So...it's the Zip-a-dee-doo-dad, a set of (3) replacement zipper tabs/sliders in graduated sizes (#3, #5, and #7) that come apart so you can slip then onto a zipper and tighten them with a little thumbscrew. Handy for busted jackets and sleeping bags. Even handier for pants. Removeable and re-usable.

For when you just can't drag yours around anymore? No, for out-of-sight cigarette butt and ash disposal. This mini-bucket, sans handle, is a 3-1/4" dia x 3-7/8" tall black-composition ashtray that can sit on a desk or table, or fit neatly into a car's cup holder. Its removable lid has (3) slots to hold lit cigarettes and a small, cigarette-diameter hole so the butts slide out of sight and go out for lack of oxygen. Cuts down ambient dead-butt odors, too.

Life, and needle-threading, is hard enough, so this little tailor's friend has a 3/32" loop with a white LED below it so you can see what you’re doing. Includes a pair of button-cell batteries and the threader has a cover plus a little hook so you can string it on something and find it in your sewing box.

In case you get thirsty while you’re cutting things up, these Titanium coated Westcott scissors have a bottle-opener on the bottom of one blade.

But wait there's more...

You'll get (10) mats, at least (2) different kinds, from a selection of (4) Kung Fu Panda illustrations and (1) rogue The Penguins of Madagascar illustration because who could eat with pandas every night?

We’re fascinated by this thing. It’s a collapsible Red-Riding-Hoodish dispan/basket for your sink and beyond, with solid gray plastic rim, base and folding picnic-basket style handles, plus silicone sides in fashionable chartreuse. Measures 15" x 11" x 5-5/8" when open but collapses down to just 1-1/2” high for storage. Could also be a very nostalgic shopping basket, dandy for collecting garden vegetables. Hose-off-able and pretty much niftiness itself. Holds water like a champ and is great for camping.

Optometrical fans will appreciate the small eye chart on the lid of this 2-1/2” x 3-5/8” x 1-1/4” tin, but they’ll see the light with the contents: a 1/2 oz spray bottle of cleaning fluid; a microfiber cloth; and a tiny eye-glasses-sized screwdriver on a 7/8” split ring.
