Outdoorsy brides-to-be all across America are registering for this BPA-free modular plastic knife/fork/spoon combo. The fork and spoon snap together like a molle buckle, hiding the surprisingly sharp serrated knife inside. Measure 6-1/2” long when together. Our each is a service for (4) in red, blue, orange and green. Camping utensils don’t get any utensiler.

Great little 12VDC oil-less diaphragm style air pump. For you techies out there it draws 40-300mA, 2.0 Litres/min, 350mm Hg max pressure. These are takeouts but in great condition. Outlet port is 5/32". Overall size 2-3/4" x 1-1/16".

From ET Tech, this series 23 liquid micro-pump draws less than 300mA at 4-6VDC (5VDC nominal) with a liter-per-minute flow rate and up to a 3-foot lift. Not submersible, but suitable for hot-water apps and continuous duty. Measures 1" x 1" dia with a barbed 1/4" right-angle outlet and a 3/8" OD inlet on top. Great for fountains!

This small stainless steel fine-mesh filter is 2" dia x 1-1/2" tall. It has fine mesh sides, a solid plastic bottom and slight lip around the top. Nice for small filtering jobs, but would also make a passable basket for a gerbil hoops game.

The mother’s pal. Pop-up Wipes are cute little tablets, like approx 2” dia antacids except when you pop these in water, you get reusable cotton towels. You pick the 3/8” thick tablet that turns into a 12” x 18” towel, or the 1/2” thick ones that become approx 12” x 27” towels.

Whatever you call them they are super handy. Used for suturing, these are carbon-steel straight-locking needle holders, 5” long with narrow serrated 7/16” tips. And yes, you’re permitted to use them for other stuff if you’re not a surgeon. (Or even if you are a surgeon, actually.)

In case you get thirsty while you’re cutting things up, these Titanium coated Westcott workbench scissors have a bottle-opener on the bottom of one blade. They also have a retractable ceramic cutter on one handle. With a safety lock. Plus, the serrated blades are detachable which makes them a great utility knife. Makes other scissors feel bad just looking at them. But wait there's more...

And you can’t lose. Really. Five bucks buys you (4) good quality artists’ paint brushes, 5” to 12” in length, from an extremely assorted collection. You’ll get sable, nylon, ox hair or camel hair, long or short, very fine to very wide, round to flat, in sizes from very fine to very wide, all from Duro Art Industries in Chicago. Gives you something to look forward to.

Camper alert: nothing says temporary water storage like this collapsible translucent PVC water jug. Holds 3-3/4 gallons (15L) and measures 11-1/2” x 10” x 9” when full, but flattens to cargo-pants-pocket size when empty. Includes a 3-3/8” handle, and a screw-on cap/spigot. Would also hold about a case-and-a-half of pinot grigio for bachelorette parties in the woods.

We all screen. And we all need to protect those screens on our expensive little gadgetry. Our each is a pack of (12) clear screen protectors, each a generous 2-15/16" x 2-1/4" x .004" thick. They protect from scratches and reduce glare. Made for the Sony Clié, but easy to cut to fit anything with a screen you want to protect. Made in the USA for Fellowes®.

In nylon digital camo, this military radio bag measures 11" x 12" x 6" with adjustable straps on the side panels to pull them in, another to close the top, and a pair of female molle buckles to attach it to something else. Sew it all together, add a strap and you’ve got a great carry-all. Note openings at bottom corners. For you collectors, it’s marked  "APB03 RADIO POUCH SPM1C1-09-F-C002 8465015158636 F190686393 TAMCN NO. C54402F"

From Brazil, rescued from the guts of quartz crystal antennae, these clear rock crystals are pebble sized (some maybe 3/8" long, most smaller). We're thinking classrooms and microscopes, small jewelry items, or, at these prices, a nice little bowl of crystals for the table. Each small box contains approx 2-1/4 oz of crystals. We'll send you (2) boxes, which will about fill a test tube if combined.

Always be prepared. Even if it's not raining, toss one of these one-size-fits-pretty-much-everybody (they're 61" x 65") assorted colored polyethylene hooded ponchos in the car, another in your backpack, a third in your coat pocket or purse. They're thin, emergency-type protection and come folded up in a packet about 3" x 5" x 1/2" thick. You get (3) because you just can't be too prepared.

So we've got a mountain of 7" long wooden stakes/skewers flying 2" x 2-3/8" red-orange paper flags with a black paw print on each side. Might be a wolverine. Might be a bearcat or coyote. Might be a beagle. Don't start with us, just buy 'em because where can you get (500) of anything for less than nine bucks? Useful on construction sites, for laying out gardens, or holding sandwiches together, especially if you're a University of  Michigan or Cincinnati alum.

"Very interesting," our chief bottle washer said. This 3-1/16" tall x 1-7/16" dia corked glass bottle has a cream-colored rubber coating on the outside and a 15/32" ID mouth, with a little lip like an old-time baby bottle. The coating may make the bottle less likely to break if you drop it, It will certainly make it less likely to scatter shards of glass all over the floor! Holds approx 30ml (1 oz). Now with corks included and perfect for writing special messages on.

Add the glitter of bright, brass-tone aluminum buttons, 9/16" dia, to tops, jeans, purses, backpacks. The buttons are new and convex, with a stationary 1/8" sewing loop on the back, and an embossed star and small hammer and sickle design on the front. All right, so they were from the Soviet military (circa late 1970s). The design is very discreet. And we weren't the ones who had to tear down a wall, so you can consider these the spoils of a cold war. (Lots and lots of spoils. Left-leaning artists who want to cover a giant canvas or Soviet statue with them should call for a volume discount.)

Because sometimes we (and presumably your pet fish) can get tired of all those boring earth tones. Our each is a pack of (20) small translucent acrylic pebbles suitable for, well, whatever pebbles are suited for, including aquariums, floral displays and craft projects. Approx 3/4” long in light blue or dark blue.

Our each here is (5) 5/8” warm white COB LEDs that are insanely bright (think: airport runway) and rated for 200mA at 32VDC. Mounted on PC boards from 3/4” to 1”. Marked for polarity, with solder tabs for power. No lumen rating, but don’t stare at them head-on if you like your retinas because, like we said, they’re awfully bright. And as with all COBs, a heat sink backing is also a good idea.
