a snowy Neuschwanstein Castle (the most-misspelled castle in the world) and the Taj Mahal (one of the most-photographed buildings in the world); an intriguing lighthouse at sunset and a peaceful flowery garden with an inviting bench; or the classic Small House on the Praire-esque mother & daughter scenes of hanging laundry and shucking beans, both set among flowers. These are high-quality, precision-cut puzzles that will measure 27" x 19" when complete. When incomplete, they’re hard to measure. For you puzzle masters who like a challenge, try mixing the pieces of both puzzles together and see what you come up with. If it looks good, send us a photo.

This 3 Lumen LED light is a mighty mite. Just under 4-1/2" long x 1" dia, you slide the sleeve and the beam zooms from a flood to a don't-stare-into-this focused spot. In black or gun metal anodized aluminum, it's waterproof and shockproof with a latching button switch and a pocket clip. Depress the button halfway when it's on and it goes into a rapid-flash mode for emergency signaling. Visible for 275 meters. Five hour life with the included 1-"AA" battery and a 110K+ hour bulb life.

Sounds like the third-baseman on an abominable softball team, but in this case the YETI® is the perfect thing to hold your beer at the campsite, cabin, tailgate, boat party, or in the woods. (Do beers git in the woods? Yes, they do.) Know where else it’s perfect for? Your backyard, for the rest of your life. Called the Colster®, it's made of double-wall 18/8 stainless steel and acts like a frosty bear hug for your can or bottle, keeping it cold, sweat-free, and much harder to spill. Has a "Load-and-Lock" gasket to get a grip on your suds, and measures 4-7/8" tall x 3-1/2" dia, which fits in standard auto cup-holders. With that in mind, we should mention that the Colster is an equal-opportunity cooler, and is quite happy to hold your diet orange soda, too.

Pack more vacuous, because vacuum packing isn't just for coffee, it's for saving storage space for anything soft and squooshable. We suggest this incredible 6-piece variety pack of vacuum-seal storage bags, into which you can stuff pillows and blankets and sweaters and overcoats and stuffed monkeys and any number of other things, then suck out all the air with the enclosed hand pump and watch it shrink by 80% so you can slide it under your bed and forget about it for mold and moth-free years. (OK, it's not a pump, because it sucks, so call it a handy little sucker.) You get 2 small bags 24" x 16", 2 medium bags 28" x 20" and 2 jumbo bags 32" x 24". Also dandy for travel because the little sucker doesn't take up much space, so you can shrink your return laundry too--and keep it hermetically sealed. For faster sucking, use a vacuum cleaner!

OK, we don't know how to pronounce the Scosche company's name, but we like saying a skosh more, so we did. Anyhoo, this Scosche TUNEIT is a digital FM transmitter made to play music over your car stereo. Connect to the output with the integrated AUX cable, find an unused FM frequency on your stereo (the dial is full of them), and you'll be dancing on the roof in a matter of moments. Compatible with Apple iPhones and iPods, Samsung Galaxy, Android, MP3 players or anything with a 3.5mm Aux output. The oversized backlit display is on a flexible neck and has control buttons to scan between (100) radio stations and preset (3) of your favorites.

Dribble much? Drop a lot of pizza on the davenport, sport? Save the couch with this 54" x 54" cover in a quilted beige, 65% poly-35% cotton, washable cover. It’s what your grandmother would want you to do (and she’s right), except that this cover’s not plastic. Comes with (2) 18” x 12” pieces that aren’t pillow cases no matter what they look like. Might be for your head, or feet, or arms, or wherever you leave the most greasy evidence. Compare the price to a new couch, and then buy one of these for what a single lunch would cost you.

...tooth. These rechargeable Bluetooth® wireless earbuds are made for gym rats, or at least people who exercise and don't want to sweat all over their electronics. Sport hooks keep them securely on your ears as you jog, step, skip, hop or whatever you do at the gym. Buds themselves are sweat-resistant and comfy. Also tangle-free with a built-in mic, which also controls pause/play/call pick-up. Wires are approx 24" long.

Matches? You won't need no stinkin' matches when you have the Humvee® Fire Striker from Adventure Gear®, the outdoor specialists. You'll get a silica gel ring with a concealed flint, a stainless steel striker and a carabiner clip--because all the cool stuff hangs from a carabiner. Attach it to your wrist, belt or bag and you'll never have to rub two sticks together again. The striker has a 50mm rule, just because. This tool could save your life, or at least make your evening.

But this isn't a raven, it's a crow (different tails, if you're curious), and it doesn't say anything because it's plastic. It's also very cool, not unlike the famous “House Bird” from Charles and Ray Eames, America's fave mid-century modern design team, except that their crow is carved wood and sells for $270. You could look it up. Our bird is even a tad larger at approx 15" long, beak to tail. And it's hollow, with removable legs and a stake for hanging or sticking in the ground. Manufacturer says it's made to scare away real crows, but we like it just for sitting around on the floor, looking crowish or for scaring little varmints. Or if you have, say, a forsythia in the yard, you could buy (3) and have one in the hand and two in the bush.

