These clear, flexible plastic 5-1/2 oz tapered cups are perfect for mixing paints for students or crafters, but then they're perfect for a lot of things—tastings of all sorts, mise en place cups for cooks, sorting small items, or anything else cupable. Plus, the price is extremely right. Our each is a bag of (50) cups.

Just like (pretty much) the old steel ammo can GIs carried, and then carried home to their garage workshops, but in olive drab or black plastic, which doesn’t rust. Measures 11" x 7" x 5" with a gasketed flip-up lid, 3” latch and a 5-1/4” folding handle on top. Weighs in at a little over a pound.

Please Note: Our current stock is black and not sure when olive drab will be back.

You don't have to send money to your local public TV station to get these better-than-your-average tote bags.

You pick: the lime green and black one is cotton canvas and measures 15" x 14" with a 4"-wide gusset on the bottom and a 9” deep x 8” wide pocket on the side; or the extra-heavy cotton one in white with an even heavier red canvas bottom, measuring 17" x 14" x 7” wide with a pair of 24” leather handles.

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.

We'll pick one in red, black, lime green or royal blue.

In the lab or kitchen, these clear borosilicate glass mugs have a handle and lip and remind you that science is part of your every day.

The snazzy part is the metallic-toned bottoms. These nylon pouches are 6" deep x 3-3/4" lined and lightly padded.

Be More Vacuous! At least pack more vacuous, because vacuum packing isn't just for coffee, it's for saving storage space for anything soft and squooshable. We suggest this 5-pack of 20" x 28" medium vacuum-seal storage bags, into which you can stuff pillows and blankets and sweaters and overcoats and stuffed monkeys and any number of other things, then suck out all the air with the enclosed hand pump and watch it shrink by 80% so you can slide it under your bed and forget about it for mold and moth-free years. (OK, it's not a pump, because it sucks, so call it a handy little sucker.) Also dandy for travel because the little sucker doesn't take up much space, so you can shrink your return laundry too--and keep it hermetically sealed.

When the box is shut, a layer of foam padding inside the lid presses down on the canisters, keeping them securely closed.
