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.

One thing we know for sure about this olive drab belt with a gunmetal gray molle buckle: it was made in China. We think it might be genuine military surplus, and where better for the Chinese military to make their stuff than in China? But we can’t be 100-percent positive it was made for soldiers. It sure looks and feels “military” to us. Has a nice commie star on the buckle, along with a symbol that looks Chinese enough to be Chinese. Expands to fit a 48” waist, and is 2” wide. We’ve seen them called “Chinese Pistol Belts,” but whatever they are, they’re awfully attractive. Ours have a little wear, as if they’ve been sitting in a wet Chinese warehouse, and you may see some corrosion on the eyelets, but we promise, they’re new.

No reason to look tacky in the O.R. This medium blue (call it French blue) washable surgical gown is made of Rotecno polyester (a lightweight waterproof but breathable medical fabric) with a slightly rubberized feel.

Made in USA.

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.

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.

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.

From the Chinese military, this olive drab canvas recon chest rig is made for carrying SKS rounds. We think it’d also be great for fishing lures, balloons (if you’re a balloon artist or a water-balloon tosser), various nails and screws, bolts and washers and probably a hundred other uses. Business part measures 24" wide x 5-3/4" with (6) 4-1/4” deep pockets, (2) at 2” wide and (4) at 1-1/2” wide, all with flaps that close with little plastic clips. Has 4 holders for items in the 7" long range. (Photo shows 7" long tubes inserted) Fits via adjustable crossed shoulder straps and a buckle. We also think it would hold a nice assortment of snacks for hands-free hiking.

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!

Comes without a plug but with 15” leads ready to be hardwired into a 12VDC source, as in a standard automobile. The (15) white LEDs inside the green cover will flash, but if green's not your color, the plastic dome unscrews so you can easily repurpose it for your own DIY use.

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.

Looks like a standard neck pillow, in soft nylon and filled with gooshy foam beads, but press the little button on the right side once for a vibra-massage and twice for a faster vibra-massage.

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.

OK, pay attention. This is a plug-in nightlight with red, green and blue LEDs that shift through a 2” dia prism while a small speaker plays lullabies via a recordable micro SD card.

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.