A famous woodworking apprentice carves out a living today making these puzzle boxes from recycled hardwoods. Pull the secret wooden pin and the critter opens up to reveal, well, an empty velveteen-lined box, but it's just waiting for you to put your treasured jewelry, ill-gotten cash, safety-deposit box key, or candy stash inside. Your choice: the bear's head, gator's cranium, pelican, bear on a log, and angelfish all of which measure about 5-1/2" X 3-3/4" X 3-1/2". Click here for a short video.

Got tactical stuff to carry? And by “tactical” we mean “stuff you really-really don’t want damaged”? If so, or if you want to give the impression you’re carrying super-important stuff, get this great-looking Flambeau® hard shell tactical case. Made of crazy-strong black plastic, it has (2) rugged dual action latches for extra security. Also has a waterproof seal, Zerust anti-corrosion technology and two separate layers of cubed pick foam inside. Measures approx 13” x 12” x 6” outside and 12” x 9” x 5” inside, and weighs just under 4 lbs. Meets TSA and airline requirements for transporting firearms, but feel free to fill it with personal electronic devices or other fragile equipment. Or turn it into the toughest-looking picnic basket in the neighborhood.

iPhones like the holidays, too. Help yours celebrate with this 44" long USB-to-lightning connector charge cord. The celebratory part is that instead of being another boring cord, this one has (10) LED holiday bulbs in assorted colors. And they light up even when it’s not charging!

Hold the buggy, hold the baby. These mega-useful, self-sticking, clear, hard-rubber bumpers are used to tamp cabinet doors, prevent tchotchkes from moving or marking surfaces, and tons of other things. You’ll get (16) at 3/8” dia and (9) at 1/2” dia.

Got something that needs pulling more than you could possibly pull it yourself? Lean on physics for help! Our portable 1-ton cable puller has a forged hook with a safety latch, approx 7 feet of 7 x 19 aircraft cable, a vinyl-coated grip, and a solid steel frame and single pawl gear—all in a handy carrying case. Don't install a fence without stretching it with this tool, which falls dead-center in the "Don't need one until you need one" category. Fortune favors the prepared. Imagine: logs, tree stumps, clearing debris, camping, boating, hunting. We’re not pulling your leg when we say the uses for this tool are endless.

This stopwatch from Bollinger® Fitness has 3-line, large-scale back-lit displays and is water- and shock-resistant. Includes a belt clip and a lanyard, because what coach doesn’t have a lanyard? Back-lit displays include time/date, 10-hour countdown range, and 12/24-hour format. Displays fastest, slowest and average lap speed and stores up to (80) laps/split memory with 1/100th precision. Surplus factor! Comes with a dead, but replaceable CR2032 battery, which we will include a brand new one.

These under-cabinet blacklights from GE® are perfect for converting your kitchen to a disco. Joke (or maybe not?), but they're dandy for illuminating scorpions, paints, dyes, blacklight posters, rocks, or any visible fluorescent stuff from above. Measure 22" long x a standard 2.25” with an on/off rocker switch and a plug on a 5-foot cord. Includes (1) 15W blacklight bulb (replacement bulbs are F15T8 type), and all installation hardware. Go boogie.

Or it will be if you clip this handy digital timer to your belt. Measures 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” x 1-1/8” thick in white plastic and has a magnet on the back for fridge/stove sticking. Belt clip also doubles as an easel. Counts down from or up to a maximum time of 99 minutes, 59 seconds, which you can see on the clear LCD. Easier to find than your phone because you’re going to leave the timer in the kitchen, where it belongs, and unlike the stove timer, you can actually hear it beep. Made for medical use, but it doesn't care what it's timing. Includes the single “AAA” battery it runs on.

This handy little gray plastic bug zapper, shaped like a lantern, is powered by an internal battery that's rechargeable via a USB charging cable. Stands 11-1/2" tall x 6" wide x 1/2" thick and will stand on a 2-1/4" wide base or hang from a 3/16" loop on the top. Has (4) insect attracting UV LEDs above the deadly lattice-work center.

Power terminals are exposed and you may get short leads. Koge model #KPV276.

Fully licensed by the Discovery Channel™, these polyresin sharks are 6” long and bounce on little springs above their 3” round coral-reefish bases. Put one on the floor and make guests jump it, or add a little double stick tape and have a dashboard shark. We’ll pick a great white or hammerhead for you because of our superb ichthyological taste.

That’s where these military overseas caps started out, on Deutsch köpfe. Slightly shorter than the U.S. garrison cap, and with a jaunty curve, front to back, they’re in dark blue-gray with orange piping and a German army insignia on the front. We’ll pick a pair in (2) different sizes 58-63, which is approx 7-1/4 to 7-7/8 on American heads, but the envelope design gives them some size leeway.

These plastic luer lock syringes will take a needle, but they're not sterile, so we’d suggest craft, woodworking or general squirting uses only. Measure 7” long (3-3/4” for the fillable section) x 1-1/8” ID. Will hold 0.3 oz /10ml and has graduated markings. Our each is a bag of (50).

