I am a superhero. Or at least I feel like one when I strap on this wonder-of-wonders, miracle-of-miracles. This little item gives new meaning to the term "hands-free operation," and puts the go back in ergonomics. Essentially a finger-mounted flashlight, it's touted as "the world's most advanced LED technology micro-illuminating system"--and hey, you feel just as cool wearing it as paraphrasing it. I don't know how long it lasts, and I almost don't care, 'cause THIS ring could take you places. Trouble is, I wish I had 10 of them, one for each finger. Shadow puppets everyone!

The partially sighted or blind have a great need for products that are designed with their particular abilities in mind. And sometimes it takes very little to adapt a device to make it useful to more of the population--witness this simple yet ingenious tape measure with Braille indicators. It has tactile measurements every 1/8", and each foot is marked in Braille. There is also a 25-footer available, as well as a smart 12" aluminum ruler with Braille at every inch mark.

Suck on these for a minute or two and you'll never go back to penny candy again. These tres-chic pastilles are so yummy that a box doesn't last nearly long enough, and once your friends find you with them, well...forget about it, you can go home and pray they'll be available en-bulk from the price club next year. The box is a nice piece of packaging that really is retro-original--a tin gem that can be reused to hold everything from sugar cubes to Phillips-heads when you're done. Grether's are available in Blackcurrant (my favorite) and Redcurrant flavors, and if you want my advice, buy the double size when you see 'em. Wait, actually, can I have another one of those?
