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.

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...

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.

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.

This 2” dia x approx 3/4” thick disc holds a retractable 1/4" wide, 60” long vinyl tape measure inside. Marked in 1/16” increments, it has 150mm, in 1mm increments, on the other. Has stop clicks and push-button rewind, and is on a 1” chain with a very cute 1-1/2” carabiner for attaching it to a key chain. In white and translucent neon colors, which we’ll select for you because in your busy life who has the time?

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.

Faux leopard-skin, among others. And from faux animals in a wide variety of non-animal colors, like green and fuchsia. Perfect for the senorita flirting at a post-modern bullfight, these accordion-style folding fans have plastic frames that hold accordioned cloth with a top edge of black lace because they’re for flirting, remember? Measure approx 9” long and open to 13”. We’ll pick the colors because we have really good taste.

Just our little joke from our senior copywriter, who likes this red-leather trimmed combo bookmark and magnifier, so you can find your place and read it too. Measures 6-1/4" x 2" x 1/8" with a 1.5X fresnel lens embedded in it. Has a little tab on top if you want to hang it somewhere, too.

Actually no, but you know what adhesive tape is, don’t you? You’ll get (2) rolls of it here, waterproof white cloth medical tape, 2” wide x .011” thick on 10-yard rolls. Made in the USA, to bandage American owies.
