Miniature 5–1/2" steel needle files. They come in the usual assortment of flat, wedge, triangular, and round shapes, (10) in all. They seem to be pretty uniformly fine with none that we would call coarse. Made in China, they come in a vinyl carrying case that snaps shut. Not as classy as some of the sets we have seen in the $18.00 range, but perfectly serviceable for most applications. And at a third the price.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Microscope on a keychain unlocks the secrets of the very small, and of your house, car, tool box, or sample kit. Whatever you have locked with the keys on the key chain! The microscope is actually a plastic magnifier, 5/8" dia x 1-1/2" long OA and is of surprisingly good quality!! The packaging says it is 20X but we estimate it is in the 10X to 20X range. The key chain snaps on with a 2" long chain and has a circle holder for keys. It could double as a belt clip for the magnifier. Durable, great for kids, camping and general knock about service.

Clever, the way this little metal tool works while it keeps your fingers clean and safe. Squeeze and release the 4-1/2" long spring handle to open and close the 1-3/4" dia mesh ball. Fill the ball with jewelry, unwashed mineral samples, tea, fines herbs, whatever, then submerge it in jewelry cleaner, water, stew -- whichever seems to work best! Not intended for use at higher temperatures.

Along with five of your friends with these new-age-appropriate chokers-unless you're all interior linemen, in which case these are bracelets. They're made of braided twine, 19-1/2" long, each with at least a couple of beads. The one we saw had (3) large multi-color-embedded-in-black ceramic beads, but yours may differ. Made in India.

Slow down and order a model-ship kit of the USS Constitution, aka Old Ironsides, the frigate (now moored in Charlestown, MA) that won the War of 1812. This smallish, but nicely detailed and reasonably complex wooden kit, is made for ages 10 and up-which means complicated enough to be fun to build but simple enough not to make you scream AAAAAARGHH and quit. It's approx 8-1/2" long x 9" tall when assembled, with rigging. Comes with good directions. You add the glue and paint or varnish and it's ready for the mantel.

Jars, (8) of them, shaped like inkwells. They're in the Pond's-is-cold-cream jar colors, but reversed: bright pistachio-green polypropylene jars with white plastic screw caps. Each 2-ounce jar measures 2-3/8" tall x 2-7/16" dia at the base with a 1-1/4" ID mouth.

And easy to store. One of the better pick-up tools we've seen. Folds to just over 16" to store, but locks open at 30" with spring steel arms on an aluminum frame. It has soft, suction-cup-shaped grabbers and big, locking pistol grip. Pretty good gripping capacity too-maybe to 10 lbs or so. Get one for Mom, because at her age she can't reach the things she used to. And then get another one for yourself, because you'll be Mom's age before you know it.
