This tool kit has a built-in heavy-duty flashlight and a pulsing warning light on one end; the inside is packed with Phillips and flathead screwdrivers, an adjustable wrench, a seven-piece Allen wrench set, pliers and Ð of course Ð a hammer. It costs $35 at Brookstone stores and through their catalog (800-351-7222; www.brookstone.com).
Keeping Fluffy fed
Make sure your kitty gets fed on time while you're on the road. This pet dish works on a timer to give your pet up to six meals at pre-set times (at 6-, 12-, or 24-hour intervals). It's made of heavy-duty plastic and can hold wet or dry food; the removable lid and food trays make cleanup easy. It costs $44.99 through Chef's Ingenuity catalog (888-944-9888; www.chefscatalog.com) or at www.gadgethome.com, www.stacksandstacks.com, and www.epets.com.
ÔConvertible' gloves
Baby, it's cold outside... this week. Because it's New England, even though it was 60-some degrees just a week or two ago, a blizzard could be in the forecast for tomorrow. Be prepared with these ragg flip-top gloves. Part glove, part mitten, these hand-warmers have a leather palm and thumb, and the mitten flap secures to the back with Velcro to keep it out of your way. A pair costs $18.50 from the Early Winters catalog (800-458-4438; www.earlywinters.com).
