It’s back. Once upon a carnival, the bamboo back scratcher was the prize every kid came home with and there wasn’t an unscratched back in America--unless the kid came home with a goldfish, which are worthless for scratching backs.

Imagine 1” dia test tubes with a pair of tiny holes drilled opposite each other approx 5/8” from the top. Or don't imagine them, just look at the picture. We don't think they're borosilicate glass, but we could be wrong. Doesn't matter to us anyway, because we just use them to put flowers in and hang in the windows from monofilament. Clever crafters will no doubt create dozens of other uses. We know because Surpie crafters show us their craftiness. Our each is a pack of (12). Clear glass, and you pick the 4” or 6” long tubes.

We don't know if this is a specialty-use tape for a specialty we've never heard of, or just a beautiful mistake.

We sound like your mother, don't we? Well, she was right, you should hang up your coat, even when you’re in your car. The Auto Coat Valet is a stainless steel hanger made so you can safely drape your jacket from it instead of putting it on the hook above the back door so it can block your vision or fall on the floor and be all wrinkled when you get wherever you're going.

You can do both with this non-functioning, fake electrical outlet that’s actually a small safe. Looks like an ordinary off-white outlet, but has a 7" x 2" x 2-1/4" cavity in back. Swap out a real outlet, or use the teensy drywall saw that’s included and make a new bogus one anywhere you like. This one even takes plugs for further verisimilitude. We suggest putting a burnt-out bulb in the lamp you plug into this outlet to fool the smarter burglars. Always work at least one step ahead.

This is one smart emergency flashlight. Like Kent Clark/Superguy, this 6” long mild-mannered flashlight charges by day and springs into action at night. Pull it out of the base, and you’ve got a 150 and 300 lumen COB LED flashlight ready to vanquish the darkness. Plus, there are magnets in the bottom so you can stick it to ferrous surfaces. Or leave it in the base and it stands guard as a motion and light-activated nightlight, which is great any time, but you’ll really appreciate it during power outages.
