Impress the whole neighbourhood with a pumpkin patch of jack-o'-lanterns: Instead of wrestling with a paring knife, create graphic patterns using a drill fitted with various sizes of drill bits and hole cutters. It's perfect for crafting polka dots or spiderweb designs in half the time. Be safe and choose flameless battery-operated candles instead of the real thing. Boo!
