Think scarecat, like scarecrow. This black cat is an outline cut from sheet metal with green cats’-eye marbles for eyes. Cat’s-eye marbles for eyes! Measures 14” long with the tail x 6-3/4” tall. 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.

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.

Calling all gardeners! You can never have enough eco-friendly garden twine, so here’s a nice 400-foot roll of it. From RapiClip® this Jute Garden Twine is in a garden-friendly dark green, which means it sort of disappears visually. The best news is, since it’s made of jute, one day it actually does disappear.

Our blue plastic shaker bottle stands approx. 10-1/2” tall by 5-1/2" x 4" with a removable screw top for shaking out rock salt or grass seed. Also great as Bigfoot’s salt or pepper shaker.

This just in! Summer’s almost over, Surpies, and that means fall is coming, which means winter is coming, and if the folks of Winterfell would’ve had these heavy duty, reinforced, gray plastic covers, life would have been much easier for them. They’re rounded (the covers, not the Starks) and measure 34” x 30” with a 72” elastic strap and clasp to keep them from blowing all the way down to King’s Landing, or over into your neighbor’s yard. Use the covers to protect your air conditioner, patio furniture, outdoor cooler or fire pit against the elements.

The budding home scientist and horticulturist will both delight in the ease with which this self-contained soil test kit brings discovery. The kit measures not only ph., but also Nitrogen, Phosphate and Potash content and contains material for 40 tests. Since these are the essential ingredients affecting plant nutrition, we see a science project in the making: experimental plant growth in soils with different amounts of acidity and/or nutrients. From Luster Leaf(tm), the kit is entirely self-contained and includes complete instructions for use and explanations. Be careful, please, the kit does have chemicals and should not be used by young children without supervision.

The plants aren’t going to name themselves. These Tall “T” Labels from RapiClip® are for your garden, so you don’t forget what you planted, or what you named the plants. Labels are white, generally T-shaped and 8” tall with a 2-1/2” x 1-3/4” labeling area that looks like a basketball backboard. You’ll get a pack of (10), and when you see how organized your garden is, you’ll probably want another (10).

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?
