You knead this. Actually it kneads you. The Mynt Cordless Shiatsu Massager is heated for extra self-indulgence. Set the controls, drape it over your neck and shoulders and pull/relax it to control the depth of the massage and meet the demands of your unmet kneads. (OK, we’ll stop that.) Has (8) modes with adjustable heat, rotation and speed and runs for approx 1-1/2 hours on a single charge, by which time you’ll be asleep anyway. Some light home-office experimenting confirms that it works well on arms, legs and especially lower backs, but the boss wouldn’t let us try it on feet. Pre-Priced $79.99

A lovely mini-funnel, made for pouring Dad's special medicine into a hip flask, but just dandy for filling salt and pepper shakers or anything else with a little yap. Stainless steel with a 1-3/8" ID intake mouth and a 5/16" ID outlet. 1-7/8" tall OA.

Let's cut to the chase here -- buy these the first time you read this, or they're going to be gone! There aren't that many of these flexible chopping mats, and the versatile 15" x 12" x 0.024" thick mats are not only ideal for small kitchens where every inch counts, they're great for any kitchen, and for cookouts, camping and picnics. Our each is a set of (2) of the translucent Euro-look mats that protect countertops from sharp knives and fresh-from-the-oven cookies, and protect food from outdoor surfaces. They can be lifted and slightly folded to funnel chopped food neatly into a pot. They're dishwasher safe, and roll up for portage or storage.

The smart cutters and choppers these days are using ceramic knives because they stay so sharp for so long, and who remembers to have their knives sharpened? Ours measure 7" long over all, with a red, green, or deep aqua handle, a 3" blade and a sheath. Don't go into the kitchen without one. Slice, dice, chop and mince, and forget about sharpening. Like you always do.

These silicone hot pads double as trivets or oven mitts. Measure 7-1/8" dia x 3/16" thick with 1/4" honeycomb indentations to further dissipate heat, plus a 3/8” hole near the edge so you can hang them up. We’ll pick one in red, blue, green or orange, and you can redecorate your kitchen to match. They also double as the world’s safest frizbees.

Trouble keeping your geologic eras straight? We feel your Paleozoic pain. This colorful 12-oz ceramic mug has a graphic timeline wrapped around it illustrating the Pre-Cambrian era up through Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic periods. And if you’re a good geology student, and finish all your coffee, you’ll see an impression of a trilobite fossil in the bottom of the cup. Microwave and dishwasher safe.

Our hand-held knife and scissors sharpener has a pair of tungsten carbide heads pre-set at the correct angle for keeping an edge on things. Just rest the blade in the notch and pull. Pistol-grip style with a guard, in black plastic. Measures 6" x 5/8" wide, with reversible and replaceable carbide cutting heads.

Our most colorful measuring set, and the most nestingest. The (6) pieces snap together and stay together until you push up from below on the handles. The scoops include: 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup. 1/4 cup, 1 tbsp, and 1/2 tbsp--in aqua, purple, pink, yellow, green and orange in the same order. And they’re BPA-free.

Four fine funnels, a fantastic fare. Sturdy plastic, the biggest is 4-1/8" dia at the mouth, with a 1/2" dia spout, the smallest has a 1-7/8" dia mouth, 1/4" spout. The other (2) are in between. Frankly, it's freaky fun flowing fluids from four funnels!

Konvenient for kamping! And kramped kitchen kabinets! These nesting, collapsible silicone and plastic bowls are made for campers but they work great at home, too, particularly for apartment-dwellers, whose space is precious. In gray and powder blue. You’ll get an 8” dia x 5” deep bowl, a 7” dia x 3-3/4” deep bowl, and a 7-1/2” x 4-1/2” deep colander. Smoosh them down and they turn into one 11” wide (counting handles) x 2-1/2” deep nest. Pay no attention to the temperature misprint on the package; these bowls are good for up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
