Naw, powered off the mains. Great for desktops, kitchen counters, etc.

only do the .co.uk on your end and find something similar.
Ridiculous how the pricier ones have “automagic temperature control and smart this and smart that. Feh. Cheap heating element on a metal plate is all you need.
A handy “edc” pen, like a Zebra F-701 (<$10), Parker Jotter ($20), Space Bullet ($25). Add a memo pad or refills (couple more bucks).
I didn’t know you can get mains powered ones. That looks much more useful!
I like that idea, thanks. I’ve not gone down the rabbit hole of quality pens yet. https://www.reddit.com/r/pens looks like it could get expensive…
And with Zebra F-701 you need Zebra F-402 (like I understand F-701+F402= Zebra FxMD)
explained here
And of course Fisher Space Pen Refill
Nah, there is no need for the F-701/F-402 mod any more. For the last 2 years or so, the F-701 has been sold as an “All-Metal version”. Zebra Pen website

I like music I add inside my favorite album 
So micro SD with some good song inside

For cats, how about a motorized flapping fish at Amazon!
I got my cats a nice squooshy bed each, for upcoming chilly weather, and I can’t bribe them to even sit in it. Once I saw one in it, but never again. My other one, I pick him up to try to put him in it, and his arms’n’legs go outstretched and he’s yowling “Nooooooo!!!” the whole time.
Also got a “crinkle-tunnel”, thinking they’d play in that. Pffft, yeah. I leave the brown “butcher-paper” that Chewy uses as box-filler, and they’ll both dive into that, but pay good money for something real for them to play in, and nope.
That said, a hand-warmer, or two (one for each hand). Especially the ones that double as power-banks, like, why not?
Catnip!! That’ll get em to where you want in a hurry. :laughing: I dunno but they just go crazy all of a sudden when they sniff catnip. It’s like fentanyl for cats or something.
Alonefire S11 keychain light, each costs about US$10 during this BF sale is to be considered. If you want more, you can go to Alibaba.com to order in bulk (50 or 100 pieces, each costing around US$5).
Also quite nice is the Sofirn C01S mini-flashlight, which comes in different four or five colours, each one is about US$8.15 (I bought two, one Tan and one Blue on Lazada Singapore last night for S$11 each).

I’m disgusted with the stuff.
Petco had their Leaps’n’Bounds brand, decent size jar, that even the dregs from like 3yrs ago still has a nice pungent smell. No more. They don’t sell it at all, not in-store and not online. Now all they carry is grossly overpriced teeny envelopes of the stuff with cutesy names like “Meow-juana”.
So I tried Amazon. Huge bag of supposedly organical catnip. Pungent smell… for like 3 days. Didn’t even smell like catnip, but something else, nfi what. Looked like sawdust. Probably was sawdust, sprayed with catnip-juice. Returned it (and for me to return something, it really has to suck).
So, still on my quest…
I wish someone in my family would buy me an Emisar or Lumintop t-shirt! Ferget the neckties, people!!
jlhawaii808 is selling them. I’m just a satisfied customer of his, and not affiliated with him.
A fruitcake is always appropriate. Pretty much inedible but something of a gesture about your love for the recipient. Use with caution.
I previously gave out the Harnds Lark as a mass gift. It’s an appropriately sized key chain knife. As a slip joint, it stays closed in pocket and is totally uncomplicated for people to figure out. The clip for the key ring can be used as a bottle opener. It also comes in different colors. Being able to find out everyone’s favorite color in advance made it a hit.
Depending on the crowd, you might also try the Sanrenmu 6027. Unlike most “knives with a bottle opener”, this one seems more like a dedicated bottle opener that’s also a knife. It’s a cool idea, comes in different colors, and can be had in two different blade shapes.
The only issue for these is that’s getting late to be ordering from places like AliExpress. You’d have to find a source with quicker shipping.
I saw a sign at Amish house near Oxford PA a while back that said home made cat nip, when I get down there again I’ll stop in and see if it’s the real skunky stuff and get you some.
My cats will love some bud too and you are right the store bought stuff loses it’s punch after a couple days.
Later,

love my zebra 701! Gave everyone in my office one last year as a gift (8 people), just because I was new to them at the time and they're awesome for the price! Bought some refills cheap too. Give em to the folks when they need em. Great gift! ALL metal pen, under $10
