Your diary—that’s for you, but sometimes you want the world to see your message. That’s when you call on this giant. Our chisel-tip marker from Art Skills®, the latest in B.A.M. technology (Big Area Marker, it says so on the package), 6” long and 1-3/32” wide and the tip measures 3/4” tall x 1/4" wide. Designed for writing big words—not like “recalcitrant” and “contumacious”, but big in size for signs and posters. The ink is black, and washable, comes off most clothing and your skin, but might require a couple washings or a good soaking. We trust you can keep the ink on the signs, though.

From EVEO, this UL listed (50)-pack of 12" long, 1/4” wide black nylon cable zip ties comes in a sturdy, reusable zip-bag. You know EVEO—the zip tie experts?

Can’t we all just get along and share a drink?

Three words: Starsky and Hutch. You’re either thinking of that sweet red car with the white swoosh or the flashing light they stuck on the roof for hot pursuits. We don’t sell cars, but we have a 12VDC flashing amber LED with a magnetic base for the roof of a tow truck. Okay, it’s not a police light, but it’s still cool. Measures approx 4" x 4" with a 12-foot coiled cord that you plug into your vehicle’s cigarette plug. We’re not saying you should pursue anyone hotly, but if you need a safety light that you can put up and take down without scratching your paint, here it is.

Teaching a kid how to manage time—hey, that’s up to you—but this wind-up clock kit teaches kids the basic mechanical principles of gears and pendulums. Clock has a clear body, approx 7-3/4” dia x 1” deep with a 1/2” tall base, and individually colored gears for easy identification. It’s spring-driven, so no batteries are needed. Bell "dings" in 15-minute intervals. Tweaking the pendulum mounting, and tuning it, takes a little focus. Ages 6-10. ! WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD–Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.

Our squeezy emoji faced eggs are foam, cute and cuddly—perfect for lightening the mood in any office! They come in a nice (6)-pack carton, and they’re a little bigger than regular-sized eggs. Squeeze or toss them to relieve stress, or simply to participate in general merriment since they all have faces with wacky expressions. Just don’t hard-boil them. They don’t like that. Squish 'em all day long, though. They love that! The best part? No shells to clean up.

Looking for the perfect accent to offset those paratrooper fatigues or tactical pants that aren’t nearly as flattering as you’d imagined? This black belt will turn the other foot soldiers green with envy! It’s nylon, 1-1/2" wide x 57" long, with “ribs” every 1/8" for your pleasure. Or for a secure hold. Probably for a secure hold. The non-metallic pull-through buckle makes for quick clearance at security checkpoints. It’s ISO certified, designed to carry gear, and has a built-in belt loop for added security. Cut it to suit your figure. Just make sure to melt or epoxy the new end to keep it from unravelling.

We hate having to hold onto a towel or rag. So much gripping power required! We jest, but putting on this microfiber detailing mitt and polishing away is a lot more enjoyable than dealing with rags and towels. Made of ultra-soft blue microfiber with a white elastic cuff, it’s a mitten—sort of like an oven mitt—designed specifically for cleaning and polishing. At 11” long x 7-1/2” wide at the thumb, one size fits most hands, and how many towels can say that? Machine washable, lint-free & super absorbent. Get a pair and do the double-polish on your blinds, furniture, knick-knacks and more.

Here’s a nice little flame-shaped, dimmable LED bulb that’ll give you 25K hours of light with a cool flame effect. Has an E12 Candelabra Screw base (12mm) and at a mere 5W it pushes out the equivalent of 40W and 360 Lumen. Light color is 2700K, which is a warm white flamish shade. Made of plastic, the bulb stands about 4-1/2” tall. From Infinite Energy Solutions it’s EnergyStar rated. You can’t make s’mores with it, but it also won’t burn anything down.

Look, no promises if your pool springs a leak, but this waterproof tape actually works under water. Measures 4" wide, and you’ll get 5 feet of it, in understated black. Adheres to plastic, metal, wood, plaster, concrete, glass and the proverbial "more," and makes a flexible seal. Best of all, you won’t even have to suffer through a tacky infomercial to get a roll. UV-, temperature- and weather-resistant.

We used to cut social studies to hang in metal shop, so of course we love this Bellota professional-grade cutting disc. You will, too, if you’re into cutting metal, which is what this beast was born to do. Measures 7” dia x 1/16” thick with a 7/8” hub. Max rpm is 8600, and the part number is 50320-180, which we think is also the grit of the cutter.

Our earbuds/keychain/stylus combo looks like a plastic money clip that you flip open to get at the included, wrapped-up, tangle-free earbuds (with a standard jack). Clip also has a stylus on one end, and measures approx 3" long x 1" wide x 1/2" thick with a 1” chain and a 1” dia metal split ring. In black, but some have a dash of green or blue. We’ll pick you a good one.

This hand-held LED lantern is nothing like the hand-held lantern in the gatefold of your vintage Led Zeppelin IV album cover, and that’s good because this one doesn’t require oil and a wick. It’s also waterproof up to 1m and IPX7-rated. Shaped like a flashlight measuring 10” x 6” x 3”, this lantern throws (1000) lumens of light and has (4) modes: max and low power, emergency flashing and regular flashlight. Requires (6) "AA" batteries, which are included, so you can take it to California for a misty mountain hop with a black dog immediately. (Zep IV references, for all you Air Supply fans.) Hey, everybody needs a good LED multi-mode lantern.

