I am loathe to cut into the pumpkins sitting on my front porch. The mess. The time commitment. The mess. My kids aren’t going to buy the old “We don’t need Jack-o-lanterns! Let’s leave the pumpkins whole!” act for much longer, what with Halloween just days away, but I think I may have found a solution that doesn’t involve a knife and pumpkin brains. Permapaque — opaque, permanent paint markers from Sakura of America — are perfect for those who can’t stand pumpkin guts but want to do a little decorating before October 31. (And the paint actually stays on the pumpkins, even on frosty mornings.) The double ended markers work on glass, metal, plastic, wood, ceramic, pottery, vellum — pretty much any surface — so you can use them for holiday projects and decorating all year round.

$13 for four at Reuels.com.

Two things I hate: Piles of mail on the kitchen counter and not being able to find my keys. Enter this stylish key and letter holder, with a magnetic surface so you can just stick your keys on it and never have to do the deep dive into your purse again.

I know I need this — and I don’t even carry a purse most of the time. In fact, that’s why I need this; they’re all looped over doorknobs and stuffed into a corner of my closet right this very second. Come to think of it, it would probably work great for my kids’ hat collections, or for errant stuffed animals; each strap holds eight purses (or anything else you can slip onto a strap, I’m guessing). Adjustable, over-the-door storage just might be a busy, cluttered mom’s dream come true.
