There are no flies on him, our British Uncle Rupert used to say about our cousin Roger. That’s because Roger never went anywhere without a colorful plastic fly swatter like this one, 6” x 7” and hand-shaped, which was perfect for him because he also loved bidding at estate auctions in the Cotswolds. Handle is about 6-1/2” long, so the whole thing is 13-1/2”, but it telescopes out to a staggering 30” for hard-to-reach flies and antiques you absolutely can’t leave without! We’ll pick one in red, blue or chartreuse.

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.

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.

One of our all-time favorite items, back in neon colors. These surprisingly sturdy fly-swatters have plastic grip-handles, mesh heads and extendability. Measure 10-1/4” long when compressed, but pull the 4-draw handle and they extend to a fly-smacking 28”. Yours will be bright yellow, lime green, fuchsia or orange, but they’re all attractive, and the flies won’t care.

With justifiable pride, we offer for your consideration this set of fingernail and toenail clippers shaped like the appendage they're designed for. Keep these in your medicine cabinet and you'll never again suffer the heartbreak of inappropriate clipper application. In carbon steel with precision cutting blades, they measure 2” x 7/8” and 3-1/4” x 3/4”, hand and foot respectively.

No one likes drinking tea in the dark, which is why we’re offering this (2)-pack of wax-free, battery-operated, cool-to-the-touch decorative LED tea lights, aka votive candles. This way, you’ll never have to sip in the dark again. Your Earl Grey thanks you. Lights measure 1-3/4" from their plastic bottoms to their flame tips. On-off switch hidden on the bottom. Button cell batteries included.

OdorOuters. StinkSuckers. We like those names better than remodeez®, the charcoal remedy that “Outsmarts Smell,” but they work like magic. Activated charcoal is non-toxic, non-chemical, and really does remove odors and moisture. Perfect for the laundry pile, closets, gym lockers, storage bins, cars, boats, camping gear, backpacks—anywhere musty, chemical and all-too-human odors proliferate. You pick the pair of 3-1/2” dia purple circles, the 4” x 5” light-blue oval, or the 4” x 5” dark-blue rectangle.

So why can't you ever find one? Put a stop to that with this clear plastic storage box with (100) steel safety pins: (50) at 1-1/8"; (25) at 1-1/4"; and (25) at 1-1/2". Your grandmother would be proud of you.

Or go ahead and sew them on your underwear—it’s none of our business! This very slick (31)-piece sewing kit from Living Solutions™ comes in a hard-plastic travel case, 8” x 2-1/2" x 1-1/2” (like an eyeglasses case), and includes all your favorites: folding scissors, seam ripper, super glue, measuring tape, (4) buttons, (6) pre-threaded needles, (6) straight pins, (10) safety pins and…a thimble. Duh.

You can do both with this non-functioning, fake electrical outlet that’s actually a small safe. Looks like an ordinary off-white outlet, but has a 7" x 2" x 2-1/4" cavity in back. Swap out a real outlet, or use the teensy drywall saw that’s included and make a new bogus one anywhere you like. This one even takes plugs for further verisimilitude. We suggest putting a burnt-out bulb in the lamp you plug into this outlet to fool the smarter burglars. Always work at least one step ahead.