Paul went out to the warehouse and almost picked up a pallet jack with this monster 2” square 100-lb pull retrieving magnet from Magnet Source®. Painted red it stands 2-3/4” high with a 1” dia (5/8” ID) eyebolt screwed and bolted into the top, and has welded steel construction to protect and focus the ceramic magnets inside. Includes (2) magnetic shields that you remove before use. Attach a rope or chain to the eyebolt to retrieve or hang heavy items, or use to hold/position hoses or wiring temporarily. Also good for plucking stuff out of rivers and other waterways when the fish aren’t biting.

This leather German police strap with punched holes, quality stitching and a metal buckle looks like a belt for a very small person. Or maybe a stylish, tan collar for a very large dog. When we looked up “leather strap” in the original Deutsch, thinking this thing couldn’t possibly be for a waist or neck, we got “Lederarmband,” which means “leather bracelet.” Anyone who can wear this 25” long x 1” wide strap around their wrist—or even their arm—is someone we don’t want to mess with. Same goes for that dog.

We’re into hygiene around here (it’s the Science in us), and if we didn’t already have foot grabs on our restroom doors, we’d be installing these in a hot second. They look like little soap dishes, with up-pointing serrated edges. Made of 14-gauge silver/grey powder-coated steel and include (5) #10, 1-1/2” long stainless-steel screws. Attach the 5” x 2” back to the bottom of a door, set your foot on 3-1/8” wide x 3-1/4” long toothed platform and gently pull. Way easier than it seems. Made in USA.

We love to guess what our bottles were designed and built for, and these look like they might have been born to hold BBQ sauce, or maybe salad dressing. They’re clear glass and round, approx 3” dia at the bottom and 7” tall overall with a 2” tall neck that’s 1” dia. Also have quick-closing metal lug caps. They hold 425ml and we’ll send you (4) of them.

These are very nice (48)-page cardboard-bound notebooks with themes and some unobtrusive notes/formats that will be easy to ignore if you’re not into the subject, but twice as nice if you are.

It’s a box, it’s a little folding bin, it’s something you’ll find dozens of uses for. Measures 8" x 6" x 5-1/2" in black leatherette with a removable hard bottom. When folded, it shrinks down to 8" x 5-1/2" and basically flat. When open, fill it with remotes, your keys, wallet, phone, glasses or any number of things. A bunch of them lined up on a shelf look real nice and classy.

The 5/32” bore in the center of this small plated neodymium magnet just makes it easier to mount. Measures 3/4" dia x 1/4" thick with a pull of approx 7 lbs. Works great with #6 or #8 flat head screws.

Want to run a really big shell game? You'll need a big bunch of shells, and you've come to the right place. These are all real, and clean as a whistle, or whatever else is that clean. You pick: the bag of approx (110) nutmeg snail shells measuring 1” give or take a tad—periwinkle shells with nutmeg-colored dashes spiraling around the shell; or the bag of approx (40) murex snail shells, the traveling homes of largish, predatory sea snails that run 2” to 4” long with a bunch of nasty-looking spikes, a few of which may have chipped off. But that’s the be expected, right?

This zippered, padded, 11" x 10" x 3-1/2" dark gray bag from Tuff ’Nuff is so nice, and so unusual, it’s got us a little flummoxed. Not really, we just wanted to write “flummoxed.” But everything else is true—it’s a heck of a nice bag. Shaped vaguely like an oversized canteen or flask, and made out of a coarse material that feels kind of like canvas, it has a black double-pull zipper running all around it, and a small nylon handle on top. The inside is nicely padded with a cream-colored foam that feels tough enough not to easily tear. Made in Montana, USA.

Nothing says crafts like genuine Styrofoam™ balls-older than glue guns, more fun than a barrel of sequins-and you can't have too many. Our handy assortment contains (4) 1", (2) 1.5" and (2) 2" balls which sounds like a do-it-yourself solar system if you ask me.

Excellent heavy stretch knit elastic looking for a crafter or tailor to give it a home. Won't weaken over time, after washing and drying, or with needlework, which makes it the choice for face masks or anything else that needs to retain its stretchability. In black nylon polyester, it measures 1/4” wide on a 300-foot spool.

Once upon a time, Billy threw his favorite sweater in the dryer and now it's a perfect fit for his troll doll. He could have just hung it out to dry, but then it would have come down to his knees.

Still looking for glow-in-the-dark slime in a container a little bigger than a classic plastic film canister? Well, you just found it!

We gotta stay, we love a nice water bottle. This one is made of brushed stainless steel and holds (27) oz. Stands 10-1/2” tall x 3” dia at the base. Mouth is 2” dia, with no sharp edges, and the black cap (with either a green or blue accent), had a nice, comfortable finger loop. Screws closed and seals easily, too. Best four bucks you’ll spend this year. Wash it by hand and keep it out of the microwave, but you already knew that.

Not if you store them in this double produce basket with wide-open bottoms to let air circulate and prevent mushy fruit. In bright chrome, it measures 14-3/4" x 14-1/4" x 11" tall with a 10” x 9” top basket and an 11” x 11” bottom. Both baskets swing, like banana hammocks, and we know how much bananas like to swing. Kiwis and green peppers, too. Half the retail price, and no need to thank us. A tiny bit of assembly required.

Invasion from space. Our each is (2) packs of (2) sets each of Space Invadery pixilated decals, including a sheet of (12) at 5/8” to 3” and a sheet of (18) from 3/8” dia to 4-1/2” x 1/2”, including a bunch of beeps, blips and 0101s.

Bolt one of the (3) included hole punch attachments—all small but with differing depths—onto the flexible metal arm, put the punchee underneath, and give the arm a smack. The arm is mounted on an 11” long x 1-1/2” wide x 3/4” thick base, which will be, for reasons mysterious, in a floral or butterfly pattern. We'll pick.
