mon-KEYS!!! Get it... monkey face key covers! Who wouldn't like laughing everytime they have to unlock the door, and who could resist a giggle with these cuties on your keys?

website says:
MonKEYS

quit monkeying around with all those look-alike keys - pop a perky primate on top! MonKEYS are stretchable durable covers that fit over almost any shape key, adding a playful touch to a normally ho-hum object.

You can even give 'em names. We call ours Cheeky, Che, Kong, Darwin, Spank, and Bob.

Set of six.

Waspinator®

Updated Mar 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I want to know if this works! It looks like a great simple way to deter wasps from taking up residence at your house.

website says:
One of the easiest ways to discourage wasps from hanging around your porch, patio or picnic site is by using this simple mock wasp nest. Because wasps are territorial, they recognize the nest as a hazard to avoid.

Made from lightweight, recycled polyester fabric, it has an integral hanging loop and measures 12" high. In our tests we found it deterred wasps, including yellow jackets, up to 20' away. You may need two or more to cover large areas.

A great alternative to conventional traps

FireFork™

Updated Mar 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Oh my gosh!! What a great idea! Turn any stick into an easy hotdog fork!!! No more having to make a sharp end on a stick or force it through the hotdog you then have to eat!

Website info:
Sometimes the most ingenious tools are also the simplest. This bent piece of stainless-steel wire will convert a stick into an excellent campfire fork. The sprung design of the wire ensures it will clamp securely on any stick up to 1/2" in diameter. The two prongs double your marshmallow roasting capacity and have slightly flared tips to firmly hold larger items, such as sausages, without fear of sacrificing dinner to the fire.

With a protective polycarbonate storage cover, its compact design (only 4" long and weighing less than 1 oz) is perfect for campers. Available in packages of two. Every campfire aficionado should have one in their stocking this year

Drywalkers™

Updated Mar 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

I have to agree with the website - why didn't someone think of this years ago and why doesn't every household have a pair???? Just slip them on over your regular shoes to keep from tracking things into the house or taking the time to take of the shoes (again) before that quick trip into the house for whatever it was you forgot the last time!

the website says:
This is such a good idea we are surprised nobody thought of it long ago.

These heavy felt slippers slide over wet or dirty shoes and boots to let you walk across a clean floor or carpet. You can come in for a drink (or ?) and return to the garden without having to remove your footwear. Ideal for those people who think that four steps on a clean floor does not really constitute "coming in".

An anti-slip strip on the bottom ensures solid footing, even on smooth surfaces. Sold as a pair. Available in two sizes: the large measures 15-1/2" x 7-1/2"; the extra-large measures 17-1/2" x 9".

To clean, brush when dry, or hand wash and air dry.

Collapsible Vase

Updated Mar 4, 2008

1st to recommend

Description

Pretty and easy to store - a great solution to have on hand for unexpected gifts of flowers!!!
Plus, i love the gadget factor!! And it's inexpensive, as are most things at Lee Valley.

The website says:
This clever vase comes flat, as thin as a sheet of cardboard. To mold it, you just fill it with hot water and hand form it to any shape you want. You then empty the vase and refill it with cold water to freeze the shape. After use, you can re-flatten it for storage by putting it back in hot water and smoothing it flat.

Measures 11" x 6". Available in green or blue.

Makes an attractive showcase for a gift of flowers.

how can this be so difficult and so fun at the same time?? Great for anyone who types all day or who just wants to improve the strength and reflexes in the hands. It uses centrifugal force to create an inner spinning ball - you "just" hold onto the outer cover...
