An emergency pack of pole switch stickers, imaginatively labelled "N", "E", "S", "W" or just some "Over Thata-way-ish" stickers to update your maps after the predicted pole switch, so saving money and reducing waste.
Possible spin-offs include adapters for GPS navi kits so they can do a 180 degree
flip, "Nothing to do with us!!!" stickers for Polish people to ward off the torches and pitchforks crowd and on-site support for confused pole dancers (by me (starts visibly perspiring))

Better include a few sheets of lead foil to provide a basic level of protection from increased radiation levels ... |

No one believes me, but being from the East Coast of the US, when I was in California, I had to turn the map upside-down to get where I was going! (the ocean was just on the wrong side!!) SO [+]... |

The streets in Santa Monica are numbered starting at
the ocean. This always made perfect sense to me.
The avenues in Manhattan are also numbered starting
at the ocean. This always confuses the hell out of me
for some reason. |
|
| |
I believe you, [xandram]. Every time I've been out to the
Left Coast, I was constantly nagged by this irksome sense
of directional wrongness, even when I was well out of sight
of the ocean. |
|
| |
and the stickers come with a velcro option, in case the planet decides to make a habit of it. |
|
| |
Hmmph, you should try to regain your sense of direction when the sun is in the North. |
|
| |
I've traveled to many places, but never below the equator.
It must be very strange. |
|
| |
Don't worry, you'll make it to third base one of these
days, [Alter]. |
|

Its alright once you get used to it (referring to my anno not [ytk]'s although it could refer to both). [link] |

and little headbands, like Bjorn Borg, with magnets in them for pigeons, so they won't get lost. See link. |

There have been pole switches in the past. I don't
remember them, but there will be another one some
time in the next 100 or so millennia, I believe. |

//one some time in the next 100 or so millennia, I believe. |
|
| |
Possibly not worth waiting up then? |
|
| |
On the other hand, if we could somehow rig one up it would annoy people who do pigeon racing enormously. |
