Baby, it's the weekend outside. |

|
| | | SABER RATTLING | Opening Your Champagne the Hard Way | | Any clown or Super Bowl champion can pop open a bottle of champagne. Not you—you're going to slice the top off with a sword made from Damascus steel. This sword, in fact—the world's most expensive. It's a rousing start to your resolution to be more samurai in 2012. | | | | |
|
| | | BRING THE NOISE | Making Your Party Louder | | Noisemakers. Designed to create sounds that are only welcome or even tolerable on the final night of the year. These vintage ones are your play. Because today's noise just isn't the same. | | | | |
|
| | | SCREW IT | The Latest in Corkscrewing | | Before things take a turn for the bubbly, you might want to crack open a bottle of red. Or a bottle of white (whatever kind of mood you're in tonight). This corkscrew has the same gears you've got in your automatic transmission. Yes, it's totally necessary. | | | | |
|
| | | FIRE STARTER | A Detonator for Your Fireworks | | You've got two good hands. And you aim to keep it that way. So you'll set off any NYE fireworks with this remote control system. Just clip the little clips onto the fuse, step back about 80 feet and press the launch button. Then prep for "oohs" and "aahs." | | | | |
|
| | | FINAL COUNTDOWN | Counting the Hours with Total Precision | | You can't be expected to always know what time it is. And subtraction: save it for mathematicians. So this app counts down the exact number of seconds until New Year's strikes wherever you and your iPad are. Your move, Seacrest. | | | | |
