Item Of The Day: Drink Me Pendant Necklace
On Twitter @goddesshanna has posted this little pendant necklace…
“NEW @BobcatInABox !!! The only keywords were: jewelry, pendant, and Alice in Wonderland. Apparently there is an eat me version with a mushroom instead of a key. It could only be cooler if it actually opened.”

Item Of The Day: Multi-function Portable Tool Card
Lauren Clark just posted on Instagram this super cool multi-tool. The feedback data on this product is amazing, so our buying script has ordered hundreds of them. Especially for Lauren I’ve translated the Chinese text (see below) which explains exactly what each of the 11 functions are. I’m not sure a round hold counts as a tool. Lauren was right about the can opener!
Multi-function Portable Tool Card
1. Can opener: For opening tin cans, the lower hook is used together with the upper edge.
2. Side knife: For cutting rope, and after washing can also be used for cutting fruit.
3. Flathead screwdriver: For tightening and loosening common types of screws.
4. Ruler: Uses the metric system; effective measurement distance of 4cm, marked at mm.
5. Bottle-opening:: For opening beer and other beverages.
6. Allen key: For tightening four different types of nuts and bolts.
7. Adjustable spanner: Can be used to screw special bolts such as flat or semi-circular heads using the principle of leverage, or to break hard flat objects.
8. Double-row staggered tooth saw: For sawing wood branches, or removing fish scales.
9. Direction indicator: When unable to distinguish direction in a forest or desert, set your map in the direction indicated by the compass, placing the hollow center of the identifier on your approximate position on map; this can be used continuously to indicate the direction of your destination through the sixteen-scale direction indication.
10. Dowelled spanner: Two different types of allen key smaller than the #6 model.
11 Round hole: Card can be hung on a key ring.
Warning: This tool is made from sharp steel, please be careful while using or carrying it!
Item Of The Day: Ball Feather Wand Cat Teaser
On my personal account the bot just ordered this colorful cat toy. Another subscriber has written in the public description, “Cat loves this toy, both of my cats went insane for this.”
Keywords: fun, cat, stick, wand, cat toy, pet, feather
I do like the merchant’s picture, because if to scale either the cat is tiny or the feather is huge!
