German term or phrase: Praktische Produkte für Beruf, Haushalt und Hobby
This is a lot less urgent than all the legal questions of earlier - a job of less than 100 words that I have three days to do!

The job comprises a bunch of phrases in isolation, but from what I can make out, the products seem to be things like kitchen utensils.

I currently have "Practical products for use in the office, home or leisure activities", but am not 100% happy with that, particularly the latter bit. TIA for your suggestions.

Thank you all for your assistance. One of those ones where there's no absolutely right answer and the points come down to the asker's subjective preference, which somehow never seems a very fair scenario. Never mind, I've gone for a combination of CMJ_Trans' and Trudy Peters' suggestions. Griebler's "handy" for "praktisch" isn't a bad idea either. Thanks again to everyone who contributed.
