Little known mail order places that you like.

I've got two.

Micro-Mark - Minature tools and supplies for model makers, etc.

American Science and Surplus - An infinity of off-the-wall stuff. Magnets, optics, tools, materials, lab glassware, etc.

This thread could get expensive

Lots of small, useful gear and kit supplies. (I have a weakness for their titanium product line).

I'm honored to be able to browse the shelves of American Science Surplus and someone here on the forum thinks is a cool place!

Inventory always changes, so you never know what you may find.

I forgot about that place! There's one in West Chicago, IL that I used to browse 20 or so years ago. I should try to get back there.

It's what Radio Shack used to be, only on a much larger scale. They also have a store in Needham, Ma for those in the area.

Burdick Chocolate!

Seriously good chocolate, cocoa, etc. A consultant we had doing some team building about 15 years ago praised them, and it's been my go-to for wife, critical employees, occasional clients and such ever since. Not cheap but not ridiculous either.

^ Been in two of their retail locations local to me. They are what I imagine an old school general/hardware to have been. Popular with the local Amish population as well.
