Last Man Sanding

Sand art in a glass bottle is an inexpensive gift or home decoration.

Cleaning Products

Mr. Clean is overrated. I prefer Pine-Sol. My house can smell like a Christmas tree year-round? Yes, please!

Land of the Rising Sun

Nothing classes up a living room like one of those samurai sword sets on a display stand.

Dry Erase Boards

When erasing your work from a dry erase board, you may notice that there is some marker residue dust left on the board. Don't trust the erasers to do all the work for you. Keep some cleaning fluid and paper towels handy to get the rest. Your boss will notice!

Bathroom Glass, Bathroom Class

Anyone can cup their hands under the water when rinsing your mouth after brushing, but how many people these days keep a special glass by the sink just for this? Set yourself apart!

Forks

Did you know that the individual points on a fork are called "tines"? You never know when little tidbits of information could come in handy.

Taboos, Part 2

Discussing sex in mixed company is not only rude and vulgar, but potentially confusing.

Thank-You Notes

Saying "thank you" in person when receiving a gift is standard, but no one ever expects a Thank-You Note. It adds a bit of class and sophistication to an otherwise humdrum day, and it does it through the mail!

Army Chic

Army surplus stores are a good place to find vintage clothing and accessories without having to pay vintage-clothing-store prices. Be careful wearing vintage dog tags, though. If you die while you're wearing them, they may think you're someone else.

Concierges

You should always tip the men outside hotels who hail cabs for you. Even though it does not seem like they are performing a service that deserves or requires a tip, it is expected of you. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
