This (1,000)-piece puzzle from Kikkerland® is of a classic labyrinth, itself a puzzle, and all of a sudden we feel like we’re looking into a mirror facing a mirror, or at an M.C. Escher drawing. Puzzle comes in pleasing shades of green and white, and when you’re done, it’ll measure 27” x 20”. Then, you’ll probably want to figure out the path through the labyrinth because that’s just how you Surpies roll.

Standard digital thermometers for people never go out of style. Place this one under the tongue or armpit (or you know where else…eeyeww), and you’ll get a quick, Fahrenheit or Celsius digital read-out. Beeps when it’s ready and has last memory recall and a storage sheath for the tip. Also turns off automatically when you forget, which you might do if you’re running a fever. See how worth it this is? At this price, you might as well buy (2). Just remember which one’s for under the tongue and which one’s for somewhere else.

These Night Angel deluxe outlet covers are more than just your standard, run of the mill, white plastic covers. What we have here is a 3-pack that replaces standard 2-outlet covers and have...wait for it...wait for it...3-LED night lights built into the bottom of the cover. Powered by the outlet itself, these glow a gentle white light while lighting your path so you don't trip on the dog or step on a Lego. (Been there, done that). Lasts over 100,000 hours and each has a built in light sensor to automatically turn off in the daylight. Remove outlet cover plate, slide Night Angel Deluxe in its place. The two metal tabs make contact with the outlets screws. Presto instant light. Work best with verticle outlets. While these are simple to install, a little working electrical knowledge helps.

The strip is self-adhesive, 3/8" wide with (238) flat LEDs capable of (16) colors, (1) color at a time. A floor-mount power supply plugs into the wall, and into a control box with buttons for color, speed and mode/demo.

Yes, you can daisy-chain two strips together for twice the fabulousness, and yes, you can cut the strip anywhere you like if the fabulousness is just a little too long. The box says Bluetooth compatible, but we found the app not very reliable and phone/tablet compatibility is unknown but we like the remote control better anyway.

Don’t let anyone accuse you of having a cold heart, even if you do have cold hands.

Every now and then in life you need a Dial Drop Indicator—you know, to indicate your dial drops.

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.

Galileo wasn’t just a character in a Queen song. He invented stuff, like this early thermometer, uncreatively named Galileo’s Thermometer.

Riffler files are most prized by sculptors, wood carvers, model makers and similar fashioners of precision objects. They come in a variety of flat, round and triangular shapes. They are usually pointed and always have a delicate curve toward the point which makes them particularly useful for working in tight and curvy spots. We have a set of (10) in an attractive red plastic case. They are 3 x 180 mm size (about 7"), and were made in China for the King Manufacturing Co. Very nice quality at a very nice price.

When temperatures dip, we’re reminded of the only phrase we can still remember from freshman Latin class: semper ubi sub ubi. Literally, that’s: always where under where, and damn if we can remember the word for “long” because we just got a whole Roman empire’s worth of snug-fitting, long-sleeve thermal tops and thermal top/bottom sets in all the popular sizes—you know, waffle shirts—to fend off the harshness of winter. They’re 65/35 cotton/poly, so expect some shrinkage and plan accordingly. They run small and fit tight so, Pat is a size large so he buys X-large. In white and cream/beige, like a nice warm cup of coffee or cappuccino.

Our each is a box of (4) including (1) each with yellow chrysanthemums, yellow daffodils, rose, purple and yellow tulips, and rose and purple somethings which we think may sort of be pansies.
