CONTAINERS

This isn't a book, but it's definitely book-ish. Looks like a leather-bound volume from the Bodleian but it's just a little wooden box, approx 8-1/2" x 5" x 2" (7" x 3-7/8" x 1-5/8" inside) that's perfect for stashing the jewels, cash, or whatever you need to stash in plain sight on the shelves.

Yes they, do. Neither Man nor Woman lives by retro hipster vinyl alone. This binder-style CD book holds (24) discs in back-to-back pages with an orange and translucent cover. Comes in an equally translucent sleeve so the CDs don't fall all over the floor of the car you have that still has a CD player.

We’ve all been there, scrambling to clear dolls and blocks from the disaster zone that used to be a living room before company arrives. No more! The Aubliss® toy storage basket doubles as a 55” dia playmat, so when the Franklins or Millers knock and playtime is over, simply pull on the drawstring handles! The mat will magically fold and stow away into a tidy 13-1/2” toy-storage cube. What mess, right? Made of sturdy Oxford cloth and polyester, with a handle on top. Now if only they made one for the kids themselves! We jest.

In soft poly-foam and a pretty powder blue color, we think this case was made for standard smart phones, although goodness knows you could keep any number of things in it. (Badness probably knows that, too.) Measuring 6” x 3-1/2” x approx 3/8”, it has a slot with black piping 1-1/2” from the top, and a small tab at the top corner with a removable, silver carabiner on it.

Rejoice, we have finally found a source of reasonably priced borosilicate lab glassware. This is the kind of glass in the trade marked Pyrex(tm) and Kimax(tm) labware. The stuff you can put right over the flame of the Bunsen burner, or directly onto the hot plate. This stuff is imported from China, and is considered student grade, which is good enough for anything but the most exotic applications. We have beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders and flasks. Compare the prices below and you will see that they are around half the U.S. equivalent. Call us for larger quantity prices.

Please Note: Physical sizes may vary slightly due to vendor and Mfg changes. Call or email for more info. 

By all means—spritz. This classic plastic spritzer/sprayer bottle is clear, holds (1) fluid oz, and has a black spritzer plunger with nice action. Also has a clear snap-on cap. Bottle stands 4-1/4" tall overall x 1" dia. Make your own perfume or air freshener, or do something artsy. You’ll get (8) of them.

These satin-finish zipper bags have a vinyl interior and measure 20” long x 10” tall x 4” wide when you open the gusset on the bottom. Sort of the proportions of a giant pencil holder. Made for some specific purpose that nobody has shared with us, but think giant clutch bags, travel organizers, dressy briefcases or cash deposit bags to impress your bank. We'll pick one in red, black, lime green or royal blue.

Crafts and repairs are made much easier with an applicator bottle. This translucent 20ml/.68-oz plastic bottle with a screw-cap that has a 1-1/2" long x 1/32" dia dispenser needle with a protective cap.

Who doesn’t love a nice round tin? Ours is 3-1/2" dia x 2" tall in assorted colors—matte paint on the outside and shiny white on the inside. Each tin also has a clear plastic lid so you can see what you’ve tinned away. As colorful tins go, these are some mighty nice ones.

Sometimes you need a hammer, and sometimes you need a fly swatter. Behold the fly swatter of backpacks—inexpensive, lightweight and extremely effective. Measures approx 16” tall x 12” wide x 5” deep with padded, adjustable straps, a full interior compartment and a zippered pocket on the outside back. We’ve got ’em in basic blue and basic black, and we’ll pick the one on top of the pile for you.

The smartest among us in these days of closed bars and bites as far as the eye can see will carry a little hip flask for emergencies. This one is a standard 8-ouncer in stainless steel with a matte black finish. Measures 5-3/4" x 3-1/2" x 1" thick, and given the number of emergencies you could encounter, we recommend a pair because, after all, you do have two hips.

This clear glass, 8-oz decanter with a glass-topped stopper that has a plastic plug is one classy bottle. Measures approx 3-1/4” across at its widest, 2-1/2” deep at its deepest, and 5-3/4” tall, minus the stopper, which adds another 1-1/2”. Kind of oval shaped with a 1” wide neck, like something you’d see in a movie that involved perfumes or potions. From the Marilyn Miglin brand, if that means anything to you, and we’ll send you (2) of them.

These watertight aluminum screw-top canisters are gasketed, lined in nylon and come with a 1" slip ring to attach to whatever. Measure just over 2-1/2" tall x 1-1/8" dia, so they're suitable for a lot of pills or any number other things you need to keep dry or safe. We'll pick one in black, red, gold, blue or green.

Well, that's what the manufacturer says, but the bag doesn't say anything, and we're pretty confident it doesn't know if you use it for basketball, picnics, or even the dreaded Pilates. Measures 20" x 15" x 8" in soft polyester with a removable interior zippered pouch, open front pocket, and a handle attached to double straps that you could slide a yoga mat into if you had a yoga mat. Comes in assorted colors, and we'll pick one that'll match your eyes. Cheap at four times the price.

Who’s an old bag? Watch your mouth. What we have around here are young plastic bags with clear complexions and tight zipper closures. Sizes range from itty bitty to sizable and spacious, so be sure to stock up on all of them! Each of the bags are 2 mils. Our each is a bag of 100 bags. Just pick the size you like! Please note that the exact size can vary, usually smaller, due to the manufacturing process.

It just ain't gonna spill the beads. Or the fishhooks, or screws, or whatever you're storing in the 7-1/2" x 5" x 1-1/2" deep Store-in-It box. The translucent-plastic box with (1) 3-1/2" x 1-1/4" and (10) 1-3/4" x 1-1/2" compartments has a hinged lid that not only snaps shut, it has an extra little security latch. Rounded bottoms in the compartments make it easy to pluck out even the smallest items.

These nice clear glass jars hold 240ml (a tad more than 8 oz) and measure 4” tall x 2-1/4” square, with rounded corners and shoulders. Screw cap is a dark olive green. Opening ID is 1-3/4”. Line 'em up and put spices in them, is what we think. Also great for craft supplies like glitter, beads and rubber bands, and workshop essentials, like screws, nuts and washers.

Eye dropper, tongue dropper, test tube dropper, petri dish dropper, anywhere dropper. Use this 3" glass dropper, with a rubber squeeze bulb to drop small amounts of liquid wherever you think they should go. You will have to measure by counting drops, though, because there are no markings on it. Also, it is called "3" because that is about how long the glass tube is. Overall, it is 4" long.
