Cut your own. Our each is 16 feet of black flexible wire coated with 3/16" dia soft rubber, ready for you to snip off for your heavy-duty, padded twist-tie needs. Very nice stuff. Reusable. We're thinking cable bundling, sports equipments, tools, hoses, like that.

Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed, hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us.  2 AA batteries, not included.

Has a small hole in the upper back, and (2) in the middle feet for mounting, but could also be stuck into the ground. Made to frighten varmints, and while we didn't have any critters to test it on, it did make our copywriter noticeably uncomfortable.

This 16" long x 7" insulated drawstring cooler bag was originally intended as an outdoor faucet socket in frigid climates. Made by 3M it uses their Thinsulate™ technology to keep out the warm or cold. Because of it's size, we think it makes a great cooler bag for the beach, camping, office, school...should we continue? Fits plenty of beverages at a time and how about a sandwich, chips and thermos. Wow, who knew?

The pot has no drainage, so maybe make some paper flowers to put in it. For ages 3+.

Even when it’s not measuring precipitation, it’s still an angel outside your house.

This is such a nice little set of (3) galvanized metal pots with a matching tray that we’re sure it’ll galvanize some Surpies into growing plants.
