The Amazonian's bracelets merely deflect bullets. But thanks to six embedded magnets, this Velcro-fastened, nylon wristband can hold nails, bolts and other small metal objects. This one is a little handier around the house, we think.

This notepad for when you want to use your noodle
We're talking oodles of ramen to gaze at (and write on) with no added MSG.
