Latern This LED Lantern claim s to be the most dependable lantern on the market.  It has no bulbs to burn out, or  disposable batteries to replace, and you can power it yourself when you need to.  There is a  rechargeable battery meaning that there is no use of disposable batteries. With this lantern, you've got light anytime, anywhere.  It is actually pretty well priced as well.

This eco lantern has ultra-bright LEDs as the light source for  illumination, as well as a  single-LED directional light for use as a reading or flashlight. This lantern has Ultra-bright white LEDs rated for 100,000 hours (that's 11 years of continuous use, 24 hours a day). Ideal for everyday and emergency use, indoors and out.  I am totally adding this to my Red Cross emergency kit along with 100 litres of water, 10 tins of ravioli, a pile of batteries and about 6 dozen pairs of underpants.

  • "A quick wind (about 60 seconds) provides up to 2 hours of light on the lowest setting.  An LED charge level indicator tells you the optimal winding speed. The directional light will shine for up to 35 hours continuously."

    • Free Play LED Lantern in green or yellow, $49.99 @  grassrootsstore.com

Seaurchin This sea urchin inspired votive holders are both decorative and usefull.  They are so pretty, yet could easily take someone's eye out if that need arises.  Of course, the best thing about people who sell on etsy that your non interwebs using neighbour won't have such unique candle holders and will seriously covet yours and be assured of your good taste.  It is 6 inches diameter, 3 inches tall.  Artist Heather Knight has plenty of other fabulous clay pieces to complement your pointy sea urchin piece that are also very pretty.

Wclaundrynuggetsall376 This funky little tin is actually filled with nuggets of laundry soap, which, yes, is very good, but I would buy it just for the tin, which is a pretty little objet de vintage awesomeness.

    Besides, I don't really do laundry. I might if I had this sweet little tin, though.

    (Also, don't those laundry nuggets look like marshmallows? That's a hazard. I'd totally eat them.)