It is now officially time to put all those pictures you've been meaning put into sleeves into sleeves. Don't make us tell you again. You pick: black plastic sleeves at 8-5/8" X 7-3/8" with (17) binder holes, made to hold (4) photos up to 4-1/8" x 6-1/4" back to back; or white plastic photo sleeves, 6-1/4" X 4-7/8" with (12) binder slots, made to hold (2) photos up to 4-1/8" x 6-1/8" back to back.

Need to gaff? This is not technically gaffers’ tape because it has no cloth backing, but it has very similar adhesion and tearabilityness, so it’ll do for pretty much all your gaffing-like needs. Gray vinyl, 1-7/8" wide x .004" on a 50-yard roll. Just a good, solid, versatile roll of tape.

Wax candles, no fire. Our each is a pack of (3) cream-colored candles, with shells made of actual wax, and flickering LEDs instead of wicks. Candles measure approx 3” dia and are tad under 4”, 5” and 6” tall. They have steady-on and 6-hour cycle modes, and you’ll need (3) “AAA” batteries for each, and you won’t burn the house down. (Also dandy for restaurateurs where open flames on tables are now illegal.)

No, not you. You’re not a golden retriever. We’re talking about these spectacular heel clips with flashing LEDs inside. Clamp one around the heel of your shoe, set it for fast, slow, or constant on, and it glows bright red around the back and both sides of your heel. Makes you visible on night runs and extra-stylish in a darkened disco or rave. The strong spring makes them quite grippy. Our each is (1) clip, but you really should get a pair if you’re as symmetrically inclined as we think you are.

The first-responders’ friend. Ergodyne Proflex® 730 gloves are OutDry® waterproof with breathable membrane. They also offer bloodborne protection.

We’ll send you (2) different kits--each a lesson in geography, history, engineering and architecture. Your kids won’t even have to go to school the day they build these! Ages 6+

What is a killer rare earth magnet? Well, once upon a time, a copywriter put this little magnet next to his computer monitor and got really pretty, wavy, aurora-like effects. And then got a new monitor! Don't try this at home. Our shiny, silver-colored 1" x 1" x 1/2" neodymium magnet looks innocent, but is industrial strength, pulling something like 25 lbs with enough strength left over to erase all your credit cards. And wreak havoc with your monitor.

This small stainless steel fine-mesh filter is 2” dia x 1-1/2” tall. It has fine mesh sides, a solid plastic bottom and slight lip around the top. Nice for small filtering jobs, but would also make a passable basket for a gerbil hoops game.

In another life this would have kept the Cisco Kid dry and made riding on Diablo a lot comfier. For you, it's a hooded rain poncho with a built-in stadium seat cushion for when you can go to stadiums again. Our VP for measuring maximal glutei says fits best for folks 6-foot and under, but don't take personally, high-pockets. In black, which is always elegant and slimming in the rain.

Imagine a chromed plastic thingy, 4" x 3-1/2" x 2" with stubby round ends specifically made for “full-body massage, headache relief, muscle tension, and sports injuries.” It’s our Nukkles® massager. You imagining it? Don’t nod off due to pure relaxation based on the description alone. You could also glue googly eyes on one and have a new pet. We’ll pick one in silver, green, aqua or purple.

Our mini-coffin, in unfinished pine with brassish hinges and a clasp, is 6" long x 1-3/4" deep x 3" at the shoulders. You definitely want to think outside of this box, but it's perfect for gerbils, mice (just because you killed them doesn't mean you can't give them a nice send-off), Halloween and Day of the Dead displays, and tiny vampires. We use ours to store doornails.

It's (16) oz, like these glasses, and like it is everywhere here in the US of A, because Starfleet Command was based in San Francisco. These Star Wars™ pints are wrapped with images of Kylo Ren, Storm Troopers, Captain Phasma with Kylo Ren, and Captain Phasma with Fire Trooper. Starfleet Command also commands that you use no primitive and dangerous 20th Century devices like dishwashers or microwave ovens. But then again, why would you with Star Wars™ collectibles as lovely as these?

Pack more vacuous, because vacuum packing isn't just for coffee, it's for saving storage space for anything soft and squooshable. We suggest this incredible 6-piece variety pack of vacuum-seal storage bags, into which you can stuff pillows and blankets and sweaters and overcoats and stuffed monkeys and any number of other things, then suck out all the air with the enclosed hand pump and watch it shrink by 80% so you can slide it under your bed and forget about it for mold and moth-free years. (OK, it's not a pump, because it sucks, so call it a handy little sucker.) You get 2 small bags 24" x 16", 2 medium bags 28" x 20" and 2 jumbo bags 32" x 24".

These are ultra-strong examination gloves, super grippy for the most slippery jobs. Our high-performance gloves are 9-1/2" long, ambidextrous, single-use, non-sterile, powder-free and very tear-resistant. Each box contains (100) gloves (by weight).
