A hand trowel having a flat blade, a handle, an angled stem, and a bucket hook which has a length dimension of approximately one-and-one-half inches and extends beyond the attachment point of one end of the stem to the blade. Thus, the trowel can be stored in a substantially vertical, secure and fixed position on the lip of a bucket, preventing the handle from coming into contact with the contents of the bucket, or the contents being inadvertently spilled onto the work area. It also has a larger blade than is typically used for semi-fluid masonry products, to carry more product at a time to the working area, as well as act as a counterweight for the handle to keep the tool from falling out of bucket when it is moved. Thus, the present invention allows the operator to work more efficiently, and maintain a cleaner, less cluttered working area.

Toothpaste tubes can be messy and difficult to squeeze. There have been numerous attempts to create a neater toothpaste dispenser. This invention uses an air pump and an inflatable air bladder to squeeze toothpaste from a toothpaste tube out of a nozzle. The dispenser is less messy than a toothpaste tube, and easy enough to use one-handed.

This device is designed to provide a secure mounted holder for a child's drinking cup. Most child cups are now designed to be spill proof but they are still often dropped or thrown by the child off of the high chair tray or table and onto the floor. This is very inconvenient and potentially dangerous.
