About this list:

I like things that are offbeat, whimsical and wacky but that still serve a purpose. Again, these aren't things you'll likely see at your local big-box store or mall.

Mon KEYS - Key caps

29 people recommended this item

Description

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.

clever and cute! plus they GLOW!!!

SKELETON KEYS
Glow in the dark skullcaps for your keys!
what waits for you behind the unopened door - perhaps it's fate? More likely it's Rover who needs his walkies. Either way, these glow-in-the-dark key caps are perfect for boneheads who can't remember which key goes where... or super cool people who know how to accessorize their stuff.

Set of 6 stretchy skulls. Pirate booty, buried tiki idols and keys not included.

How cute is this??? Just set the timer and the little penguin pulls your tea bag out of your brewing tea at the correct moment, saving you the untold horror of over-steeped tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It also doubles as a regular kitchen timer up to 20 minutes.

Waspinator

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
