We used to think that both the bungee cord that keeps our trash raccoon-free and the twist tie that keeps our English muffins fresh couldn't be improved upon, until we got our fingers on Gear Ties (niteize.com; from $4.49)-strong, pliable, reusable wire cables sheathed in grooved rubber for a faultless grip. The colorful ties vary in length from 3 inches to 64, making it simple to secure and de-clutter everything from the spaghetti tangle of your computer and earbud cords to the camping gear you'd rather not have slide off your car's roof at highway speeds. Never a Boy Scout? Not a problem. No knots are necessary; just grab and twist for a tight hold. They'll keep all your goods secure-until raccoons develop opposable thumbs, anyway.
