    27. A six-pack of bottle openers that use magnets to hold caps in place, so you'll be able to pop them off in one try. Cracking open a cold one shouldn't take a lot of elbow grease, and these handy doodads will make it super easy.

    32. And finally, a silicone ear-cleaning tool that's gentler on your ear canal than classic cotton swabs. Reviewers say the flexible tip is great for digging out built-up wax and that it saves them from going to the doctor to get their ears irrigated.
