Convenient Surgical Drain Reservoir
Lasts almost two months with constant emptying. Eventually develops small tears in the seams of the plastic bag beside the drain cap which leaks of course (hence 4 stars). Just keep a fresh one on hand because there's no substitute.

The "Instead Of" Timepiece
I like watches. I have managed to keep a vintage Movado Astronic with the Zenith El Primero caliber running for decades (I know a watchmaker guy in Oregon). But I've never had the kind of funding needed to build a collection of timepieces with the features I've always wanted. Two of those were 1) perpetual calendar and 2) minute repeater. This watch has them both for around US$300. The caliber with minute repeater feature is quartz of course, instead of a mechanical version (which generally can't be had for less than $150k). The timbre and amplitude of the chime sounds are quiet and very realistic. It seems to be currently in production (as of late 2016). The caliber was available for a time in an Invicta case, but that seems to have been discontinued. Citizen upgraded their 9000 minute repeater with the Campanola line which seems readily available, but at a much higher price. The Accurist caliber is made in Japan, so you may be assured of high tolerance workmanship (especially time keeping and indexing, i.e., the hands line up exactly on what they indicate). I've had it for about a month now and it has handily kept time with my mobile phone. People notice it; it starts conversations. I'm now saving my pennies for the Accurist GMT 122—which promises to be another outstanding value.

Charmingly Realistic
I always liked the sight of a candle flame fiickering cozily in a corner of a home. It is a subtle beacon to all who pass within. There are long-burning paraffin candles available that do the job for days at a time, but actual flame when nobody's there? No thanks. Then I saw these on the InterWeb. Nothing beats their effect; not neon, not bubbles, not magnetics. They just look great. And you never have to turn them off. In the right fixture (I got a cheap glass globe at Ross and put in a candelabra base socket), they make the house say, "...yeah, we live here..."
